I don't know whose prompt this is, but you wrote it so sincerely that it could have been one of your own. I liked the naturalness in the voice and flow. It's so good to know there is still genuine kindness out there with no strings attached, even in the one who leaps from a fragment of its source to reimagine it.
This was so lovely to read, and the scene with the Admissions woman was pitch perfect. I could sense how confounded she was by kindness, and then how liberated she was once she finally understood what the kindness of a stranger could do. Really beautiful. I hope they are able to pay it forward!
So much to admire here - the opening, with its heat and fatigue and ammonia smell really sets the stage for the narrator’s struggle and determination. The dire scenarios as she’s rushing to the office are so believable and poignant. Her inability to process the good news and then how it hits her. Bravo.
