HI @storygoddess. You have posted this story for the creative nonfiction prompt, and have used the #creativenonfiction tag. However, this does not appear to be a nonfiction story.
Creative nonfiction stories should be your stories about your own life and experiences.
The difference between fiction and nonfiction are confusing for some people. That's why we provide a description of creative nonfiction in this article which appears at the top of every creative nonfiction prompt.
Oh, thank you very much for the corrections.
