Summary

In one story, Bob Sheldon attacked Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade at 2:23 AM on the morning of August 26, 1965. This set off a chain of events leading to the deaths of three teen boys: Bob Sheldon, Johnny Cade, and Dallas Winston. In this story, Ponyboy Curtis, preoccupied with a murder charge, never found the time to loathe his older brother, Darry Curtis Jr., for hitting him fifteen minutes prior to the attack.
This is not that story.
