This story is over 2300 words long. The curation team tries to get to all stories, and sometimes we don't because there are only a few of us and there are many stories. We ask authors to write pieces that are between 750 and 1000 words in length, with a maximum of 1500 words. Refer to the prompt post.

We appreciate your enthusiasm for writing, but simply do not have the resources to read stories of this length. Thank you.
