Nicely written! People don't appear to understand the hidden dangers of vaping. It's made out to be the fashion drug of choice these days... Vaping culture is seen as being synonymous with the in-crowd, having the cool factor. But the devilish concoction of chemicals that combine to create the pleasantly scented and alluring aromas hide a killer under the surface. The sad thing is that children get swept up in the craze, and adults without conscience feed that addiction to popularity. Your story was nicely constructed. I would have loved to have seen more dialogue between the two girls and a little more unfolding of the story and scenes at school to feel more absorbed in their friendship and more affected by its dissolution. I think it would have provided more balance to the two halves of the story too, but it's not easy to achieve this level of development in 500 - 600 words. I always enjoy reading you, @restcity.
Thank you for writing in The Ink Well.
