When my brother first showed me the subject matter for this contest, I thought, "what a difficult contest!" I had a similar idea about a child dreaming but you took it to a level that evoked emotion. I felt sadness but relief for Lily. It also made me feel young for a minute like I was 12 again. I like how we are reminded that life can be fickle sometimes. I got goosebumps near the end because I almost knew what was coming. I think you did a fantastic job with this one! Kudos.
