I hope it does get published, it’s a gooder!

An absolutely fair correction!  If it is published I will make the edit. Thank you :)

I love this story! I have one caveat:

“The electrical grid at my parents’ house can only be described as “schizophrenic”.”

Very good! And hope you are getting better sleep these days :)

Class sizes hovered around 80, and it wasn’t unusual to invite half the class to parties. This was especially true for kids who lived on the outskirts of town or out in the…

Pardon the repeat from last year, it’s my only weird experience.

I have some STRONG OPINIONS about titles. I’ve been reading this from the beginning. Back in the beginning, Anna North or Dodai Stewart or Erin Gloria Ryan or whomstever (all excellent hosts of these spooky proceedings) would read through the comments and GIVE stories shared in the comments a title. Their titles were…
