[ Christine, Virginia, Tony | PG13 | 1/1 ]
This story remembers that fairy tales are often dark, and the people imperfect. This story is creepy, and deeply disturbing: Christine slowly looses control, and slips over the edge.
- It’s subtle at first—one doesn’t reach precipices like this without a journey of some sort, even if the quest is just another late-night run to the All-In-One Mart—and Christine can at first ignore it.
(But she is so unhappy, and deeply sickened by her child, as one possessed. The bitterness leaks out a little more every day.)
