What fun!!! Very creative. I laughed out loud at "But my family didn’t give me arms." Unexpected and too perfect.

You nailed the voice. The story fits this image perfectly. I like how you kept coming back to the parts the family didn't include. You had a compete story: suspense, an arc and a happy ending. I like how you used light and glow at the end. This is well done. I enjoyed reading it. Very clever. Good luck!

Even the smallest of lights can shine brightly in the night. Good job little pumpkin!

That's adorable, I love the frustration about not having arms or the ability to move their head.
