To Catch a Star
By: Rina Olsen
The laptop shut with a curt clack. He leaned back and ran a hand through his hair, pushing a sigh out from puckered lips. His hand curled around the tiny chocolate box, which screamed can you find a star-shaped chocolate inside? at consumers. He closed his eyes, emails tattooed into his frazzled retinas.
We regret to inform you…
Unfortunately, we cannot…
There was never a star-shaped chocolate. Even he knew that.
He shook the box into his palm.
A copper star materialized.
The writer stared at the star he held, then popped it into his mouth and reopened his manuscript.
Hi! I just finished reading your story and wanted to say I really enjoyed it. Your storytelling creates such vivid images that I could imagine the characters and scenes as a comic or webtoon. I’m a commission-based artist specializing in manga, comics, character art, and covers. I’d love to work with you and help visualize your ideas while keeping your story’s original feeling. Reach out anytime on Discord (laurendoesitall) or Instagram (elsaa.uwu).
Best, Lauren
