This is such a lovely story, well crafted, @treasuree. We find ourselves eager to see what Jamal will try next, and rooting for him every step of the way! I love that you draw the reader into the story, allowing us to experience his passion for toast as if we were right there with him. This has elevated the impact of your story! Good arc and resolution to the problem of burnt toast. Nicely done!
