Review
I've heard of the name Cressida St. Claire before although I'm not exactly sure where. I guess it makes sense, since this story is written well, but I think this is the first game of theirs that I've played.
It's a brief tale, written for the Neo Twiny Jam. It deals with a child who ponders the constellations they cannot see while waiting for a mother to visit who brings pain.
It's hard to read, because it represents a harsh reality for so many people. Especially the idea that no matter what you do, your abuser will consider something that you did as wrong, anything to justify the treatment. Overall descriptive writing.

Thank you for playing, MathBrush! I appreciate your interest in my work. "and there were no stars." was challenging for me to write due to both the word limit set by Neo-Twiny Jam and the subject matter, and but I did want to challenge myself. I think your identification of the themes is spot-on. I'm so glad you found my writing descriptive and poignant.
