Hey Tracker,
I was attracted to this story because of the title and the word ‘conformity’ in the sub-title. And then her name completely ‘not’ matching the photo. Nothing Lacey about that girl.
You gave me a picture of her life at 15 before and after the ‘move’.
Her locality has become more restrictive and her mother’s values and life-choices when she was the same age are a constant dirge in her ear.
I like the way the story didn’t devolve into a verbal fight between the two females and two generations.
Lacey seems to think her rebel thoughts without hostility. Just a very profound knowledge of who she is.
I notice that this story was written with a specific framework of GoT in mind. Knowing that, I got the vague feeling that perhaps in the closing lines you were telling me that this family life was a type of matrix that she was working herself out of..I don’t know much about these modern things; Game of Thrones and Matrix, so I am probably mixing up the ‘reality’.
But you painted a perfect picture of your title ‘Living Truth.
It can be read either way.
She is the embodiment of ‘A’ living truth: generational division. But also she is ‘living’ her truth: as her own person in her reality.
The writing was clear and easy to read. The words and ideas were smooth with a feeling of clarity and purpose. Nicely done.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing.
