The layout is really cool! It’s very appropriate to the story.
A lot of people, including myself, can relate to this drabble. One thing that’s different about this though is the way you describe it as being a figment of someone’s imagination. That’s a really cool concept. Most people just describe it as having no control and that’s it, but this is the first time I’ve seen it being portrayed as a figment of someone’s imagination. It gives the whole piece a creepy vibe. Obviously, this narrator is lost and confused and the figment idea blurs the lines of reality.
Thanks for entering my contest!
I love how choppy this is overall. Someone mentioned it below, but that style of writing works perfectly with the idea of the narrator's mindset and it just makes the overall idea conveyed within the piece itself more hard-hitting. The wording is simple without being too bare and the way that you've injected emotion into every single word is pretty crazy. I have no idea how you did it, but the entire thing was really relateable.
I think everyone's felt like this in some form or time, but I don't think I've ever read it put into words and you just described it perfectly. Your writing style is spot-on and you've got a lovely way of describing things. Lovely job!
