Trappernicus Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Has anyone read this short story? If so what did you think about it?

It may not be as extreme as locking a kid and making them suffer for the ignorant happiness of everyone else, but it's happening in other ways Edited August 15, 2021 by SulisRayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
