"What's a photon?" Bill asked and then frowned. "Like the thing you sleep on, ain't it? Guess not, if it's in the sky."
He didn't know much of anything and he assumed a guy like Hartley would think he was a proper idiot but he didn't much care. He didn't expect to see him again after this whole mess and at least he could learn a fancy word or two. It was interesting. He stopped caring about learning when he was 12, stopped going to school at 14 and that's how he ended up being fostered by these bastards. They thought the homosexuality was why he was a thug - as fucking if.
"They need the photon thingy not to collapse? The stars, I mean. Is that how they work? I dunno the first thing about 'em."
