Now that Chellen is in Bree's apartment they have only to wait for her mom to get home. Chellen is still apprehensive about Bree's strange request, to confront her mother and beat her up. Never the less she will remain in the cramped apartment for a least a little while longer, despite her own reservations. While they wait, Bree shows Chellen her vast collection of things she's scavenged from school.

Distinct Poplar is a twice monthly young adult (YA) short story series of dark fantasy and storybook horror, written and narrated by Matt Herzberg. Distinct Poplar takes place in a sprawling city, where the supernatural and fantastic things are common place. This vast metropolis looks and feels like a fairy tale kingdom come to life and thrust unceremoniously into the modern era. Here, people practically live on top of one another, covered in the grime and warships of everyday city living, and always keeping an eye out for the dark and sinister things awaiting just around the corner. Here you will find six legged rat creatures, neighborhood swallowing storms, and cats who stalk children...hungry for their laughter.
