Liberty Hall flash challenge, 15 points!

I tried something new on Friday. I went to a site called Liberty Hall, a writer's website. They have a weekly Flash Challenge. You sign in and it shows you a trigger: a phrase, or a few words, to give you the idea for a story. Then a timer starts and you have 90 minutes to write a complete short story. I tried it out and I thought it went quite well. I didn't have time to go back over it, so it probably had some typos, but the story is decent enough. 1300 words total. I gave it a quick polish yesterday and sent it off, so that brings me up to 15 points! :)
