I came across the case of Sarah Boone and Jorge Torres Jr one day while scrolling through Tik Tok (of course) and it intrigued me. Sarah Boone put her boyfriend in a suitcase while they were supposedly playing hide and seek. She "forgot" he was in the suitcase and fell asleep causing him to suffocate. This is that story.

In todays story time episode, Kirsten watched the movie "1922" on Netflix and gives us an entire recap of the movie. If you haven't heard of it already, 1922 was originally a novella by Stephen King that was adapted into a movie. It is about a man named Wilfred who lives on a farm with his wife Arlett and their son Henry. Arlett doesn't like the farm life, though, so she wants to sell the land and move to a big city. But Wilfred isn't too happy with that idea so he comes up with a plan to get what he wants, but he needs his son help to do so.
