This is lovely, @jasminearch! I can definitely imagine it’s longer-version potential. And I know what you mean about stories having a mind of their own, but I love it. (And I bet you actually do too!) Stories often tell us what they want to be, and take off in unexpected directions. That’s how you know you’ve got a live one, to use a fishing analogy. 😊
Well, in that case, Dry Spell is certainly a live one!
