This story was an enjoyable read that held my interest to the end. Nicely balanced, and original in its conception and delivery. The ending could have been a little stronger, as it felt like Anura took the news that she was going to be separated from her family and friends for at least a year, and spend that time in Hell... a little too easily, but overall, this was a hit for this reader!
Thank you for writing in The Ink Well, @kei2. We always look forward to reading your stories.
