A Brief Rivalry is a fun short story that I did while Falling was with my editor. I submitted it in a themed short story contest put on by AutoCrit and crazy enough, it was one of ten winners! It does take place in the Falling world and has one cross-over character but it's a complete standalone and can be read before or after. 

After reading, see if you can guess what the contest theme was. Send me a message and I'll let you know, if you're right! 

A note: This is an unedited short with zero spice, and I do mean zero, but it's a cute read and a lovely introduction into my writing world.
