Here Lies Linc review by AYay_RPEMS
Profile Picture

Linc was named after his father. His father was dead. His mother researched and worked on graveyards. Linc used to follow her around. He kept a little book of funny or interesting thing people would put on their headstones. He always wondered why his father had nothing good on his headstone. He felt that it wasnt fair that his father only had his name and his years he had been alive on his stone. Then, Linc starts at a new school and everyone there thinks he is a loser. And, without realizing it, his mother is the guide for his school field trip to a graveyard.
