"Charlotte's Web" is a story about a tiny and nearly invisible creature using the only skills she has to protect a friend and neighbor who's about to be butchered to make the farmer some money, and he returns the favor by caring for her children. Just in case you needed the reminder.

It really has been. Mixed horror, disgust, anger, and some tiny bit of relief that THESE fuckers at least may experience SOME consequences, if not anywhere near what they deserve.

Less than 48 hours after my workplace (a small clinic) put out the call for donations to the food bank, the neighborhood has risen to the need.

Look what just landed on my phone via the kindle app. 😀. Anymore I read a lot of cozy fantasy as opposed to grim dark fantasy. Our real world is too grim and dark. Need to escape it.
