Submitted to Contest #260

CW: This story contains implied pedophilia but nothing explicit is shown The kitchen lights are beginning to hurt my eyes from how long I’ve been staring at them, trying not to look my wife in the eyes. The fluorescent glow of the white-hot bulbs is searing itself into my retinas as she speaks. I’m trying not to look her in the eyes. I don’t want to see all of the anger inside of her.

L’art du SpectacleBy Blair Law In the kingdom of Jouteta, there once was a lovely prince. His skin was sculpted from mahogany and his hair was made of the finest strands of silk. His serious eyes glinted like precious stones set in his tiny face. But behind his face, his heart was rotten. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Now pay attention, dearest reader, for I will tell you his story. The boy was seven at the time that he discovered his love of puppets. Oh, the palace would have the most magnificent puppet shows just to entertain the ...
