   Summary

   Ever since Val was a child she knew she was…different.

   The rest of her family? They were content to fall in line; do exactly what the Pastor said Jesus would want them to do. But Val?

   Val wasn't.

   OR My take on a Val backstory where she's a lesbian and was raised by fundamentalist christians.
