Summary: He came to the city on the trail of the killers of his father, and for reasons that will be elucidated below, he didn't remain.
Notes: First, I dedicate this to
cofax7 belatedly for her birthday. I know you asked for "apocofic" but this is sort of like that, right? Second, to
raucousraven, any thanks I offer for the lightning beta on this thing will be too little. I mean, if someone comes up to you and says, "I have a 340KB story I need betaed and, oh, also, I need it
tomorrow" and you say "Okay" and then you actually
do it, you are either an inveterate masochist or a really wonderful human being. RR? Both, I suspect. Thank you for letting me exploit you. All I can offer is the correct spelling of your username (this once). Any errors that remain are my own.
Finally: This is the continuation of "Real Boys (A Chip Off the Old Blog)," the short piece originally posted under the "genre" challenge as a riff on Philip K. Dick's dystopia. I've posted the whole thing in its entirety here just for tidiness' sake.
