@mmeyenejoseph, you are a wonderful writer, and we love your stories! However, in this case, it unfortunately violates our stance on violence. You read about this in the following places:
- Our community rules at the top of The Ink Well home page
- Our monthly newsletter for August - see the information at the top of post under Updates from The Ink Well
- Our weekly fiction prompt - See the "Reminders" in the guidelines section under the new prompt
- Our article explaining our stance on violence
We would love to curate this story, but to do so, we would require you to do some edits to change the part about Vinnie's mother being dragged and her father being stabbed or cut. We maintain these rules to ensure the content in The Ink Well is safe for all audiences. Thank you for understanding.
Okay, I'll make the edits, thank you.
Done! I've made the edits, you can check, @theinkwell.
