Every night, a giant pit sucked and slurped up everything... And every night, it slurped me up, too...
For one young child, nothing has been the same since losing their father. Words won’t fit together. Playing soccer is no longer fun. And every night brings the same terrible dream... a black, slurping pit that looks just like the period their father taught about as a grammar teacher. Periods mean something has ended, forever.
