Wrongfully Accused Villains Association

“Yeah, you know the one, the wolf, the one I’m talking about. He “allegedly” ate the three little pigs. He claims to be “innocent.” Joe attempted to make air quotes. “I’ve seen all his books. But he’s a mastermind, I tell ya. He’s the one behind it all.”

Carridelle – Chapter Six

It never occurred to Carrie to wonder why so many things had been left untouched by time; why there were so many things that had survived over one-hundred and fifty years; why some things should have been packed away and yet were left out, and alone.

But when I looked at the painting, I realized that my father’s eyes were guarded as if even the painting was holding secrets that it would never tell. My mother’s eyes were tired and wary like she was afraid of being hurt.
