RE: Responsibility - a Dream Steem story Between The Lines
It took me almost twice as long to read your work.
Bravo 👏👏👏
I was so engrossed in your story that I didn't want it to end. What an intriguing perspective. You are a master of fiction.
Reading between the lines, I sense that you crafted your narrative more around the title than the prompt in the form of the middle portion. Nevertheless, it's acceptable because you executed it brilliantly.
As Justin leaves his room, a brief glance at his seemingly disinterested parents on the couch reveals a longstanding pattern of boredom, emphasizing a stark contrast between the microcosm of family dynamics and the grandiosity of the master's control.
I can empathize with Justin. He must be contemplating and possibly frustrated with his hypocritical father. This scene is so commonplace in many households.
We are all puppets in the hands of power, and the strings are so tight that they sometimes choke us.
If it comes to fiction I find it hard to write about. At first I intended to write about the girl's fear her mom would find out there was a dirty spot on the new dress (been there with my mother telling me to be more respinsible and take care of my new Sunday dress instead of always being clumsy and spoiling and breaking everything) but I think this is better because the sadness pouring out of that little girl in combination with such a story wouldn't make me feel any better.
Besides I wanted to show me my continued struggle & stress with AI generated pictures - kind of frustrating most results I get.
Indeed puppets we all are let's hope Justin will not change in a monster because of being neglected.
Thanks for reading me between the lines. 👍
Ok, I feel you.
But the contest was not about generating any pictures or images or even using them :)
