I'm always kinda surprised by prompts like this... as it's a novella length prompt, it seems like a lot.

I think of the plot as two parallel plots that the protagonists can’t let converge, otherwise the daughter dies.

Ok. But realistically how is it resolving in 100-1000 words?

So you want me to delete it?

It feels more of a plot than a prompt. You've set up a pretty complex prompt for it to be manageable within microfiction, and so it's just very hard to get any sort of engagement.

Prompts don't have to necessarily be simple, but you've setup the entire plot of a long short story, which makes it very hard for a writer to extend off that path. Just a heads up on future prompts.
