Let's get back to Buckley, shall we?

It's time for some free fiction. Hooray! It's Valentine's Day in Buckley Township, Michigan. The year is 1945...and it's almost the end of the world.

In "Broken Paper Hearts," Alice Healy is getting ready for her school Valentine's Day party, complete with pink sugar cupcakes and paper hearts for everybody...and Fran, her beloved mother, has not come back from her latest trip into the woods.

It's the end of an era and the day we've all known was coming for a long time.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Knowing it was coming didn't make it easier. And yet I still read it, on the train and all, cause I wanted to and cause in a funny way I owe it to the Healys to share their bad times as well as the good.

We can tell you're a Disney girl by how things turn out for people's parents though, gosh :p

I made sure to have extra kleenex available and read where no one could see me.
