This is the first piece I've created to be published. I wanted to find a different way to write a story that was unique but also was able to develop a storyline. After hours of searching for inspiration for how I could write the story I wanted to create, I found nothing. Then, one afternoon I was writing in my To-Do journal the things I needed to complete for school when the inspiration hit me. I started writing immediately before the idea could leave my mind and I ended up with a story that is different and very proud of.
