Why you should read the story:
“Fit To Be Tied” is not 5000 words about a dandelion in a war zone and you’re supposed to wonder if anyone’s going to step on the dandelion because it’s a symbol of man’s inhumanity to man.
Forget that.
“Fit To Be Tied” is a story about a five-year-old boy who trusts the wrong people. Our parents warn us about these people, but we’ve all been there. Further, we all care about little kids and dogs. There are real stakes here, friends.
What this story might remind you of:
Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz? She’s a little kid and she just wants to protect Toto and get home.
The first four minutes of a Law & Order episode. You love Law & Order.
