The Incredible Shrinking Story II

Once upon a time I proudly blogged that I had cut 67 words from a story before submitting. "Stranded" is now down to 1,381 words, a new editing record for me. Of course, the numbers could mean there was more fat on this story to begin with...

I always aim for a story you can read and "get" right away. I'm now confident this one will land somewhere, but I've been wrong before.
