This was my entry for an online flash fiction competition (under 100 words). I am relatively new to creative writing (curating and editing non-fictional books for a profession), and I would love to develop my short story writing. As such, any feedback, discussion, advice, comments or criticisms would be greatly appreciated! – Thanks, Amelia.
