Thank you! I'm definitely happy that I'm part of the winners. It's been a long since I participated in this one, so I really didn't expect that my entry would make it. Geeee thanks again -v-!

Hi everyone ! This was one of those prompts where a story jumped fully-formed into my head. Then I had to beat it mercilessly until the thing met the character limit 😁

I should also say, that I always see the prompt and write the story, then go and look at what everyone else has created. It seems the fairest way to not be influenced by anyone else's good ideas !
