This story and the way it builds off the source prompt (which was engaging in its own right) is a great tribute to this contest, where creativity begets creativity. That look of relief that flashes across Imani’s face as she’s obliterated, and the implications of that... wow! And the Creator’s reaction to that felt very much in character with the way you’d described him to that point. Props on a great story and congrats on the well-deserved Curie upvote!
