  Summary

  Michael Afton was constantly in an inner turmoil with himself. His father depended on him, and Michael wanted to make him proud. He has his doubts about Father, though, when all he does is hurt him. Meanwhile, he protects his siblings from their father's wrath, but at what cost? When he's always five seconds away from lashing out at them, he can only blame himself for mirroring his Father.

  Can he still have a happy life with his siblings, or will he tear it all apart? Will Michael be able to keep himself sane when he fears the person he respects so much? As time goes on, its difficult to say...

  Just some tidbits about Afton family pre-bite. Very Michael-centric. If this fic continues on long enough, I'll also write about his family dying ig for funsies or something.
