Homage Productions, ah yes...a wonderful tribute Shaina, to the genius that was the Twilight Zone! And this particular episode is ironic in it's timing, with choices that are imminent with my family. Gives me some perspective of the ghastly vs the real!
I was a caregiver for my grandmother for 11 years, and the last few months she spent in a nursing home. It was “lovely”, but I have had a horror of the places ever since. Your story touches on the shadow side of caregiving, the side that can never be admitted even to oneself. Powerful!
Oof. I’m glad I didn’t read this while my mother-in-law was still alive (and very thankful she never said “Lovely”). Excellently done, especially that last line!
"For all Shawndra knew, the place was only open for visitors when the sleepy meds were switched out for some feel good drugs to convince children to drop their parents off there without a second thought" oh it was so poignant, but horrific at the same time. 💔
Lovely

I'll take more, if you please!
When she touches Dalia's hand in the end...shivers! So good!
I really loved the details and specificity to make this feel real. Big feels.
Whoa. Lots of zesty layers of horror in this one. And perhaps a very profitable business plan.

This was AMAZING. Perfect. I loved it.
This is empathetic, thought-provoking and chilling - amazingly written!

Definitely in the spirit of the twilight zone.
Well Done Shaina!
