Thanks @jayna! I had a lot of help from @bex-dk and @negativer. This was much harder to do editing-wise than I expected but so much fun. Thank you for running this challenge!

I do love the challenge of crafting something complete and satisfying to read in 50 words. I’m so glad you had fun with it, @thinknzombie! By the way, be sure to add your story link to a comment on the post. That way other #fiftywords participants will see it.

Thank you! I totally forgot!

It was you. We just tweaked. And I also brainstormed. That DREAM method you found helped, I think. Mine is coming soon. I'm behind.
