You got it stoppoppingtheP .... your turn to pick a character and leave a hint or two.

Technically I didn't guess the characters name, you did. But thanks anyway for giving me a chance.

Okay. Here goes. Guess away

A hint is that it's a short story. Hope that doesn't give too much away

Ooh, Tuck Everlasting! Well done, stop.

Is this a 20th century short story?

Yes. There are two main characters, and he is one of them.

Yes, it is quite well-known. It is often taught in schools. In fact, that is where I first read it.

Of the two main characters is the one you chose the leader - the one who makes all the decisions and plans?

Hmm. How do I explain this? Neither of them is the leader. They live simultaneously parallel lives.
