doomed by the narrative

am I a few days late to reply to this? Yes... but we don't have to talk about it

Thanks @winterandwords for the tag!!

Rules: Search for the given words in your story. If your story doesn't have a word, you can use a variation on it or a word with a similar meaning.

My words are: most, fast, lost, test

I'll be pulling from "From the Sea Fret"

Most

In the smallest minutes of silence, when the most of the overwhelming emotions had been vomited out of me, the wind whispered.

Fast

Every step sent a surge of pain to rattle behind my eyes. My ears were ringing, and black dots shot around my periphery. Though I knew I was walking sluggishly, I tried to push myself to walk as fast as possible. Whatever would get me back to my apartment the quickest.

Lost

For that heartbeat, I had lost myself to the fiction I had created. It was everything I wanted. Maybe I could try and get that normal back. Maybe if I understood, then I could feel okay more often.

Test

I was looking for some sort of shark. They sometimes bumped up against boats, testing to see if a boat could be food. I didn’t see a fin, and the only ripples were caused by the water hitting against Ferryman.

The king

connectedpapers

the basic rundown is: you use the search bar to enter a topic, scientific paper name or DOI. the website then offers you a list of papers on the topic, and you choose the one you're looking for/most relevant one. from here, it makes a tree diagram of related papers that are clustered based on topic relatability and colour-coded by time they were produced!

for example: here i search "human B12"

i go ahead and choose the first paper, meaning my graph will be based around it and start from the topics of "b12 levels" and "fraility syndrome"

here is the graph output! you can scroll through all the papers included on the left, and clicking on each one shows you it's position on the chart + will pull up details on the paper on the right hand column (title, authors, citations, abstract/summary and links where the paper can be found)
