I thoroughly enjoyed the fable tone. The simple characterizations, shorter sentences, and the intentional lack of specificity, made it feel almost like an oral recounting. Some very funny moments as well. I do have to take issue with the artist asking about the rapture, though. The rapture wasn't really a thing until the early nineteenth century. Still, a great story.
This is brilliant and I’m so happy I came across your writing—I love how you characterized the artist’s gentle, patient skepticism about all this futuristic technology. Genuinely such a pleasure to read

Thank you so much, Celine! Makes me so glad to hear - and glad it led me to your excellent Substack, too!
