"...living life through a single lens" A lot of people live life through a single lens, don't they - far too many. But this little sweetheart had an excuse. You made me want to know more of his backstory. I love stories of kindness and friendship. Thank you, Justin.

I love how you keep your stories lean. We don’t need to know the cause of the broken glasses. You are so good at using a tight focus on the emotional core of the story

I've been the new kid a handful of times. There's nothing better than that first invitation to sit with someone.

Been there, Justin. BTW, Justin, how do we submit the 50-word stories? Got mine ready to go! :)

Love this one, Justin. Our nine year old nephew has just gotten a pair of glasses and his mom is concerned that he will lose them the first day he brings them to school!!! Having them break in half is a new worry now!!! LOL. Happy weekend!
