Hey everyone, I’m Ayxan Solongo aka Arden Skye aka TimeFliesAway, a shapeshifter traveling through the multiverse.
It’s a sweet little story about a missing puzzle piece used as an analogy for adopting a baby into a big family.
I can’t say much else about it. Very short, and very straightforward. Felt more like reading a personal letter to the baby in the future, so it can look back and see why they adopted it. (Whether that’s good or bad is very subjective. Personally, I found it a little boring, but not bad.)
The rhymes of the narrator weren’t always as smooth, but the story mainly lives from its artistic imagery. And those are clean, I like the semi-realistic style.
