A.N. — Back to one book characters who actually merit a spot on the site's character list. This poor boy was traumatized in a certain seaside cave. His companion will get her tale told tomorrow. Also, the list of non-tagged characters can now be found at the end of the first chapter.
88. Dennis Bishop
Life in an orphanage matured children quickly, lest the system chew them up. Living in an austere environment like Wool's made the process grimmer. Introducing an unstable boy like Tom Riddle to the equation didn't help matters.
It all added up to Dennis Bishop keeping his head down and just trying to survive until he aged out. Dennis could dodge Mrs. Cole this way, but Riddle was persistent. He sought to destroy the happiness of others. What better time to do so than their beach trip?
Dennis didn't know why he'd dropped his guard; soon, he knew nothing at all.
