so i wanted to post this story, which started as a minific but grew to 7.2k words

it was based on a prompt i built from twitter (@clichefest)

but i remembered that i can't actually post here, as i've entered it into the fest (to be revealed on september 15th) per the rules

all i can say is that i had a couple friends and unofficial beta reader consume it in its entirety and it's worth the wait 😉

when i can share it with all of you, you'll be the first to know
