This is giving me boned-deboned vibes.

Foster care handed Charlie over to a sociopath. Now he's neck-deep in a criminal operation he never chose. Worse: Slender Man is tracking him and there's nowhere left to hide.

We don’t live in postcards, and neither do the stories that we tell. Show the roughness, the contradictions, the places polite society skips over. Because when you reveal the grit, the beauty that survives feels even more extraordinary.
