    Summary

    Simon has a dead boy's notebook in his pocket and a live boy's attention on his back. He knows things Jack Merridew needs, and Jack Merridew knows he knows them, and that is enough for both of them.

    It is not enough for Simon. Nothing is. But he stays. This is not a story about a boy who didn't know better.

    "The Useful Boy" is an explicit, non-consensual Lord of the Flies reimagining from Simon's POV. No redemption.
