A Sea of Glass and Fire (Original Draft)

===========================

This is the old and un-revised version of the story. If you want to read my final draft that I polished up for publication, look for "A Sea of Glass and Fire (Final Draft)". The essence of the story is the same, but the buildup, payoff, and everything in between is much better in the final. You can, of course, read both and see a little into how I improve my work.
