poison tree

what’s the worst thing you remember?

Julianna and her sister, Gwyn, didn’t have it easy growing up. Their mother, Enid, wasn’t always the most… present she could be. But Gwyn’s father, Cal, was always there to keep them company. Until he wasn’t. Meanwhile, Gwyn is finding herself in trouble, and it just keeps getting worse, as Julianna tries to deal with her past through the aid of EMDR therapy.

JULIANNA is a creature of constant vigilance.
GWYN’s reality has just been shattered.
ENID is never really “on the wagon,” tbh.
CAL is the sweetest guy you’ll ever meet.
HUNTER is a bro.
TOMMY’s like Hunter, if Hunter were sweeter or charming or funny.
THE STORYTELLER is anything you want them to be.
