Thanks, friend. My stories are as much about the characters and their authenticity as anything.
Yeah, Gran is a victim of skewed religion for sure. I like how you see her... monsters are made more often than not. That book has been used for so much viciousness and hate by those damaged or brainwashed. At some point, though, people need to think for themselves. That would be harder in those times, where the bible was often the only book in a household. Maybe she was betrayed--it might make an interesting story, what happened to Moss's grandfather--but she created a monster her grandson lived with every day, this demon that never actually existed. Cruelty in the name of the Lord is against my idea of Christianity, and I would hazard a guess that she suffered daily as well.
I truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts and supporting this little story. Cheers! Please leave a story review if you can.
