This has to be one of the most difficult chapters I've ever written, for a whole bunch of weird reasons. Let me know what you think. I imagine it'll be pretty divisive.

Two days passed by like a breeze. You delivered an awesome chapter that requires multiple readings. The timing of the explanation of the Great Tower is perfect. Perhaps i will comment more sometime later. This sentence jumped out at me: "He was definitely the father, too, with the reflexes to avoid accidentally getting hit in the crotch." Great observation!

I'm showing my age, writing lines like that.

Imation

Ah, I'm probably much older than you, I learned the reflex 30y ago. And it saved me a lot of discomfort.

I'm 38, no kids of my own but I've worked with more than a few fathers.

67, no kids but my siblings surprised me with a bunch of nephews. And I still doubt if their antics were accidental.

Thank you for this exceptional chapter. Great vivid description of the tower and the void. Touched the heart and the soul with those life examples. Mia collecting answers, david collecting bodies. Haha.

38 here as well and understand this reflex very well!!

The metaphor for the great tower was awesome, by the very definition of the word. Superb job at describing a complex process, but making it digestible and beautiful!

I see why that was difficult to write, but masterfully done. It struck deeply in the feels. It gave more perspective on why and how to be a good person, than a full length philosophic book ever could To use your own metaphor a bit, I think a bit of your golden thread wrapped around me today, and I will not dishonor it by keeping that thread to myself. It will be passed along.

I'm glad it resonated. I wasn't actively trying to make anyone change their behaviour, just make readers feel something.

Some random thoughts after reading Chapter 60 In the previous chapters you dropped enough pieces of the puzzle to make me reminiscing about the world you have build. So the timing of Chapter 60 was perfect for me. Often the metaphor of a carpet is used to describe the surface picture and the myriad of threads of the base. I liked your use of the metaphor of a knitting work to describe the structure. Of course a knitting work also has a surface image and a backstructure of the different threads. With the description of the void you directly point out that we see the structure through the mind of Mia which makes it believable that we see a Christmas scene and the emotional connection she makes with the whole representation. A wild guess: David and Mia regularly mention the lack of caffeine in Hell. I only read something about the void before in the story The Shattering Cross by Caffeinefetish. Is it my over imagination that you are referring to this writer?

AniNovu

Your over-imagination, sorry. I don't read any stories on Lit or similar sites anymore. I do audiobooks these days, stuff on Audible.

Wow, just wow. Thank you, that you share your passion and creative work with us. One of the best chapters, coz lore dump! It's always fun and interesting, especially that complex.
