    Title: 5/5
    This is a nice, quaint title. It gives me comfy vibes.
    A note about the authorship: I'm sure you have your reasons for posting the story this way, but I think it would be better to move this story to TheLittleMermaid's account so she can take credit for her own work and expand her writing with new stories (if she wants).
    Cover: 2/5
    It looks like the image got cut off, so not all the title or author's name is visible, but I'd recommend playing with this a bit, anyway. Right now, it's really just text typed over a picture. The cursive font is fine, but the black blends in too much with the background, and the placement feels weird to me. I think experimenting with borders or frames to dress the image up would be a good idea, and as for the text, I think the title would go best either straight across the top or set within the space on the upper left-hand corner where there's open sky. As for your name, I think the lower left-hand corner, right over the cement, would be a good place for that. But those suggestions may be moot, depending on any changes to the image like borders or frames, so you'd have to fiddle with it to see what works. Canva has a bunch of tools that could help you make this look a little nicer. I think the background picture is good and probably appropriate for the title and content of the story, so it's just the extra details to work on.
