   Summary

   Before there were killer robots, possessed rabbits, arson attempts, and scooper failures, Michael was a mostly normal kid. He didn't have the best home life, but he was fine. Michael Afton was alive, much to his father's disappointment, and he was going to cause some problems.

   Prequel/sequel to "I'm... Back", but can be read as a stand-alone.
