Okay, officially, and I realize I’m overstepping my authority here but whatever, officially, officially wins for cutest and sweetest entry.

Wow! What a sweet story. well told, held my attention throughout

Loved, loved, loved (did I mention loved yet?) this piece. I concur with THX , and crown you winner. This was your best line:

_The bandages that stretch tightly around my head are holding in the darkness of a lifetime. _

wait… i’m sorry (i know i’m an idiot) but why were there bandages in the first place? once again, i apologize for asking such a dumb question!

still love the story (regardless of the whole me not understanding thing which really doesn’t take away from the full effect)! so sweet!
