Power of Secrets | AstraDaemon

Bret's kids are afraid to take out the trash. He dreams of them being hurt. Are these things connected? Can he protect his family?

TRACES OF YOU by Joshua Scribner is a flash fiction story centered on the desperation of a father to protect his two children. While I love this story, I hate the way the secret-keeper manipulates the children to do his will.

The author includes a great twist at the end, but this short should serve as a warning to parents: tell your children they can tell you anything without getting in trouble AND MEAN IT.

As always,
AstraDaemon
