    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

    He mused that maybe he wanted to die, that he wanted it all to be over. Elliot had never been the type to think like that; he had no reason to think like that. But being trapped here had changed him, as well as everyone else he was surrounded by.

     

    The more he contemplated the thought, the more feasible it sounded in his head. Maybe he did want to die, want it to all be over so he could get a proper rest for once in his life. He wanted to wake up and drive to his job, domestic and cheesy as it was. He didn't want to be alive here if it meant constant torture.
