Author Notes:

This is my first time showing a WIP to a larger group, so my main aim is to get an understanding of how my work is received by other readers.

In terms of the submission:

• Did you enjoy the prose? Was it entertaining to read?
• How do you feel about the characters that you meet?
• Would you read on based on what you have read?
• How do you feel about the world that I am building?
• Is the prose even legible? I am brand new to this dynamic, so I am interested to know how my work feel to be read by people other than myself.
• Where do you see this story going?

Notes to organisers:

Additional content warnings: Grief, Dementia, Cults
