THE BOY THE MONSTERS MADE

Griffin thought the monsters only lived in his head. He was fine with that. In fact, it’s far more preferable than his father sitting him down to talk about the regular visits from the things that go bump in the night and hearing him say “yes son, I see them too.” The delicate fabric weaving Griffin’s sense of normalcy begins to unwind when his best friend, Jude, is called upon to do the work of a fractured relic: The Reapers.

“If you ever feel embarrassed, remember: You are smaller than a supernova, Quieter than a black hole, And less radiant than a flicker in a white dwarf’s eye. That is why it is okay to say to someone I love you, do you love me too? Because a million things already do not love you, And none of that matters. So, if the answer is no, Instead of collapsing in pain, Pile it on the heap of things that you love That do not love you back: Every beautiful landscape you have ever seen, All your material possessions, Including the phone beside you Your favorite book, movie, and actor, The food you are digesting. If the answer is yes, Tell this person now. Do not hesitate and think we can save this for later, After the smoke from the volcano leaves, After you are old enough to know better, After you lose twenty pounds. You will forget why you didn’t, And the collapse will be unavoidable, It will feel as big as the sky.”

I made little vignettes of my books since I have been enjoying making them for my Illumicrate reads! It sounds silly, but I really enjoyed hunting around my house for the little easter eggs to throw in. 

Hey y’all, a little one in my extended family was in an awful accident and help is needed to cover the medical costs. Even if you can’t donate anything, just sharing means the world ❤️

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to give a little update. Julian is in an alright condition, given all that he’s been through. He isn’t currently able to speak, but his mama knows his fighting spirit.

He’s going to be in the hospital for quite some time, but is expected to recover well with time being that he is young. His mother will be staying by his side and therefore out of work.

I don’t know any details surrounding the accident other than that the driver of the truck who hit him immediately stopped and called for help. I think right now, all of the energy is going to Julian.

I talked to my brother-in-law (Julian’s older brother) and the family has been extremely grateful for all of the prayers & well wishes. They read every single one of the messages tacked onto these donations and every dollar has made a world of difference.

Anyway thank you for reading if you made it this far. Please give your little ones a big squeeze and please please please drive carefully 💖
