Ten years ago an innocuous boy went missing only for him to make an appearance when the world least expected it. His name was Andrew, and his arrival was met with shock. Time had lapsed since his mysterious departure and now back he realizes that the world has changed. However those who once knew him come to realize that the boy too has changed. The cheerful lad is now bathed in an unnatural silence. His movements refined, his presence as impeding as a light breeze and the silence, the mind numbing silence that clung to him seems to promise something more about him. Something far darker beneath the quietude.
