Hi @fashtioluwa. Your story is interesting and nicely written. However, in The Ink Well, we discourage writers from sharing stories that are focused on religion and moral lessons.

Here are some places where you will find information on this:

• A note about religious doctrines in our community rules. (Rule #8.)
• The "Important Reminders" section of our monthly newsletter.
• The following reminder, which is placed directly below the rules in our fiction prompt posts:

As the reminder in our monthly newsletter states:

When we read stories, whether they are fictional or creative nonfiction stories, we do NOT read to be taught something. We do NOT read to find out what the author has to say about the story at the end. We do not read to learn lessons about kindness, thoughtfulness, God, politics, or anything else.

We read to be entertained, and to experience something outside of our own daily lives — just as we do when we watch a movie or a TV show. And, we want to draw our own conclusions at the end of the story.

For these reasons, we ask our community not to post highly religious-themed or moralistic stories in our community. Thank you.
