Ray Bradbury Challenge, Week 37.

Just finished this weeks Bradbury Challenge story, 1148 words.

It was an idea I had two weeks ago but didn’t really have an ending for so I didn’t do anything with it at the time. I didn’t even write the outline down. So this idea has survived in my head for two weeks, 14 sleeps.

So it must have been worth finally writing if I remembered it that long after writing so many new piece in the meantime, too.

Ending isn’t super great but not terrible either. I’m satisfied that it’s as good as I could come up with.

———–

It’s also worth noting I got an answer back from Third Flatiron Publishing, a polite rejection. Never mind.

And another submission!

2nd story submission out in as many days.
This time off to Third Flatiron Publishing.
I hope they like it.
