An in-depth take on those old childhood dares that were common when I was a whippersnapper (my friends and I used to sneak into construction sites for housing in my neighborhood at night). I liked the description of the whispers intermixed with the wind.

I wonder how William came to be disfigured ("There were only a few of the elderly people in the town who have ever claimed to see this strange boy, but they (sic) all their stories coalesced") or if it was a genetic defect and what drove him to do what he did, but the word limit can be pretty restrictive (a problem I had towards the end).
