Mort the Meek and the Monstrous Quest
Name: Lillie Age 10
03 February 2022;Genre: Funny Stories
I think it's really funny and weird because in Brutalia everybody except Mort and Weed are mean to one another. My favourite character is Punky because at the start she wasn't very nice and she wanted to be a rock crusher, but at the end she became friends with Mort and Weed.
