    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Tim knows, he just knows, that Jason is about to ruin everything. Jason is going to tell Bruce about his parents, and Bruce is going to misunderstand, and then he’ll call CPS, and Tim is going to be trapped in a group home and nobody is going to adopt him because nobody wants to adopt a fifteen-year-old, and he’s going to get into drugs and die under a bridge before he’s eighteen, and it’s all because of one stupid broken arm.
