What a twist ending! My jaw dropped the way it hasn’t reading a book in a long time. What starts off as a really sweet story about childhood innocence persisting through hardship becomes a really terrifying story of someone who never properly grew up. Throw the great concept in with Joe Hill’s exceptional character writing and you have yourself a hell of a short story.
