Hello my friend, @itsostylish,
This came to me while I was driving home one day. You know how, when the mind wanders it goes to different corners of the imagination? All of the suggestions you mention are in there--including punishment for questioning, for standing apart from the crowd--but these are long-term concerns of mine, so I guess they just came out in the story.
Thank you very much for reading, and for your generous estimation of its quality. I hope you are having a peaceful Thursday. End of Thanksgiving here--quiet, but still busy. A new oven that would not heat properly😅
So sorry about your oven😢😢😢
My estimation isn’t generous it’s, simply, true 😍😍😘😘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗
