Vigil
weddings, death, past and present all in one summer evening. reading this felt a bit like being stuck inside someone elses head, in a good way though. confusing at times, but intentional.. for both life and death are just like that. its short, almost fleeting, but it leaves something behind.
not loud, not dramatic, just there. one of those reads that makes you pause for a second after finishing, even if you cant fully explain why. in a satisfactory kind of way though.
A note on filing
Marten's Archive does not rank or score in the manner of a register; the figure of 5 is shorthand for editorial fondness, nothing more. It is meant as an invitation, not a verdict — a small mark left in the margin so that a future reader may find the page again.
