Fucking terrifying.

These are hardly the only impacts these books have had on me. Mortality, violence, fraught parental relationships, writing that makes me say "holy shit." All four (BC and GH count as one) have stuck with me for years, popping into my head without invitation. They live there now.

Bridge to Terabithia taught me that children die. The Giver revealed that adults can be the ones to kill them. Fifth Season showed me how even parents can ruthlessly murder their sons and daughters. Gildenhammer tapped me on the shoulder and whispered "Murder isn't the only way to be ruthless."

He gave me the referral for imaging, but I'm still mad.

"Fuck I feel dizzy...but if I pass out, then at least people would be able to see what I'm going through. There'd be proof then."
How mad is that?

Yeah it wasn't so bad. Though part of me was like damn, I thought I was hiding how trashed I was. Turns out nah.

He meant well. We were talking about my multitude of health issues and we went "are they stopping you sleeping? Because I can see it *waves at my face* all over you"

Also, they've got probably twenty years on me 🤣

It's big scary.
Goose doesn't get cute when there's a storm, he just gets a shorter fuse. His pat-tolerance decreases.

Poor Dandi. 😥

Gross.
Unfortunately, books with any literary value are on the decline.

Yeah. I am unhappy.

Not yet..
