A message from the Government of Canada
Doo doo dee doo
An important PSA for the new year, and well-written, Voss. Death, though not my favorite topic, is important in world-building and storytelling when used well, and this depiction - however staged it may be for dramatic effect - is an example of solid use of the topic to build a setting and a message.
TL;DR: well done, Voss!
Thank you very much, Nile! Death is absolutely a heavy topic and should always be used with respect for the impact it has. I had a good template to follow here in those real-world PSAs, and I feel I did well in translating it to the setting. I'm glad you feel the same!
I adore the format here, it’s clean while letting you shove in a lot of visceral detail
Glad you like it! There's a lot of room to experiment with fiction in different formats, and this one seems to do a good job helping the reader visualize a scene with strong control of the pacing. I may do more in-fiction ad spots like this in the future.
I really like this. It paints such a vivid picture. I would love to see more stuff like this, and that safety class that Valeska did with handling micros.
I appreciate that, Ransom! I think there's a lot of value to discuss in terms of safety and care for those less powerful. I definitely intend to write more to come!
