Groley

A 4-year-old boy drew this on paper that had already been through something. Stained. Crumpled. Marked up. He added to it anyway. The big round head. The orange legs. The eyes that don't blink. Aethara rendered Groley as a cinematic vintage toy custom animated character, standing on cracked ground with smoke behind him, grit in the air, like he came straight off that worn piece of paper and into a world just as rough. Four years old. The paper looked like that before he was done. We kept all of it.
