Excellent work..
This was fascinating with a nice structure, Antoni! I use to get the later I believe just before waking, but haven’t read up on it for ages so had forgotten the name. It was quite distressing at times.
Loved the structure and vocab of this piece. Great work
Oh wow, this was so profound! Loved it!
