Reply to Stop Killing Yourself Lucy by therealdocturner

Interesting that the mother seemed to expect Lucy to end up doing something, with the whole "I'm giving them a chance" line...I wonder if Lucy wasn't "slow," but more..."special."

Isn't FFI an example of what OP was wondering about? Or is it different because it's the gene responsible for causing it that's passed down, not the proteins themselves?

Desperation by Stephen King. I love most of his work and it's really not anything special comparatively but I just adore everything about it for some reason. The characters, the setting, the points of view, the antagonist, they just all hit some weird sweet spot for me lol.
