Looks like a real story. Nicely narrated.
I see you wrote a poem for yours. Always good to have another poet participating in FSF.
This is brilliant - the gold star, the free train ride - enviable things to a child... but throw a bit of context in... horrifying.
Thank you so much for you comments and compliments!
Context is everything in this story.
Thanks! I wanted to come up with an idea where the main character was envious of someone else not knowing that she was really the fortunate one.
This is the most unique comment I've ever received! Thank you!
Seeing very familiar events through new eyes - in this case a child's - dusts them off and makes them powerful again.
I felt so sad for both Sarah and Tabitha in this story.
Thank you! Sadly, the world seems to provide far too many opportunities to write stories like this.
