Hi Wendy, I love this story. I am a creative writing professor at Cal State La, and I would love to use this as a writing inspiration — since you use the language of social media/hash tag etc. as part of the narrative, my assignment would be to write a story using texting, twittering, facebooking or other types of language during the story. Students are after all pre-occupied with these other languages and they do love to bring them into their stories.

I am going to publish the exercises and prompts in a printed book on Amazon to give to the students. I would only be able to offer you a printed copy of the book as compensation, sorry!

Anyhow, if you are willing to let me use it, I would love to.

My email is simblack@aol.com

Thank you.
