The contest guidelines were simple enough. Write a story in 10 words. I like writing small forms, but oh, how challenging this one was!

However, I’m definitely glad I tried because my 10 words about pillows (I really can’t say more about it because it’s only 10 words, and I’d love it if you took a read), was selected for the shortlist out of 121 entries.
