Don't worry about not meeting the challenge. It took me forever to get those drabbles right. :mrgreen:
I love the detail. I know you're not happy with it, but I love it. The whole idea of these short stories is to be simple and not go overboard with the words because, well, you can't. You fit the style perfectly.
I'm really glad you wrote this, and you made the challenge words work perfectly together.
