Our Space

Even though it has been three weeks since New Year's Day, I cannot help but find myself inspired to write something about it after stumbling upon blog.reedsy.com. Reedsy is a website that allows writers to "Flex their creative muscles" (as written in their homepage) by using their weekly writing prompts to create short stories and then submitting them to their accompanying weekly contest (if you so wished). It is here that I found the prompt that read, "Write a story about two people who don't know each other but bump into one other on New Year's Eve (either once or every year)." In all honesty, I was not sure what to write at first. That was until I realized something. Coincidentally, I had a story idea for a future novel I am eager to write that aligned perfectly with this prompt. As such, I decided to make a short story from it whilst also planning to use the story as the prologue to my future novel. However, I might have gone a little overboard half-way through the story (I got carried away and had too much fun with it). As such, this short story stands at about 3500 words. Anyways, I present to you "Our Space" :)
