Grand and Humble

It's really good.
It sort of captures the lives of these two boys, well -

See.
There was this one event.
And the entire story swaps between two people.
And those two people
Are the people that would have developed,
if the previously mentioned event
went one way or another.

One became the son of the governor
And was angry all the time
He would have existed if this event left the people driving him unscathed
This other kid's name is Manny. He's raised by his dad, who had given him up once and adopted him again - because Manny grew up if the car crash killed the drivers.

At the real time paradox is that they were both alive.
In the same universe.
Knowing each other - sort of. They never really met, but guy 1's best friend talked to guy 2.

and guy 2 noticed guy 1 around school, and vice versa.

And there's symbolism :D
