Through “Stillwater,” Annie offers a raw articulation of embodied consciousness, especially female desire as something neither redeeming nor corrupting, but elemental. She invites readers into the uneasy space where pleasure, shame, power, and depletion coexist. The piece may resonate deeply with those who recognize hunger not as a flaw to be corrected, but as a force that shapes identity, art, and myth alike. It doesn’t promise stillness as peace. It shows what happens when stillness finally breaks.

Absolutely phenomenal as always, I was sucked in at the beginning to the end, all the metaphors swirl in your head and stay with you. Relatable. I loved it so.

Great visual visceral outpouring. SoC is such a fascinating trip; everyone's mind so different. this feels very personal, very "you" but that could just be the entity you already created in my mind with the backdrop of all of your work I already read!

what to think! smiling that you write this and just after some cunning space drama! huge admiration.

If we ever meet, I want you to carve your name into my arm instead of an autograph. I promise never to bandage it if you do.

Stream of consciousness writing that includes a stream. I like that. Lots of striking imagery in this piece, as well.
