I'm counting this as a BR, but in the future there needs to be a bit more participation.

Hey Mythos, I'm so sorry, but I found the short story and put in all the words into a words-to-pages converter and this story only has like 23-31 pages. So it can't count for the challenge :(

Oh good to know. I just wasn't sure how to find the page count

No worries, it can be tricky! As a general rule of thumb, so you know, if something is a short story or a novella, it likely has less than 150 pages
