They are the same, in a sense. When she grows up, Leah will become like Mrs. Boyd, unless Leah herself or someone else changes that path. When Mrs. Boyd was a little girl, she was very much like Leah. They're two people inhabiting the same roll in their society.
Thanks for restacking, @Travis Knight. It’s appreciated.
love it...the cruelty of kids knows no bounds!
Thanks Nick! And thanks for reading.
It's terrifying what kids can enjoy when it's considered socially acceptable.
Intriguing story. I almost had the sense that they were the same person at the end there.
Thank you!

Dark, dark, and absolutely grim. Poor Leah, and poor Mrs. Boyd. This is a quick dunk in the depths or human cruelty.
True. Not the kind of place you want to spend a lot of time in.
I've seen communities sacrifice a few people in this way to prevent upheaval and keep the majority happy. It's never a sign of a healthy group.
Thank you so very much for reading and restacking.
