[2375] To Take a Name

Hey Destructo-readers,

I've been writing some short stories to try and gauge my writing as I work through my first attempt at a novel. Been competing in some short story competitions in hopes of gathering feedback and learn what areas to focus on but haven't really gotten the criticism I was looking for. Would love for feedback on my most recent short story submission for that purpose!

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

[Also I know there's some odd formatting stuff in terms of paragraphs not being indented and the like but Reedsy defaults that formatting for some reason, so please ignore.]

Critiques thus far:

[1079] When the Past Recedes

[1958] Memorandum - Chapter 1
