Thanks for describing the experiment and the intentionality of how you opened the story. I like the idea of tilting focus to the environment and it’s role in shaping our experiences. I’ve always liked pathetic fallacy in the imperative mode but perhaps that is a method for an anthropogenic world order, giving agency back to nature is timely. I would never suggest I know a better way, that’s the great thing about writing, there are so many different ways to go about doing it. Look forward to the next one and I will be sure to check out your other posts.
