Like most stories on the webstory app, it's not the worst story I have ever read, but don't expect it to be the quality of Herman Melville or John Steinbeck. Treat it as a fan fiction and you'll have a good time.

When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing. John Steinbeck, East of Eden
