The pages were bent, ripped, and covered in marker scribbles. These comics weren’t just reading material, they were his escape, his investment, a crucial part of who he was.

"Olivia," he began, his voice barely above a hiss, "Why?" He had to bite back the urge to yell.

She looked up at him, her face smudged with ink, a gap-toothed grin on her face. "I'm making a new story, Daddy!" David felt a tightness in his throat, making it difficult to breathe. He needed to get out of the house. He needed space.
