    That was awful. All about woman hating and torture with no point. There’s adventure tales, and then there’s just plain old sick tales. That was a sick one.

    It wasn’t sick!!! I am a perfectly normal, sane, rational writer, and also a woman. (BTW, the word for “woman hating” is misogyny). Well, all sarcasm aside, I like to think my story had a point. It’s about breaking free from abusive family cycles.

    We’re with Abby on this one, obviously.

    In fact, I thought the story had an uplifting ending — which is a bit unusual for us. ;)

    Yes, I loved this story!
    The story was so sad, the situation the boy was in was so tough and I honestly did not expect the story to work out so well in the end! And that made the story extra special. The boy was so honest and sweet and I expected him to follow in his father’s footsteps, which would be the most ‘logical’ step for the boy and also, it would be usual for Well Told Tales…
    WTT, thanks for this unusual story and thank you, Abby, for writing such a beautiful piece!

    Why is everything sped up? It’s like I’m listening to Clonepod…

    Hi Scatterbrain,

    I’m not hearing what you’re hearing. What browser are you using?

    Is anyone else having the same problem?

    Thanks,
    Finn

    I shared an office with Abby for almost a year, so I can vouch for her also being a woman ;-) Awesome story Abby, great to animate to!
