I feel haunted. And intrigued. And it feels dreamlike and horrifying all at once. I’m not practiced at writing literary analysis, but it feels so whole, like the unnerving opening to a beautiful sci-fi film.
Writing how something makes you feel is far more important than literary analysis... I do see everything in a filmic way... a hangover from my MA... I like that it comes through as well... I'm writing the films nobody would let me make.
I have a sci-fi series which I have written for TV - it will never get made until it’s a novel or a graphic novel - my whole SubStack journey was focused on doing just that… now… it’s just another thing I will write one day… no end goal, no finish line, just journey.
I like journey. I used to (have to be) a goal-oriented person. Now I realise that's not all it's cracked up to be. Still finding my way two and a bit years after leaving the corporate world...
Ah, the corporate world. What did you do? I’m a Creative Director in my own Video and Events agency, www.studiogiggle.co.uk. I have been chewing corporate scraps for nearly 20 years. My plan is to work my way out over the next 3 years and then do something for myself… hopefully involving writing in some way shape or form.
I worked in finance, specifically in legal and compliance. Fun, fun times. I still do related work, but now in a self-employed capacity, and on a very part time basis. Which suits me!
I used to know someone in Events. My idea of hell, but then she said my job was her idea of hell too! 😂
Finally got a chance to dig into this full story. This is an exquisite fusion of science fiction and raw emotional depth—entanglement as both a quantum phenomenon and a profound metaphor for love, loss, and the self’s dissolution into another. The writing is immersive, lyrical, and devastatingly intimate. A beautifully executed meditation on connection, grief, and the permanence of love.
Honestly, I'm at a loss for words right now. Thank you... for taking the time to read the story and for your thoughtful and generous comments. This story made me go deep and to be seen like this and understood means more than I can express.
"It's funny how fleeting forever can be".

Yay - I was very much hoping you would read it…

I’m reading ‘Playback’ at the same time… how very Substack of us.
Adorbs.

I love graphic novels, by the way.
