Author’s Note: This short story was written for a quick writing exercise for my Reading, Writing and Criticism class. We were instructed to try different writing exercises and methods. For this one, the length of each sentence had to follow a pattern, starting with a one-word sentence, then two words, then four, eight, sixteen, and thirty two, then back down to sixteen, eight, four, and lastly one again, and continue following that pattern. At the time, I was planning and writing my short story Raindrops, so I had some fun with ideas from that for this exercise.
