[stylist] Bewildering stories

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Shawn,
I'm so sorry to hear about your rejection. 
It might be less to do with there being anything "wrong" with the story and more to do with a high traffic of submissions. When I was younger I tried to submit to a kid's magazine called Stone Soup. My rejection letter basically explained that they were very sorry and they get lots of rejections.
