The Race is On!

I had a 220-day streak. I had a pterodactyl. His name was Steve. But last night, somewhere among the fifty fifteen tabs working on the website and the fifteen fifty Tom Hiddleston pics/gifs/videos and the other stuff I’ll get to sometime, I lost track of the 750words tab and forgot about it. I broke my
