friends i found a story i wrote when i was about 6 i think? it is a roller coaster of emotion, starting with a cat and a cow, then suddenly there is fire and people screaming. it finally seems to segue into an ad for new children's books.

SH is the only one that continues to publish my column. thank you for giving my words a place to stay. happy birthday💜
