The email arrived like a tiny, digital spear. "Congratulations! Your essay has been selected…". Amelia's first thought was, "Oh, for crying out loud." She already felt a headache blooming behind her eyes.

Amelia felt her shoulders slump as she read the words. Why did she even bother trying to be interesting?
