Summary
Sometimes, Tim isn’t sure he’s real.
Tim isn’t sure when he started altering his appearance. Maybe he always knew how to do it. Maybe he learned how watching his mother in front of the vanity in her room, blue silk dressing gown wrapped tightly around brittle bones as she peered critically at her reflection, widening her irises ever so slightly, narrowing the bridge of her nose.
A good transformation, she’d told him once, is not over exaggerated, or particularly striking. It must appear completely natural at all times, or the trick is ruined. The game is up.
Tim’s nose is a little crooked. He doesn’t remember how long it’s been that way.

Summary
Janet Drake was a storyteller.
She loved narrating different tales to Tim. Every night without fail, before little Tim went to bed, she would tell him a story. Tim loved hearing all of them, they took him to places he could never imagine. He loved every single story that spilled from his mom's lips.
Except for The Adventures of The Naughty Boy Who Had No Name.
Whenever Tim misbehaved, Janet would make him sit down on his knees, then she would sit in front of him, sometimes on a chair, sometimes on the floor, and she would tell him stories of a boy who was a bad child.
A boy who never listened to his parents. A boy who was arrogant and selfish. And in every story, the boy always ended up dead.
Tim was smart. He knew when the stories were about him.
Janet always loved visuals. She described in detailed length the many different ways the boy died. Gruesome, painful, disgusting ways.
Janet was an excellent storyteller. And Tim was afraid of those stories coming to life.
