Second installment
Today’s writing went a little long. This story is roughly 2,500 words, which is well above my usual goal of 1,000 words a day.
To be perfectly honest, the idea for this story was one that I’ve been kicking around. So it’s likely that the length of it is due to the fact that I had a certain narrative arc in mind.
Originally, I meant for this to be a children’s story. For some reason, though, every time I sit down to write something for kids, it always comes out way more gritty and often violent than I’d set out to make it. Not sure what that says about me.
Anyway, here’s today’s installment. I don’t have a title, but suggestions for one are appreciated.
