Just read When Your Child Strays From God due to the glowing recommendations. Having spent my teenage years as a PK and being a parent now, there was a lot I empathized within the story. This is definitely a high water mark for the years short fiction. Thanks for recommending it.

I did not always. That’s why I started keeping track of the stories I liked so I’d have a better idea of what i should nominate at the end of the year.
