I was going to give up on this piece. It’d been rejected 15 times by both literary and speculative fiction magazines. It just didn’t seem to belong in either, I guess. I was ready to either shelve it or put it through some major re-writes. But then, the final place I submitted it to not only accepted it, but made it the feature fiction piece of the issue. Sometimes, the right piece just needs the right home.
