i read your story "My Mothers Other Face" While writing this scene was your intention to create suspens or to give it a psychologicl horor feel? And is the absence of the ‘Ma’ character meant to be literal or symbolic?
Thank you so much for reading my story. My goal is to with that scene was definitely to build a slow burn suspense leading into a psychological horror where the tension comes unseen as what’s right in front of you. As for Ma’s presence… I will just say her absence isn’t accidental. Whether it’s literal or symbolic will become clearer as the story unfolds ☺️
