July 2085: if looks could kill

Gabby Roseland is 12. Lily Riley-Kim is 13.

Soundtrack: "If Looks Could Kill" by Heart


It was just an ordinary hot and hazy day in July. Gabby Roseland didn't think anything about wearing her green spotted flippers to the beach...



Until Lily walked by, croaking under her breath, "Ribbit, ribbit."

And there on Lakeside Beach, at that precise moment, 2:45 pm on July 2nd, 1985, a war just started.

And in other news, Benny dragged Charlie out of his apartment for some sunlight and exercise.

  1. Well done, Benny! Charlie needs that sunlight, I'm sure.

    Poor Gabby. Girls that age are so brutal. It seems silly looking back on it but it's devastating when you're going through it.

    1. Yeah, girls can be nasty. I'm trying to decide if Lily is just cruel or if she's reacting to what went down with Claude still. I want to think better of her, but I don't know, lol!
