Ahhh, who doesn’t love a feel good Christmas story?! Great work, Daniel. The pleasant tale telling spice of Conrad detectable and enjoyed the gingerbread / gingerhead unlocking of the story’s heart. Winston delivering some serious Midjourney magic too. Dream team. 🤝

What a lovely Christmas story! I love that it centers around locks, keys, and especially the locksmith as an unlikely hero.

This is pretty different from your usual fare, but in a good way. Perfect for starting out the Christmas season.

Ah, just in time for the season. By the way, the Substack app now has a narration feature and I used it to "listen" to this story like an audiobook! Your story sounds like a fairytale 😍

Wonderful fairy tale. The addition of a narrator and questioning children really added to the overall warm and cosy feel. 🙂

This is a lovely good old fashioned Christmas story, Daniel and I can never have too many of them. Also, puts me in the mood for gingerbread cookies! 😁
