Beautiful story, Justin. I sure hope bookstores don't become a faint memory. Or, show up only in Virtual Reality "rooms".

The title alone captured the magic in this story. Well done!

Okay! Challenge accepted. I have mine almost done. Is the title part of the 50 words, or just the story?

The last line of this story gorgeous! I've already written a draft of my story for today's prompt.
