Summary
When Wylan was eight, he felt true fear for the first time, found in the form of six simple words spoken from his father.
“Your mother won’t be coming back.”
"What do you mean? Why not?" He had asked, ever so foolishly.
Father frowned down at him, not a hint of the usual softness to be found. "She's dead because of you. Maybe if you weren’t such a disappointment she would’ve had a reason to get better, but instead you’ve killed her.”
That day was the first time Wylan had been yelled at enough to properly cry, and the day he realised Father had lost all hope for him to read.
OR: Wylan gets kicked out early, and is befriended by a strange boy with a bad haircut who teaches him how to survive in the Barrel.
