Dollar Store Fidgets

There's this thing that my mom keeps repeating to me. "I love my children equally. I will always treat you and Brielle the same."

After flipping the coat inside out, I notice a few strands of long, dry hair tightly entangled among the seams. I even smell a faint trace of mold mixed with a strong hint of rot that can't be covered up by the cheap fragrance on the coat.
