This was pretty compelling. Your opening paragraph was particularly strong, and I liked the way you revealed the exposition overtime and that Tommy didn't already understand why he was called an Omen. I can't articulate why other than the fact that they're both dark fantasy but it reminded me a bit of the novel Mordew.
Dude, I have no words, this is epic. I love all the sensory detail woven in seamlessly as the action moves the story forward....the tapestry....dude! So beyond good.
Tommy is an omen!!! I love the prophecy stuff, the inherent irony of the two-eyed boy being the ‘freak’ and how that all ties into the title. There was a musicality and repetition here I really enjoyed (:

Yooo that means so much! I appreciate you taking the time :) glad it resonated
The tapestry seems like the “written” history of the kingdom.
This story makes me think of dominant traits, in humans, animals, plants. The odd or infected can be the dominant. As in this story of yours.
Most definitely! I appreciate you taking the time to read :)

Epic vibes! The hidden history of the tapestry was such a cool conceit and I love how Tommy wraps it around himself at the end.
Thank you SO much GG 🧙🏽♂️ glad you liked the tapestry, pretty much what set this story on its path 👁️
