This is a gem of friendship in a short story --- and that's a REAL FRIEND that will go out at midnight to accommodate another! Well done!
A little hint: this is REALLY close to the line of fiction and nonfiction. The Ink Well generally judges fiction, so, keep that in mind. You could tell a non-fiction story equally well as a fiction, and this is GOOD, but bear in mind the need for fiction in this community.
Fiction is not acceptable in the community?
Fiction is the only thing acceptable in the community ... you are close to the line of non-fiction, though.
