Your story definitely deserves far more attention than it has gotten. Although it feels "wrong" to us authors, a nice piece of cover art to show up in the thumbnail makes a difference here. If you aren't much of an artist yourself, there are lots of sites available with art licensed under creative commons, which can be used for stuff like this, although it is recommended to credit it here on Steemit even when license doesn't require it.
