Tyler himself is struggling with family issues. He is also struggling with himself. He feels suffocated and like he can't escape. He needs to breathe. Josh is the air he needs:

Short story inspired by Goner by Twenty One Pilots

Tyler Joseph's soul is dying. Joshua Dun's is already long gone but his spirit lives on. It becomes tied to Tyler, a boy who moves into the house across the street from where Joshua and his family was murdered. Tyler begins to slip away but Joshua won't give up that easily. After a night with a ouija board, Tyler can finally see him. They quickly become best friends and spend every waking moment together. But Josh has some demons to fight. They're bigger, they're badder, and they're Tyler's. |-/ «© angelo»
