I'm late to the party, lol. But I'm glad I found your story in the Ink Well highlights post. Enjoyed the flow of your story, truly packed to the brim with a powerful (and magical) punch at the end. It's just funny that the highlights post took an excerpt that was somewhat of a spoiler haha.
Btw, what's the Tagalog word for gallimaufry you mentioned in one of the comments?
@jazzhero I was searching for the word that would fit "samu't sari", that's how I stumbled upon the word gallimaufry.
So that was the word. I can't find it on Google Translate XD Thanks for answering my curiosity. Great job with the story!
I don't use google translate because it's a word-per-word translation at times. I choose words based on the definition and function in the sentence. 😊 Thanks again.
