This is a short story I had written for a weekly contest. The contest theme was Acceptance. Readers voted for the story that best exemplified the theme. I didn't win this one, but I think I should have. I could say more, but I will leave it at that. You be the judge.
I tried to make the story lighthearted, and I mixed fantasy and real science. In addition, I threw in a couple of religious allusions. If biblical scholars are paying attention, they might take a swipe at my story, but only if they are paying attention.
A self-challenge wherein I take a prompt found on the internet, and write whatever I am inspired to write. Expect to see a wide variety of genres - the only rules I've given myself is that what I write must be fictional, and it must, must, must be short.
