  Summary

  Sometime, Will thinks to himself. In the ever encompassing darkness of night, his little brother vanishes.
  His mom is releasing soft gasping sobs into his dad's chest and his sisters grip on his hand is steadily approaching painful, but his little brothers camera is sat on the dining table. Small and innocuous, unobtrusive in it's existence. It's broken and Will thinks he just might shatter along with it.
