the boy who died, alive

This is a short poem entered in the Neo Twiny Jam, coming in at slightly less than 400 words.

It is a poem of consisting of short, staccato sentences of roughly equal size, some using text effects such as blur or cycling links. It covers brother who is not there, a brother who the parents refuse or are unable to see.

It has several possible interpretations, between loss, a change in self-identity, or something sinister.

There are few choices, if any, but the links there are help to guide your own pace through the poem and split it up in good spots, so the interactivity worked for me.
