This is a short story I started writing and never finished. It's not great, but there's a limited amount of correction I could do, and it's more obvious what's going to happen at the climax than I'm happy about. I hope you enjoy it anyway. This was the inspiration for my writing prompt in the SWOW contest. I wrote this last year, in fact, for a school assignment. We were meant to be writing short stories. I was absolutely showing off, despite not having properly finished. As I commented at the time, I don’t think I fully understand what ‘/short/ story’ means.
