Using magic thoughtlessly has left Tim Hunter's family in ruins, and he's ready to give it up entirely. But before he breaks his wand and drowns his books, he's determined to heal the psychic damage he's done to his own father's mind. Unfortunately, like all children, he may not be prepared to handle the truth of what sort of man his father really is...

I really like the thing with his dad, I wish it had been a little longer, but yeah!

This was a nice issue.
