Grown: Part Four

But the evidence they’re gathering is more than circumstantial.

She’s fair skinned with bright hazel eyes, dressed in black pants and a modest knit sweater.

Korey was a loving, devoted, faithful husband. A brilliant songwriter and singer. A living legend and philanthropist.

These...disgusting allegations against him are inexcusable, especially when he is unable to defend himself. There are people trying to sully his good name when all he ever did was love his fans voraciously.

Plus, we need other victims to corroborate your claim that he abused you.

They think putting me in front of the camera, showing that I’m just a kid, will help produce some sympathy, garner understanding, and maybe even stop the death threats.

The very Gab they say is a figment of my imagination.

In the distance, green water spirals into waves, barreling toward me. I tread for a moment, then kick hard in their direction, before they’re too treacherous, and split them sideways.

From some angles, Grandma looks like Ursula from The Little Mermaid. A shock of short snow-white hair, skin a tint of purple, a round tummy, and a boisterous laugh, her tentacles everywhere at once, enough to wrangle me and the Littles.

The arresting simplicity draws me in by the collar. So many messages, so gripping, and so...spot on.

A weak hug, eyes somber and sunken.
