YoCP Episode 15: My Second Home

We arrive at the welcoming gates of Evergreen, before I realize that we're arriving just at dinner time, and I haven't eaten all day. I can't bring him to the Longhall, can I? Well, shit, he's probably gonna want to see all of it anyway. And from the Longhall they'd all see us through the glass pane end wall anyway. Better just go through the proper channels.

"So, this is it." I start telling: "My second home. Not counting the orphanage-"

"OR the packed gym hall!" Zeldine buds in.

"...or that, yeah. Just, uhh, from here on in, have an open mind, okay? We're starting with the Longhall, cause I'm starving!"

We open the doors to the dining hall segment of the Longhall and step into a filled room with children of all colors and a swarm of creatures usually reserved for television or old fairy tales. I hope to any and all Gods listening that my brother was somehow taught tolerance and acceptance by our parents who threw me aside for being 'different' - or at least kept his childhood sense of wonder.
