Great story, @flashfiction! I really liked it. I read the article you linked to, because I wasn't sure if it was based on a true story or not. You did a fantastic job recreating what the little boy might have been thinking during his ordeal.

I have upvoted and resteemed this post as my daily post promotion for people whom I have previously curated. I found the link to this article on #thesteemengine. Keep up the great work!

Cheers!
