She was crawling for windows. Scavenging for leaves. She hadn’t fully realized she was even inside at all. He found her and thought she was pretty. He wasn’t afraid of her gift of flight. He placed his hand into barriers to redirect her into a glass he had found in…

Waiting for that viral story is operant conditioning — I wrote one story about my ADHD that made $51.00. I breezed through the writing process and probably wrote the entire thing in about an hour.
