superabundance: shallowness

If the picture had a caption, it would be: 'All good things come to Will', Warren thinks. It's not that he hasn't struggled, but there's the girl by his side, his parents behind them. His smile says that Will knows he can knock out all the obstacles in his way, whether they're giant robots or not. And the picture's framed in gold.

Will isn't smiling now, as he shuffles a little, embarrassed that his parents have decided to hand the latest photograph around to show his friends, but he can't stop them. Warren catches Layla giving Will an encouraging smile, and realizes he's been holding the picture for too long. He saves face by muttering a dismissive, 'Cute', before handing it back to Will's mom. She replaces it on a shelf covered with similar, older snaps.

There are no family photos on display at Warren's house.

Fin.
