The story idea in itself was good. You'll hear criticism on your writing (even from me), but don't take it personal. Truth be told, the only reason I even write is to improve myself. If I don't get my mistakes pointed out to me (and trust me, it hurts me too), I don't know what to do to make myself better. So remember: if someone points out something wrong, that doesn't mean there wasn't something they liked. Most people's brains are fickle and only remember bad stuff anyways.
Now the part you might not like. The story, while it had a good concept, felt a little rushed. I always have to plan things out in my head for at least 15 minutes (unless I am truly inspired) before I'll even start. But that's me. Your brain works different. If there is a way to set up the caption that somehow gives the final result more story flow, use it. If your stories have flow, then people won't care if it's a stick figure for a picture.
Anywho, did I like it? Yes. Is there room to improve? Very yes. How can you improve? Make more. I personally can't help you in the "prevent image distortion" department, but I will do the best I can elsewhere.
Once again: Don't stop!

So very true, it's better to make a superlong caption then two with the same pic, and continuing. If you feel like it would be to long, turn it into a story with a pic or pics.

I find the most importent part about captioning something is you have to like the caption in the end. If you dislike it, then what's the chance any one eals will? For me, when I write something I don't want to it's not as good as something I like more. It's also good to read threw it a couple of time.
I know when people read mine they may not be able to tell, but the latter ones I've started reading threw mutiple times. I feel these latter ones have came out the best becaues of that.
As for the strech, it looks like you inlarged a image that was small. That's a no no. You can make big small, but not small big.
Also rember to always decress and incress the leght and width by the same amount. or ales it will also become distorded that way.
