It's a MYSTERY. The boy that tells this story as it happens has a few problems, one that starts out as an inconvenience but quickly becomes much more. His upcoming twelfth birth becomes meaningless as questions arise that are much more important. Is his name Bobby or Brian? Who are his real parents? Is he schizophrenic or is he suffering from a head injury? About the only thing he is certain of, is that he must find those solutions on his own with the unwitting help of others.
