screenshot of the first page of the novellete "Out of Reach Stars and a Garden of Hope", the penultimate piece of my environmental writing collection "The Existentialist Dread of a Gen Z'er". It reads: When I was a little kid, my grandma told me about the stars. How when she was a little girl she could look up at the night sky and see them twinkling. But when I looked up at the night, all I ever saw was grey. Our air was grey. Our sky was grey. Our nights were grey. Grandma would tell me of the days she and her friends would run around outside with each other and play games. Sometimes they spent time at each other’s houses or had get-togethers with the neighbors. I didn’t have many friends, and Mom didn’t like me going outside, except on good weather days. We didn’t really know our neighbors either, but mostly because there never seemed to be enough down time to get to know each other. The adults were always working, trying to pay bills. I lived with my mom and grandparents in a mid-sized town, Winden, which was nestled along Lake Lealaas, a massive lake that defined the region. Integral to the town was the airship factory, where most of the non-mages in town worked. The same factory where grandpa lost his arm and couldn’t work no more. They worked long hours at that airship factory, making the engines that ran on the magic weylines that allowed the airships to fly. Grandpa says those engines are dangerous to make, accidents happened. The smokestacks pumped out the gas that filled the air and the water with grey now for decades. Once the factory workers demanded better, but grandpa says the bosses just threatened to move their business elsewhere, so nothing was done. Part of me felt bad for being grateful that Grandpa had lost his arm.

just a screenshot of some copyedits that i'm going through. The important part is where I have a comma highlighted with a comment that reads, "I have this comma here to emphasize the isolation of my aloneness." Describing myself as eloquent with words, is me being sarcastic and making fun of myself.
