“Yes. It would appear so.”

I gasped along with everyone else in the room as we all finally put together the pieces. It was him. It was him this whole time.
She stared straight into the gun as if she should had known all along.

Dropping the gun with a thud, he attacked her, wrapping one arm around her neck and the other around her mouth, muffling her blood-curling scream.
He continued to laugh maliciously as she convulsed violently in the chair.
He had managed to completely fool her. Fool everybody.

The director called his name as he walked back onstage to the loudest applause of the night.

He was my childhood. The one person who knew the beginning the best. The one person who has been there from day one.
He stood among the rest of the cast accepting the congratulations and admiration from the visitors.
And I noticed then what I should have seen before, my childhood is all grown up.
So to the boy who I see as my childhood…
thank you. I hope you are able to go do and go be everything you want. I hope you are able to forget all the pain and all the heartbreak of your life and become what you were meant to be. Thank you for letting me be apart of the beginning.
Go be amazing, Tom.
