This is the most relatable resurrection I’ve read in weeks. Ceiling collapse, heat dome, and tech-lich overlords—honestly, it’s a miracle you’re still vertical, let alone writing. But your resilience is as unhinged as it is admirable.
Also: When He Calls Your Name is a riot. You’ve got this gift for disguising biting commentary as gleeful chaos, and it works. Hard. Loved the twist, loved the tone, and yes—laughed a very minor organ loose.
Looking forward to the finale of Move Fast and Break People. Take your time. Some of us are still recovering from the last chapter.
Very, _very_, nice story. I’ve said it before, I’ll no doubt say it again: you have a genius for fitting voice to narrative and character.
Screeching left turn: the phrase “tech-lich overlords” reminded me of the Red King, the immortal skeleton-lawyer in Max Goldstone’s Craft Sequence. Those techno-assholes would be delighted to be him.

Your posts as well as others subscribed to don't show up in my notes/feed, although liking recent posts. Substack's chat gives nonsensical answers.

I adored that short, thank you!
That’s a stunning piece of writing and a great story.
excellent short, thanks!
It's really, really good.
Wishing you calmer days, Cat.
Recommendation: combine showers with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap. VERY refreshing in summer.
