@fantom22, we appreciate that you are dedicated to posting in The Ink Well, and you write great stories. Your writing skills have also improved really nicely, which is great to see! So please keep it up.

That said, this story cannot be posted to The Ink Well community. It is as if you read the community rules and used them as a list of items to include in your story. We don't accept stories about murder, gun violence, rape, brutality of women or abuse of animals. Your story has all of them! We also don't accept cross-posts.

Please read our article describing our stance on violence and brutality in fiction. It not only explains why we are so committed to keeping content in our community safe for all ages — and even those who have suffered abuse and trauma — but it also provides links to our long lists of story ideas that have nothing to do with brutality, violence, murder or abuse of animals. (There are 150 of them, providing an endless supply of ideas!)

Just avoid these topics. It shouldn’t be too hard to do. We hope you understand. Thank you.
