    I'm here judging for Keep the Music Short and Sweet.

    First off, I'm terribly sorry for how late this comment is.

    This story definitely ended up somewhere completely different from where I was thinking based on the song. Maybe because it's a pop song so I was imagining something more upbeat or happy, but I did like where you went with this. I thought having the letter bit at the beginning was interesting. I was a bit confused until I realized that it was a letter, and then things started to fall into place. Using the letter to include information about the characters was a really clever thing to do.

    One thing I wanted to mention that, I know this was a letter, but the language felt very casual and it made the story feel a bit lackluster for me. Because it felt like the narrator was sort of just chatting which made it a bit difficult for me to get really invested in the drabble.

    Overall though, I thought you did a good job with this!
