He came into our garden like a ghost
the blond boy with the raven on his shoulder
He was pretty like a star
and just as distant
an imaginary friend
vanishing before anyone else could see him.
But years later, he appears at my high school
He comes out of nowhere, just like before
This time he's older, taller, the raven gone
Is he real? Was it all true?
And if he vanishes again, how will I survive it?
* A standalone novel set in the Wild Men universe *
