So the first version of The Boy was for a writing contest. Turns out, said contest's council was a bunch of old white guys so it was a no go. Not to mention that everyone that I let read The Boy said it was written really well, but it read like erotica. This is the reprised version. I THOUGHT I did better on the erotica front, but I didn't. So this still reads as erotica, but there's no rape and no suicide. And everyone I let read the reprised version said that. Those aren't my words. N-t-way, hope you guys enjoy!!
