Not Again
Dad
“It was an accident.”
Bobby Byington
How many times have I heard that?
It was an accident.
From the time I was a little kid.
It was an accident.
Dad didn’t mean to break my shoulder.
Hoke, yeah, he might have meant to shove me down the stairs.
Bobby Byington
But the stairs are carpeted, the floor is carpeted— what’s my problem anyway?
It was an accident.
So Mom left, and I dug a hole in the backyard, behind a giant oak tree.
I had to hide somewhere.
I found an old wooden door at a nearby junkyard and somehow carried it home.
Bobby Byington
I tossed it over our backyard fence, dragged it across the yard, and covered the hole with it.
I glued leaves and grass and broken branches on top of the door, so it looked like our weedy and overgrown backyard.
Nothing more.
So I now had my very own secret backyard room.
And since it was summertime and Dad didn’t report me missing, I was free.
Yeah.

We employ a team of editors who ensure that our technology has properly converted each book into its new Literal format. We are also a scrappy young startup looking to make sure that we spend our resources wisely. This means that in some cases we only edit and publish small portions of a book to begin with. This lets us save on costs and helps focus our efforts on completing only the books that paying customers actually want to read.
