So my first real short-story was due on a Thursday - a week or even more in advance, I began an idea (which should appear here later) - and then that Monday in Biology, I heard something fascinating.  So inspirational.  And I decided I had to write it.

There were some difficulties - I had two plot ideas, wanted to use them both, but wasn't sure how to tie them together.  I sort of think it worked; the end gives an idea of their constant lifestyle, anyway.  But I agree with many reactions in how I should have ended it really as it began.

(I do love my beginning, though, and so did my professor.  He applauded it as "cinematic, inventive, and bold."  I was just tired of everyone's wishy-washy openings.)

Oh, and I had no idea my title was already taken.  Was informed by a peer who had written "not an original title" on his copy.
