Summary
“They gave up on her.” The man says vehemently. “I won’t.”
This catches Bill’s attention at least. That sentiment is all too familiar to him; his parents seem to have given up on everything, not just Georgie. They have no hope of getting him back anymore, and all his mother ever does is sleep and cry. He’s certain they forgot today was his birthday, and he’s fairly sure they didn’t even notice him leaving the house.
He decides ultimately, with the sound logic of a freshly turned seventeen year old, that if this man wanted to kill him he would probably have tried to do it already. It may be worth finding a kindred spirit in him if nothing else.
***
Bill makes an error in judgement. It costs him everything.
