This sounds oddly complicated to me. Yet, it doesn't take anything away, rather adds to the feeling of half-awake on the subway and slightly dazed because of it.

Delightfully hazy, if only to me.

Felicia.

what if it isnt shivering?

what if

we had these answers.

Wow, I actually think I got a bit of a shiver when I read that last line. lol.

The piece was just "wow."

"She breaks completely in this eggshell lonely life."

I don't think I need to say much about that. lol.

She seems as though she welcomes the nightmares even more than the morning.

Very impressive.

So beautiful. I love that this entirely about sleeping and waking, dreams and reality. Fantastic. "purple threading nightmare" is such a wonderful phrase. I love that. I notice that you use purple quite a bit as a descriptive color. Any reason for that? It's a great color to use, by the way. Your subtle uses of alliteration throughout this are also fantastic. I really love this entire piece. Great work. Favorite. Keep writing! :)

I feel thoroughly un-qualified to review this. That is how wonderful it is.

You have stunningly beautiful wording throughout the piece. Stunningly beautiful. The overall tone is extremely poignant. I no less than love the ending, as well as the first to the last line. I don't know what else to say.

Thank you very much for sharing this.
