The Princess of Valencia by Susan Straight
4.0

All of the emotion regarding school shootings is perfectly dosed for this short story, and these types of stories 1000% percent need to be told. I feel like this type of story would have been better suited for a longer form instead of a short story just because I tend to enjoy spending more time with my characters in emotional situations. But again, the author absolutely did her best with getting the point across in the page count of this story, and the more we normalize sharing these types of stories the better.
