Oh wow! I must admit, as soon as the narrator started question Stuart's motives, I immediately went back to re-read the whole 'splash' scene and I just can't make up my mind... The phone and the jacket... stepping in front of the other boy... but he loves Donnie... This is absolutely awesome - super dark, but super awesome!

I like to think those two won’t have more children, but who knows what they might do next?

Thanks for reading!

I suspect he did it for his own selfish reasons, sick bastard. Thanks for reading!

I have a relative with a developmental disability. He’s an adult now and doing quite well. Very sweet actually, but his childhood was rough. I got to imagining what could happen with the wrong parent.
