Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

What a fun read!!
Oooooh, wow. I adore this one, Poppy. I can totally see someone writing these things down, even if you can’t buy them all at a store… Like the general context of going shopping is enough to bring out the items like “deep breath” and “goodbye.” Clever use of the no-context restriction. To me, it counts. Very poignant. 💗
I panicked when I saw the rope and goodbye but was so glad it's crosses out. Tomorrow. That one word was so uplifting! Sending you lots of love and hugs! Hope you're okay! ❤️
Tomorrow, wow.
Oh my. So much said in so few words. Always buy tomorrow. 🤗
Cleverly done poem… Thursday looked very bad… so relieved that Friday is much more hopeful! Always remember that like the song, you ‘had a bad day… not a bad life.’
As Annie said … “The sun will come out tomorrow.” Hopefully not finding us with Chris Pratt in ‘The Tomorrow War.’ Very nice job with this Poppy.
Poppy, this was amazing, and heartwrenching. Well done on saying so much with so little. Just to check, though, hope you're okay?
I love these two, side by side. Always, wait one more day.
I love sunflowers 🌻
Much as I've been feeling of late. Is everything okay, Poppy?
💚
Sending hugs!!!
