The Imaginary Friend, by Gwynne Garfinkle (Contemporary Prose, 2022)
Submitted by matsushima! Thank you, matsushima!
"It’s clearly been a long time since you’ve spared a thought for me. I should hate you."
Blurb: A fictive imaginary friend discovers the truth about his existence as his human grows up.
Why is it worth your time?: Told from the POV of an outsourced imaginary friend (headmate? tulpha?) who blinks in and out of existence only when their human (host?) remembers them and grapples (some) with what that means.
Plural Tags: fictioneers, imaginary friends, on purpose, abuse not mentioned, nonhumans [catperson]
Content Warnings: off-screen character death, and this is a story about an imaginary friend having to deal with being a created being with a tragic backstory.
Access Notes: Free and screenreadable online. Read it here! (Back-up link here.)
