Lots of elements in this one that made it work and travel in unexpected directions. I love the notion that they look like characters in a story she read but is not at liberty to share. :). I also appreciate the description of a face shaped for holding a Virginia Slim! Great work. Hopefully I can participate in the next one of these prompts, it is a fantastic idea and structure.

Great opening to something I look forward to reading more of.

I’ve never heard of any of those songs due to being uncool.

Honest to Pete, you should check them out. Not only will you be instantly cool, they’re just a darned good listen.

I love this Gray! Definitely interested in the rest of the trip's story...

As soon as I can share all three stops, I will. Just waiting on my rejection letter…

Well in that case, maybe I can wait a while 😉
