In the beginning, there was a Voice. It didn't seem to pay any attention to him, but it babbled to itself in the back of his mind, reciting

My son - the only flaw with cloning and asexual reproduction is that any flaws in the parent are reproduced perfectly in the child - my son - father - Vesca - Howell - Damn you father - I WILL remember -

things that made no sense in a hoarse whisper.

Eventually, when he was older, the voice shushed itself, only emerging to whisper advice and comfort, to snarl

Damn you father

vague threats and fury at Grandfather when he started to speak ill of

my son

the child's brother, or to laugh at Grandfather with furious hysteria.

Ask him about his son,

the Voice suggested once, when D wondered why it hated him so much.

Ask him and see what he admits to.

He never gets the opportunity to ask. If he looked at Grandfather when the voice was whispering, Grandfather reacted much as he did when the child asked about the

biology theorems

incomprehensible babble he woke up to sometimes.

Grandfather turned pale, lips thinning, and slapped the child.

For once, Grandfather and the Voice were in perfect agreement.

I won't let what happened to my son happen to you.
