In the middle of the sky, in the middle of a storm, Cherry Berry acts like everything is okay. It isn't.
Written for a Sofa and Quills Speedwriting contest, where it placed first! The prompts were 'pretending that everything's okay when it's not' and 'brace for impact.' Written in the span of an hour.
Entry in the 2020 Original Pairings contest.
Thanks to Lofty Withers (Great!), Moonshot, and RubyDubious from the Speedwriting Server for prereading.
Thanks to The Bricklayer for his thoughts, and thanks to my editor EverfreePony.
Great!

Indeed
This is a fantastic little story. You should be proud of this. But damn, the ending made me cringe, left me with a bitter taste. That's always a good sign!
What a brilliant sentence!
