    Summary

    “All memories to tell you the truth aren’t good.
    But sometimes there were good times.
    Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep
    beside me and never dreamed afraid.

    There should be stars for great wars
    like ours. There ought to be awards
    and plenty of champagne for the survivors.”
    - Sandra Cisneros

    Or, it takes them decades.

    Summary

    They called the soldier into a training room where he saw his son hanging upside down on the ceiling.

    “Hi Papa!” He cheered, waving with a big smile even though the soldier never gave one back.

    “Look, Soldat, your son is a miracle,” an agent cackled, yellow teeth shining in the fluorescent lights, “crawling the walls like a little spider!”

    ***

    The soldier doesn’t remember his son’s birth or how he came to be. He doesn’t remember bedding a woman and watching her belly swell, but they said the boy was his. He does know that he will protect and teach the boy within the confines of their cell walls. Even when the handlers berate him. Even when the good guys take him away

    Summary

    Thanks to a nosy former foster brother, Tony knows what’s in written in his DCS file - Anthony Stark, aged 7, recent placements terminated in best interest of child in care, documented history of neglect, permanency plan undetermined, reunification plan pending case developments. Even better: parent A deceased, parent B incarcerated.

    Bouncing from home to home has been the defining factor of Tony’s life for the last four years. The future will undoubtedly be a cycle of lather, rinse, repeat, until the day he gets dumped on the street at 18, no longer anyone’s problem except his own. He’s long since accepted this reality.

    When his social worker drops him off at the doorstep of the Barnes-Rogers household, she seems to think this time will be different. Tony’s not convinced.

    Or: A boy is welcomed into the home of his new foster parents and their children. A boy learns to trust and love.
