Here’s another short story I entered into a contest. This isn’t my best work but whatever I liked the premise so I’ll share it on here.

“If you actually succeed in creating a utopia, you’ve created a world without conflict, in which everything is perfect. And if there’s no conflict, there are no stories worth telling — or reading!”
