"...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.
Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful commentary, Sharron! I kind of want to know more of his backstory, too. Maybe I’ll come back to these characters at some point.
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
On September 30th I’m going to create a thread where everyone can post the 50-word stories. Hopefully we’ll have a lot of participants - should be fun! It’s great to hear you’ve written one!
Down the line I’m thinking of creating these threads 2x monthly or a bit more frequently. We shall see! 😄
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!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Jason! 🙏
I've been the new kid a handful of times. There's nothing better than that first invitation to sit with someone.
I was never the new kid, but as a teacher there are countless instances like this one. If only all kids/teens were as kind as Miles!
Been there, Justin. BTW, Justin, how do we submit the 50-word stories? Got mine ready to go! :)
Thanks for reading, David.

Haha oh no, that wouldn’t be fun! Thanks, Andrea. I hope you have a great weekend, too!
