“I read your story and found it really interesting. I felt the need to show my interest in this story because such a great story should not just remain without being converted into a comic. Without a doubt, even without the comic, the story is really good, but if it gets converted into a comic, it will attract a lot more people. btw I am a comic artist my work is to turn stories to comics and also do charcter art, cover art would you mind to checking out my work here is mt discord harper_clark and IG _harperr_ and gmail harperclark743@gmail com fell free to reach me here okay bye thanks for this amazing story”Harper_clark on Remembering You · 2 weeks ago
