Trigger Warning: 2013 Oklahoma tornadoes, harm to children

And closing off my inadvertent Dark Day is this piece that some may think is in poor taste and offensive, but I personally think is an interesting way of the author dealing with the aftermath of a real-world tragedy. This is a short vignette of Pitch's reactions when he is drawn to the Oklahoma schools which were hit by a tornado earlier in 2013.

Regardless of whether you like or dislike this one, it will get a reaction out of you, and in the end, isn't that the point of art?
