Normally I’m quite good about these things, but this was too much.
E.g. the picture of the burning house is a McMansion, but the author indicates they live in the Uk. The passport is clearly set on fire, etc. But I could justify these as ‘well, obviously there is nothing left, so the author just took a random picture of a burning passport’.
It activates the “I was just assaulted” empathy regions of my brain. Seeing that it was fake was like, oh, not assaulted, just lying for literary effect. Okay.
Like everyone else, I’m glad they’re ok, and didn’t have to suffer through this.
