All the POSSIBILITIES
This is a story told by Donny, a friend of Jeffty. Jeffty stayed as small as a five year old for all of his life. He was the mutant child for this story. I kind of thought of that movie that had a small kid in it, but he was really short for his age. I liked this story for this theme. He was an outcast of everyone, and Donny was his only friend. His parents didn't even like him. The mother at the end even killed him in the bathtub, because he was different. Children shouldn't be disliked for how they look or anything that is different. Jeffty never grew up, emotional wise. He has always acted like a five year old.
