Damaged
After the cat puked all over the new library book about a library, Julie contemplated how she would return the book, so she wouldn't have to pay a fine. The book was already overdue. She used to sneak overdue books back into the library, but now it would be difficult to do. She'd be tewww.onedoor.ccmpted to steal someone else's library card, so she could check out books in another name, as her fines were more than she could pay.

Am I drowning?' Panic-stricken, she frantically tried to wriggle free standing upright. The reverberation she created in the water stuck with her long after she steadied herself. Constricted expression on her face must ...
Freddie & The Country Folk
Freddie was careful not to reveal his true identity. Sometimes, as he sat under the Grand Oak tree that marked the end of his father’s land and the start of the neighbor’s, he’d wonder why people treated him differently. He sensed he was different from the others in town and his parents, but never had reason to suspect his life would soon turn sideways and propelled into chaos. He had few reasons to think he was that different from the rest of the townspeople; he looked as similar to the others in town as he could, with the exception of his long, pointed nose and his hair had been gray from in...
