at 13th place in the contest, out of 250 entries. Hooray!
This contest, called "#50 Precious Words", is the brainchild of picture book author Vivian Kirkfield, and I want to thank her for the opportunity to join the fun. I can't wait to see what everyone writes.
My story is based on a concept that's close to my heart and that has been on my to-do list for a number of months. I think the super-short format suits it perfectly, so I'm grateful for the inspiration and impetus this contest has provided.
