My attempt at this week's Thursday Prompt. This week, the word for the prompt was "nature".
As always, please be sure to check

Going to be honest, kind of lost track of where I was going with this one as I was very quickly starting to fall asleep. It kind of works... I think? Couldn't really think of much of anything, kind of just in one of those moods lately.

I'm very glad to hear you thought I got the emotion well. To be honest, I was thinking back on some of your transformation stories while trying to figure this one out. I don't think I quite matched the level of detail you manage to put in to your stories, but I gave it my best effort.
Thank you much for reading over this one.

This is so emotional. I got that the boy ended up leaving a friend of his when getting scared during a lightning storm. She died getting struck by lightning, which he saw, causing his guilt. Then, he finds the vial and note, visiting where she died. I really thought he transforms into a fox, but you made it come off as him dying and going to heaven with his friend.
I'm glad you thought the emotion really stood out, probably obvious I was really pushing for it.
Your interpretation is almost exactly what I was going for and helped me pinpoint some of the problem areas with this one, thank you very much for your thoughts and simply reading over it.

Well, that's a horrific read, in a good way. You have a good way with your words, describing both emotion and body horror. Weirdly the story reminds me of "The Brothers Lionheart" by Astrid Lindgren, which is a fairy-tale about dead children.
Regarding your comment, it is not always bad to just write whatever comes to your mind without aim or plan. Yeah, stream of consciousness writing does not always produce very good results, but it is a good exercise in creativity, in my opinion.
Well written. This one definitely concentrates more on the emotion and descriptions, but not every piece needs to be full of action and dialogue. I enjoyed reading it.

I very much appreciate your thoughts on the story, thank you for that and also for reading through it.
I'm afraid I had not known "The Brothers Lionheart", but looked up a quick synopsis. In a sense, I suppose that is what I was going for. I'm glad you thought that the story went over well despite my own reservations about it.

Of all the beautiful atmosphere and emotion in this piece, I think my favorite detail is the photographs being turned to face the wall. It's such a small detail, but it says so much. As much as I envy your way with description, small hints of deep emotion like that will always hit the hardest for me. One of my favorite pieces of yours ^^
I'm very glad to hear you thought that little detail went over well. I don't always think about the little things like that, but I feel when they're done right that they can be really impactful.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read over this one, much appreciated.
