Just read this ~ amazing ~ anglerfish SF story by @MLClark

It's over 10 years old, but I had never encountered it before, and whoa. Philosophical, emotional, and a totally convincing portrayal of what it would be like to be a tiny, male anglerfish meeting up with a enormo-huge female anglerfish. Will have to check out other stories by the author (... who is based in Medellín, NICE)

@asakiyume What a kind and wonderful post.

Thank you so much for taking time with my story! I'm so glad it moved you and resonated on such a deep level.

And thank you for letting me share in the joy of your discovery. You've made my day with this.

@MLClark It was really wonderful--thank *you* for realizing it so completely and believably, and for framing all these meaningful questions in such a great way! Now I want to read your other stories. Unrelatedly ... También tengo celos porque usted vive en una ciudad muy hermoso que conocí por la primera vez este verano ^_^

@asakiyume

En serio?! Ah, ¡qué bueno! Espero que hayas tenido una experiencia inolvidable. :) ¡Te espero la próxima vez!
