This is Benjamin Sonnek's first professional sale--he got so excited about it that he accidentally woke his roommate. Ben is currently a junior in college where he has already won their coveted fiction writing award, has been published multiple times in their annual arts magazine and other publications, and has led a writers' group on campus. When not writing stuff (and polishing his own YA novels in preparation for any agents), he reads things, wears awesome hats, plays interesting computer games, wanders around muttering to himself, does Tae Kwon Do as a second degree black belt, prays, practices the piano, tries to keep his mind palace rooms from shuffling, and is basically the walking embodiment of that "I've Got A Dream" song from the movie Tangled. You can visit him online at benjaminsonnek.blogspot.com, and he thanks you for enjoying this piece.
