Shaina, this is painful and not just physically. I can only think it was painful to write. To feel this victim desperately trying use any way to avoid attracting his tormentor makes you hold your breath, only to experience what seemed like the actual intent by Billy to murder his brother. This was literally terrifying! And could easily be true. Thanks for writing it.

Oh wow, that bath scene made me cringe. Thinking about how much even a minor burn hurts, I can only imagine how bad something like that would be.
Poor kid...
I’m very interested in seeing where this goes. You’ve introduced a vivid, compelling first chapter!
Thank you for reading it!
