Author’s Note: In March 2020, I submitted this story for publishing in Swinburne University’s Other Terrain Journal. After some delays due to COVID, one of their editors got back to me and said they’d be happy to publish it. Below is the story as originally submitted for both my LIT20001 Reading, Writing and Criticism assignment and to Other Terrain Journal, as well as a version with reflective commentary that I also had to submit for my LIT20001 Reading, Writing and Criticism assignment.
