First Draft: Exile
« on: August 08, 2020, 11:47:34 PM »
Whew! I signed up late and didn't get started writing until Thursday, so this is a) very rough and b) very much over length and c) very late. But, it's done.

Now I can't wait to check out other folks' work.

This was great! I love how you wove in their past into the events, and I'm interested to see what you choose to cut!

Thanks! That's the tricky part.  :-\ However, it helps that I almost always over-write and can tighten things up a lot. So glad you enjoyed it!
