Wow , great sort, what a dreadful power to have your anger come alive unwillingly and without control , that’s pure horror!!! Great writing, your imagination is boundless !!

You absolutely nailed this one. The smell of the cast coming off, that seemingly indelible feeling of regret after lashing out; wow. Haunting. This will stick with me for a while. Maybe there’s an after school special here 😉

Oh, poor Parker! And Caleb, of course. But to have your anger strike out like that, out of your control, and to live with it afterward…well, it happens, doesn’t it? Great story!
