Telling nixed (again)

Joy Marchand, from Shimmer magazine, after Herculean efforts, has failed to get my story accepted. It is not often that an editor goes out on the limb for a story and I appreciate her efforts. I received back the story with extensive comments. I'll have to go through it line by line and maybe improve it a little. I saw recently, (I forget where) a pro market that might like it, but they wanted 4000 words. The story is 3,800, so maybe Joy's comments will result in another 200 words. Who knows?
I submitted this story to SH on the first draft at 1,800 words. I think I might change the title and send it back to them for reconsideration. I don't know how editors feel about getting a story back that they once rejected, although I doubt that they'd recognize this one.
