Pearls & Roses

February 14, 2020March 28, 2020 ~ H.S. Kylian ~ 2 Comments

(Character Descriptions)

Hartford, Connecticut, 1988 – Trembling, five-year-old Connor raced out of the darkened bathroom, leaving the faucet running. Desperate for any source of light, he ran without bothering to carefully spread his arms out in front of him to make sure he wouldn’t bump into a wall.
