20 claps. I am shocked by two things. 1) That was your first piece of fiction. 2) That you didn't win the challenge. I had just made fresh donuts and brewed a pot of fresh coffee to sit, read and write. The donut hung in the air, the coffee steamed, untouched. I was completely captivated. I mean I was IN that story!! Lisa, that was SO good! WoW!!!
