Plot
Teenage Midget is abnormally small and can barely speak. He has fits as a result of the secret abuse he suffers at the hands of his psychopathic older brother Seb who is to outward appearances utterly devoted. Midget dreams of buying a boat and sailing away, but people say it'll take a miracle for that to happen. Midget knows miracles can happen, but sometimes they hurt people who get in the way.[1]
Reception
The Sunday Telegraph described Midget as "a masterly handling of suspense and cold, trickling horror."[2]

gollark: I can't see anything in the rules about that.

gollark: !propose Create a new rule called %rust:> Rust is to be considered the best programming language. Ferris is to be considered its mascot.
gollark: Oh, fun idea: you can interpret the rules in ANY language, as long as it existed, say, a year before the current quonauts.
