Once upon a time, there was a boy no one wanted. At school, the golden sons of the kingdom taught him his place with fists and sexual assault. At home, a father with a voice like thunder carved shame and violence into his bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dylan learned that some children are not meant to grow into swans. People like him were the birds that got hunted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairytales promise transformation. But when a heart is starved of kindness long enough, it does not sprout wings.
It grows bullets.<\/p>\n\n\n

This was a short, definitely extreme little read. Poor Dylan has been abused by his father, his mother didn’t help, and he has to face bullies at school. No one seems to care about this poor kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day he finally has enough and takes matters into his own hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this book is short, it is an extreme horror, so it does come with quite a few trigger warnings. Please read with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
