Results are in from the first round and, wait for it, I … didn’t get a point. Which is fine, I still get to go head to head with other stories in at least two more rounds before I’m eliminated. More if I win. With how rushed I felt there at the end, I’m not surprised that I lost a round already. Still, the story was better than I gave it credit for on my reread today, so I’m proud to have it out there anyways.

Thank you for reading,
