In a world much like our own, the innocence of children's games turns into something far more dangerous than it should have. Willow, a troubled seventeen-year-old, finds himself again and again forced to make decisions that crumble his worldview. Or they do the opposite and start to give a reason to live in a world that has been so unkind to him. Willow, haunted by death, he starts to see himself as nothing but a survivor who should have died in the place of somebody else; the outside world offers him no support and instead condemns him for actions that he hasn’t even committed. Slowly, though, Willow starts to find the meaning of life; once alone in his past, now he surrounds himself with people who give Willow what he once so desperately desired. Along Willow's journey, he meets setbacks, but ultimately, he still ends up happy. But happiness doesn’t last forever. By the end of Willow's story, everything he once built for is lost forever. The memories, the friends, the bonds, all lost to the tales of time. But endings always spark new stories, and those new stories will still carry on Willow regardless of whether he is there or not.
