1) Since his mom left Ben was going to take Richard to the waterpark so he went out to buy a suit. He looked at himself ant he saw how filth he was so he decided to buy something clean for himself. He didn't have enough to buy the clothes so he went to the bathroom and piled underwears on himself and stole them and left. He knew it was wrong but he needed to do it. He thought he could just hide it from his mother. Later Ben felt really bad and he took Richard to Sears and bought him everything he could possibly need. They went to the waterpark and they had so much fun and when they came back they were so exhausted. Before his mom came back home he went out for treats. He was was afraid of his mother coming home. "IT" used to be in cub scouts and Richard wished he was in it like his brother too. He went to buy actual clothes. His mom came home, and Scott said something and Richard replied with "Piss off," so Scott told his mom and she got so angry. Mom and Scott talked about the new house which made Richard sad. His mom found out about the clothes and the food he ate and yelled at him and threatened to kill him. Richard tried holding it all in. She made him throw all he had in the garbage. In the night he started hearing voices from the basement and it called out to Richard. He went in the basement and he looked at all the concrete walls and the memories that they contained. He started crying and eventually fell asleep. He had a weird feeling and he found out the feeling was of the little boy telling him to let go.
