Good descriptions, but I might be missing what’s so shocking about Time Square?

or, as it’s more commonly known… Times Square? Or a different place? Also didn’t quite get it…

There is nothing shocking about it. The point is, these kids come from such a small town and are wrapped up in their own little world that when they finally get to a huge place, a huge city it hits them that there is so much more out there than they thought. And I had to take a lot out. Maybe I should have just continued with a sequel to make the meaning more clear.

And yeah, Time_s_ Square. It was a typo.

Well I’m from a small town, so I got it! Times Square would shock us as highschoolers who think we are big. :)

Great story. Being a ruralite, I got it immediately.

Thanks for entering, and congratulations!

congrats on the win!
