Description

How many friends do you have? When a stray thought forces Will Marte to notice the oddities in his everyday life, what follows is a reflection on the friendly relationships he has and had and a contemplation on the question: what is a friend? Having had an unconventional upbringing, he still feels its effects as an adult. Now, everyone around him is aging normally in their conventional life, and he doesn't know how to be rather than to seem. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Published in February 2024 for Open Novella Contest 2024 Copyright © by CrownedMadness (Maddy Alson) 2024
