Donations have dried up due to a severe inflation of prices on food that kibble has become a luxury. Despite shortages, the scourge of puppy mills continue to exist. The desperation of the shelter owner to feed the animals under her care is keenly felt, and this story broke my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Ruth Anna Evans consistently writes emotionally impactful horror that pull at my heartstrings. At this point I will gladly read anything that she chooses to publish, she has become one of my favorite authors writing some of the highest quality indie horror on the market. She fearlessly covers topics grounded in reality, with believable scenarios that hold up a mirror to humanity.<\/p>\n<h4>Quote<\/h4>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was the cry of a heart completely broken.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h4>Content Warnings<\/h4>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Animal Abuse, Animal Death, Animal Starvation, Child Abandonment, Child Abuse, Dismemberment, Death, Domestic Abuse, Murder, Suicide, Puppy Mill, Violence <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About Ruth Anna Evans<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_ruthannaevans.png?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft ubb-about-author-photo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_ruthannaevans.png?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_ruthannaevans.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_ruthannaevans.png?resize=120%2C120&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ruth Anna Evans is a writer of short horror fiction who lives in the heart of all that is sinister: the American Midwest.
