The Things He Heard — Matt Shaw

A tragic, violent tale: The boy didn't have cancer. He had something else buried deep within which he named his Cancer. Others didn't know it was there, even though he tried telling them. Instead, they said he was fine and being silly and melodramatic. Even when his anger turned to frustration and streams of tears, they continued to say he was okay. He knew he wasn't though and, the more they doubted him and didn't listen, the more the cancer grew. He could feel it inside and, it scared him. He knew that, one day, it was going to explode. What he didn't know was who would be caught up in the explosion. From award-winning author Matt Shaw, the author of Sick B*stards, The Octopus Trilogy and Roe V. Wade.
