I like this. It's a very different take on the prompt.

You should've seen some of the other ideas I had before I landed on this. :) Thanks for reading!

I'd like to believe that there's enough light in people to keep darkness from truly destroying us. But there are times that I wonder.

I like that she found inspiration in a long forgotten line that so many others before her found inspiration in. Almost like she's continuing the rhythm her mother spoke about without actually being aware of it.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah, I suppose that's true. :) Thanks for reading!

The Darkening sounds like a physical darkening too-- as if the sun left-- and it makes me wonder how that happened. Though perpetual BladeRunner clouds would have a similar effect, too.

I deliberately left that vague, but it was intended to be both physical and metaphorical--the idea being that Meg has never known light in the world.

Thanks for reading!
