Yep, that’s a Medium-style story, all right. Since you’re new here and only just now clapped for one of my stories, I’ll do the good deed bit of saying welcome and confirming that the story you just told is exactly the kind of story people tell on Medium.

You can always make more of a point about meanings and messaging and so forth, but above all else, good storytelling is valued here.

I think yours had all the necessary elements including a bit of bone-chillingness. Ouch!

By the way, I help edit a Medium publication called Prism & Pen that’s all about LGBTQ storytelling. If you ever feel like telling stories about what it’s like to be you, I’m sure we would be glad to hear from you and help you find some readers.
