Author’s Notes:
This is for ’s Christmas contest. For fun, I used =tomjhyde ‘s Hasid and incense universe for this with his permission. I’m not sure how this managed to ooze out since I have been turned off in regards to writing stories.
This is the first story I have written since finishing Stephen King’s “On Writing”. I am trying to jam more description than usual and do a decent edit between draft 1 and 2.

Oh! This story should have 1,499 words.
