In the story in my head, the two five year olds swapped their documents. Because having hung out with kids that age, i can picture it super clearly.

Are you sad that she's not?

Yeah, the second I saw the dog was dead as well, not just locked away from the bodies, I knew it was the dad. It’s fucked up, but that’s the way it usually goes.

only the ones who respond to criticism w/ “how do u no im a dude”

As a teacher, I read a lot of YA, so mostly women authors. I took a break from this and started reading some genre fiction recently to get some perspectives, and WHY DO I HAVE TO KNOW THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF EVERY WOMAN’S BOOBS?
