What an unpleasant story. I stopped reading ~20% in. I am old, I really don’t choose to spend my time on unpleasantness. Sorry, I’m sure it is a great story.

What a dreamily bittersweet story! Rattled a few of my own bad memories, leaving me wishing I had been offered a similar option at the right moment, but still made me smile. So happy with the way the bitter and sweet got portioned out in the end!

I love how Mr. Carroll plays with time and weaves an intricate pattern with our dreams, desires and imperfections that invite us to question our place in the universe. Thanks!

Every time I read your stories, I am transported to the sort of world I want to believe in – where reality includes a pocket or two of magic that can be found to maybe inspire us to avoid getting stuck in the muck. Such a gift. Thank you.

A woman, who is constantly belittled by her fiance, finds a portal to a new life while visiting a tiny Italian city.

I love the way he distorts time in this piece and gives the city agency.
