/lit/ - Literature

I submitted this recently to a magazine. It was a themed submission based on an illustration they provided, and the magazine will only publish you if you're under 25, so all in all it's not a style or theme I'm used to.

Anyway I feel like it ended up as a fairly trite tale about a coming of age that's probably been told already. But whatever it was written to be read - https://pastebin.com/haH9dAfz

Have it in better quality, OP
