WOW! that was a short chapter, but it was fun to do after such a long one! I’ll be taking a couple weeks to get the next chapter ready, but look forward to some guest content! If you’re still in the mood for more Fritz, check out this short FanFic over on Tumblr!
I just finished reading it in one go. Before anything else, I hate it. It’s such a dark world.
It made me feel many dreary things pull at my heart. I find it distasteful, in a 70’s rage kind of way. But it is honest, it is self-aware and it is dry.
By now I found it to be a story about a boy who is on fire. It hurts and he can’t put himself out, because if he isn’t on fire than who is he? But eventually he will burn out, as fires do, and there will be nothing left of him but cinders and ashes. And that leaves a bitter taste, doesn’t it?
I once read that a good story is either strongly hated or loved deeply. Thank you so very much for telling this story, Sarah Fowlie, and please never give up on it. It is beautiful.
I will be anxiously waiting for more,
B.
Thanks so much for reading, and leaving this great, thoughtful comment! One of my favorite things about Fritz is how different people read it in different ways. your ‘boy on fire’ view lines up with my personal goals for Fritz.
Don’t worry, five years in and i have no intention of stopping, Fritz will be seen though until the end! Thank you so much, again.
psst, that fic link doesn’t work anymore! if you’re able to get a new one… i would LOVE to read it!
