Thanks for the link. That's a cool opening for a story., and very emotive with an authentic feel, even if I didn't already know you are a father of a young family, so you OUGHT to know the feelings of a father for his family. That theme is timeless, and Gladys is a unique twist. A friend of mine wrote a story, (by the way, a former Pentecostal minister, and a grandfather by now) that played off that same theme to great power. It was unforgettable: Arad the Champion. No irony in that story. He is a Bigfoot who won the rock lifring competition, now facing a bigger challenge than a heavy rock - in a harsher winter than anyone can ever remember experiencing, he's trying to feed and protect his wife and little boy.
Just a random, nosey question here-- if it's not a "trade secret". :)
Is that image AI generated, if so - by which program?
Yes, being prepared for unlikely things is more on my mind than ever since becoming a father. I almost went with the title "Priorities" for this story, but decided to go with a title that had the acronym HOA instead.

I generated this picture with Midjourney.
Cool! I have heard good things about Midjourney, and I think your picture backs up the rumors, lol.
