I got 5 on it. Would be amazing for writer residencies.

But then what you owned would own you...and that’s a lot to own both in volume and in comparisons with its first owner. Sounds exhausting from the get-go. (But I lean toward introverted so another personality type would possibly thrive).

Oh, I should add, I love this piece. Thanks for writing it, @bailey richardson. Gave me loads to think about for what I think will be a very long time.
