I didn’t particularly like this until the last few paragraphs, which I feel are really well written compared to the rest of the piece (this is both praise and criticism). It feels like a very rough or early Scott Alexander piece (this is both praise and criticism). I don’t feel like my time has been wasted, which is the most fundamental job of a short story. Keep writing, keep practicing.
Interesting; from my perspective, I got really lazy in the end. And another fellow told me yesterday the ending was awful. I do think it is the weakest thing I have posted recently, but people seem to really like it, so what do I know?

I am pretty happy with the last two: https://substack.com/@tomasbjartur
And I do plan to keep writing. I am having fun.
