Summary: Once upon a time there was a little boy.

***

Once upon a time there was a little boy. He was the youngest of five children; four of them his mother never had. A precocious child, he was often seen with a smile – one that stood the testament of adolescence, only to be razed by the passing of time.

So, he bartered with the guise of experience, who had promised him happiness if he learned how to contain it. The little boy readily agreed, realising his mistake too late when it slipped through his fingers – leaving only sadness.

And Greg wondered if he would ever be able to smile again.
