Today, Madeleine brought home all of her writing work from school, including three composition books. One was a writing journal, one a poetry journal, and the other one was mostly filled with drawings that...umm... probably creeped the heck out of her teachers.
Some of the most disturbing include:
Whatever demonic nightmare this is supposed to be.
Flattened corpse head, angry ogre, and mentally unstable cat-eared girl (who is also growing a mummy out of her head)
Um, these terrifying faces.
The soul-searching spirit of malevolence about to devour an innocent girl.
Just a friendly, helper boy pushing an injured girl in a wheelchair up to the castle of doom. At least the other girl can walk, so I guess that's why she's going in first.
Oh, fun. A torture chamber.
And finally:
OMG. No.
Framing it as a "missing slave" suggests that she's telling the story from the slaveowner's perspective. Which is sort of intellectually interesting, but hopefully done without much sympathy for that perspective.
