Despite the stress of the week, this short story has a deadline of midnight tonight, and I've got to cut the word count down by 33%.
Time to kill some darlings.

@esraye Wow 😮 I usually write too short stories for most admissions 😅 Good luck and success for you!

@karin_jacob Thanks! This story in particular is for a contest, and is thus limited to 2000 words. After it's submitted to the contest I intend to go back and actually expand it to about 5k for publishing submissions!
