[2925] Thalissa

Hey RDR,

Thalissa is a speculative short story, more specifically, mythic folklore / coastal gothic with a little bit of magical realism. (It might be leaning toward lit-fic or crossover territory. I say that very hesitately.)

What are your thoughts on it? Is it any good? How can I make it better? All feedback is welcomed. Be honest. I'm not going to take it personally. I just want to be a better writer.

(The whole story is 2925 words and linked. Not an excerpt.)

Crits.
