What an eerie and captivating tale! The way Julia’s harmless little phrase, “it’s settled then,” transforms from a tool of social control into a desperate plea in the midst of supernatural terror is chilling. The build-up from an ordinary afternoon tea to a storm of bargains and forfeit is so well paced, and the ending with the yellow butterfly is both haunting and poetic.
Wow! thank you so much. I love that you saw all of that in the story. It was a fun piece to write, a bit outside of what I usually do, but with a reaction like yours, very well worth the effort.

Enjoyed it truly
Lovely story. Great setting and I like that you don't over explain the mom's history. It's implied through action.
Thank you! Seemed a bit much to get into all that. Knowing that SOMETHING happened was enough I thought.
Absolutely. I think it's a sign of a mature writer, leaving things for the readers to interpret.
Thank you. I used to fell compelled to over explain everything. It took a while to see what a mistake that was.
I’m speechless SPEECHLESS. Pure shivers. Never saw it coming.
Wow! Thank you. That’s, like, the best compliment ever!
Oh this is GOOD
Thank you so much!
SCREAM!!! AH 😫😭🦋
I… ummm… I hope that’s a good reaction?
NOT IF YOU'RE JULIA 😭😭 but yes an excellent story :3
Yeah. I guess maybe not for her. One of these days maybe i’ll figure out how to write a happy ending. 🤔
Nah :3 do whatever you want!!
Thank you. It’s not my usual kind of subject matter so it’s nice to think I did okay with it.
