I love the ending. Today, the only day. And this: “All of this–her entire life and the current day–somehow managed to be all Janie’s fault and entirely out of her control at the same time.” Oof, such a relatable feeling. Of being human.
Beautifully written. Great language, nice metaphors. As a fan of hero's journey stories I normally can't stick with a main character who's sad and drifting, but your writing was creative and engaging enough to lock me in -- for a short story at least. I do wonder if the sad drifting main character, which I see everywhere, is a sign of our times.
