Silent Boy

He is a Silent Boy. He never speaks; just listens. But it's not as if he chooses to be a mute, he would talk all the time if he could.

He just can't.

He doesn't have proper vocal chords, so the only thing he can utter is a small laugh or a slight sob whilst crying.

Silent Boy is beaten and broken because of his "condition," leaving his brother as his only companion in his thoughts; the thoughts he dare not mention.

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Job, 14. 1
