What a lovely story, @jjmusa2004. Ella is torn between fully experiencing life and holding back, as a product of her father's over-protective attitude. We would have love a scene to play out between Ella and her father — either in person or on the phone — that displays the result of her growing frustration, as this is the central conflict of the story. Thank you for sharing your story in The Ink Well, and for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
Thank you for your kind words, I should do better next time. I'm grateful
