That was ..... Intense. 

Emma E. Murray you have single handedly ripped my heart out, bitch slapped me with it, took a bite out of it as it was still beating, threw it on the ground and stomped on it until it resembled a 2D drawing on the sidewalk then picked it up and tossed in a wood chipper. 

And I loved every single letter you placed within that story. I turned each page with a "thank you, may I please have another". 

There was so little chill in this story, that I have given myself a massive headache from crying, and from the constant face of shock. 

That .... ER'MER'GERD ....THAT ..... I want to hug you, then shake you violently, then hug you again lol Thank you so much for allowing me to read your intense, heartbreaking, scary, soul crushing story. It hit so close to home on so many levels that I couldnt help but see parts of my childhood and family dynamic within the Campbell's ....but also knowing there are families like this, children who experience this, and so so so many people with the same intrusive thoughts because of these situations....its scary... and scarier still that there ARE people who DO act on those intrusive thoughts. The story is so real and so beautifully written and left me broken.
