The Pinking Shears short and a representation of how supportive Atticus was as a father and his misguided some people are. I was fascinated by pinking shears as a child. I don’t think they would make for a great haircut.

First story The Water Tank. Disturbing in the reality of the past and the impact of an unplanned pregnancy and for the insanity of not explaining the birds and the bees to children. The tension build-up and the evolving mindset are stunning in this short form. Haunting.
