Where you visiting from?

When times got tough for Tabitha she could always run to the Knock Knock club. This was different though. She couldn’t let her aunt know. She wasn’t ready to talk about what happened.

Fixing Broken Things

I’m not the only kid who ever thought about running away from home, you know. But I can bet that there aren’t many who thought about it as much as I did. I was stopped so many times, brought back to the start. They couldn’t hold me forever.
