This episode is a little different than our standard fare. Each story tonight is from earlier in this season. These are the drafts we originally published; next week, for the Finale, we will share the polished versions of these pieces. Enjoy!

Be sure to follow us on Instagram (if that's your sort of thing). Please do send us an email with your story if you write along, which we hope you will do.
