I have many weeks of food, maybe even months if I ratio it.
I just buy more than I need when I go shopping, then put them in a order so I always use the oldest.
I've been quietly reading along but felt a comment is due by now, if anything just to say I’m loving the work.
The conflict of the story in itself didn't get to me till this chapter. Which not only I get the reason, but find the execution amazing. Maya's stubbornness to have support in any way shape or form still feels a little artificial to me, but I hope time will keep showing me wrong.
I also wanted to comment that your use of voice is AMAZING. It's been a long while since I read something where the less narrative commentary in the text, the better.
Thanks for sharing such amazing work with us. I really can't wait for more.
