You're very welcome. Short stories are such a great format to write for because you have to keep your ideas so concise, yet still meaningful. It's always an enjoyable challenge, and they do seem perfectly suited to a platform like this... :)
I agree with what Osasuyi said above: I thought there would be a much more sinister ending. I was happy for it to work out the way it did. What a fun story, Claire!
It's so fascinating to me that everyone seems to be getting sinister vibes from this one! Thanks for adding your thoughts to the pile, Justin! I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
Way to rock a prompt, Claire! I don't think I'd want to meet seven of me on an elevator. Though it would be an opportunity to try on a bunch of hair colors. 😂
This is very good - nicely paced and good humoured but with undertones of something more menacing yet to discover - reminds me of the start ofan old sci fi story, Bradbury or Ballard maybe I was really dissapointed when it stopped and thats a rare event
I was going through an aquarium phase when I wrote this one 😂
It's interesting to me that multiple people have mentioned this had a sinister vibe. That was completely unintentional! I'm glad you enjoyed it overall, Scoot!
So good! (I'm so glad I came across your page!)
A very enjoyable and fun interpretation of the prompt. Nicely done... :)
I'm glad to hear that you liked it! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I did, too. But I was completely satisfied with the ending.

I would be terrified if I met seven of me in an elevator!! Thanks for reading, Meg!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm really glad to hear the story worked well for you!
Hilarious and awesome concept. Strangely sinister but you kept it fun and lighthearted. Aquariums of all things! Well done!
