I think this story makes the Sequel even more powerful. All this action and dialogue in this story, the setting up of all the characters, and the climactic crash. All followed by a simple short line that carries a ton of emotion in it. Nice!
You co-won my challenge! I’ve written a story to announce it, put the info on my profile, and I will make a comment announcing your co-win on the story of your co-winner, as she happened to use the ‘Participate’ button, contrary to directions (I didn’t hold it against her). Thanks for entering!
