This contest was a challenge for me given several major life changes I have gone through over the past several months and a total computer failure that trashed my first take at a story that looked nothing like this one. Still I wanted to get something in, it’s not my best work and the ending is rushed but I hope you enjoy it even if it’s not a winner.
