I tried something a little different this week. I wrote a short piece for a Reedsy site prompt: “Write a story from the POV of a sidekick, or someone who is happy to stay away from the spotlight.” As I discovered, point of view can be more than a technical choice. Sometimes it opens a portal. I didn’t expect this prompt to lead me to Elliot’s imagined voice — present, but not omniscient; near, but not fully reachable. The result is The Other Side. It’s part ghost story, part grief meditation, part Twilight Zone transmission. The line is always open.
