We read a different story by her in high school, but strangely that story came to me when I saw this. I guess you captured the writer's style essence in a visual. Anyway, it's a neat image.
Oh my gosh. I've read that story and this is just... this is so perfect for it. You totally nailed the mood while still using a rocking bright color palette - I mean that's something. I love this, it's brilliant.
