Paula and Mr. Meanie Pants

A friendly dinosaur and an evil mouse join Beverly, the daughter of funeral home owners, as she discovers growing up is not what she expected.

In this short story, the reader follows along with the main character’s life: from a young child living with her parents to a wandering adult trying to find her way. In a tale revolving around death and finding one’s purpose, the author flawlessly conveys a dark and realistic image of the innocent mindset of children and the daunting awareness that cultivates with age. Beverly grows up seeing and hearing death but never grasping its devastation until it becomes entangled with her own life. Taylor A., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing
