““Okay, they were ogre children with little gray teeth, but they were kids! They didn't do anything, not really. Sure, when they played, they boiled their dolls then cut them into bite-sized pieces. But that was make-believe. Everybody says the moral of the story is that short guys can be cunning and brave. But I think the moral is that children pay for the sins of their parent. Ask anybody who hates to go home after school. Ask the girl whose mother is a drunk and a whore. Ask the boy whose dad is doing twenty-five to life.””
