A weird, dark shota ghost story. Huh.

Good luck in the Summer Writing Contest.
I've never seen anything like this before, that's for sure.

hank you. I wanted it to be longer but I shortened it for the contest. I do plan on going back to it, making it long. More novel like. There was a lot more I wanted to do with the characters but, some stuff had to be cut out.

You know what's hard? Determining correct word count. I don't have the kind of time to be individually counting every single word on these, so I use a word count tool. Recently found out, even the damn tool isn't always right, so I added a second. Then just to be sure, I use a third, and all three say that you are over the word limit by either 9 or 40 words, and that needs to be corrected. Not sure how the discrepancy is so large, but I trust that when all three of them agree that something is up.

Really? The word document I wrote with says its 1500 exactly.

Ok I went through it personally and added another word count tool, and it looks like you're fine. I don't know why these tools are screwing with me. Either way, pretty good story.

Well I trimmed off about 30 words so here's hoping.
