Arthur is six and his father is dead.
He knows this not because his mother told him.
It's because his father is not here and his mother won't stop crying, just like she won't stop drinking vodka.
He is six and doesn't know what he is supposed to do, so he does the only thing he can. Sitting next to his mother,
leaning against her and whispering 'Everything is going to be okay' like his father used to do.
Arthur is 14 and tired.
His legs are shaking and he is cold because he didn't eat anything again.
He tells himself it's not because his mother has been to busy buying crack instead of food. No, it's because Arthur got fired
for punching a customer, who totally deserved it.
Looking down at his shoes his view starts to blur and he looks up quickly. He stares straight ahead till the world around him
comes back to focus and just has to keep walking.
Arthur is 16 and 3 months and hates school.
He hates that all the boys can think of is sex.
He hates that all the girls are thinking about never-ending love.
He hates that nobody thinks about reality.
His mother is in the hospital because she managed to drown herself in whiskey long enough for her heart to stop for 10,4 seconds
and he is alone at home.
He does his homework only because he's got nothing to do till he has to be at the Sleep Laboratory at 8 pm. Arthur signed up
for some experiment concerning dreams. He didn't really ask what it was about after they told him he'll get paid for it.
Arthur is 16 years, 3 months, 2 weeks and 4 days and his mother is dead.
All the girls in school are giving him strange looks but he keeps on ignoring them just like he always did.
He isn't sad, not really. His mother had died when his father did anyway.
He wished he was 18 already and didn't need to go into foster care.
Somehow he thinks his new parents are thinking the same.
Sadly he's only 16.
Arthur is 18 and got a scholarship.
His foster parents pay for the flight to paris and he is grateful, he really is. But he still doesn't like them.
He puts on his seatbelt and tells himself that he isn't running away.
He is almost good enough at lying to believe himself.
Arthur is 19 and is told to be good at what he does.
Professor Miles introduced him to his daughter Mallorie Miles, the most beautiful woman he's ever seen and her
lover Domenick Cobb, who wants to be called Dom.
(Dom smiles at her and Arthur knows there are going to be together forever. It's the first time he sees that never-ending love
all the girls at his school dreamed of.)
They share dreams and both of them are suprised when Arthur tells them he's done this before.
Mallorie still thinks he's a natural, even if he lacks imagination (he will hear that one again, years later and from a different
person) she says lovingly and insists that he calls her Mal.
Arthur is 22 and has never been so scared.
Now, after university, he works with Dom and Mal and just died in a dream. He though it was nothing special, since it wasn't his
first time but falling 25 floors down an elevator shaft is something else.
Normally his death is a quick one. Dom makes sure of that. It didn't quite work this time and he can still hear the sickening sound
of his body hitting the floor before everything went black.
Mal is at his side immediately whispering sweet nothings in his ear and he just hopes that his body will stop hurting soon.
Arthur is 23 and meets Robert Eames for the first time.
Eames is a forger and Arthur kind of likes him for exactly 2 hours before he realizes that the Englishman is damn annoying.
Dreamsharing has been declared illegal, so they don't have another choice.
Mal met Eames years ago, when he tried to steal her wallet but bought her a cup of coffee instead, and she tells them he is the
only criminal she knows and trust. (Dom and Athur share a glance and Eames laughs)
Arthur likes him until there are entering a dream and Eames tells him that he has 'absolutely no imagination, honey' and Arthur
tells himself that it wasn't the pet name that annoyed him the most. He actually believes himself this time.
Arthur is 23 and 2 months and Doms best man.
His friend only had about 3 panic attacks before he managed to dress himself properly.
Arthur smiles when Miles guides Mal to the altar, because she looks like an angel.
Eames, sitting in the front row, gives him a thumps up when the priest says 'You may kiss the bride' and Athur smirks.
Arthur is 24 years and two days and holds his goddaughter in his arms for the first time.
Dom is busy caressing Mals damp hair and kissing her forehead to notice Arthurs shocked expression when she hands him the small
Phillpa Cobb.
He has the same expression two years later when James Cobb is born.
Arthur is 27 years, 1 month, 3 weeks and 6 days and Mal is dead.
Eames is at his side and Dom (no it's Cobb now) on the other with his kids at each hand.
He not sad, not really, because Mal had been dead already when she came back from limbo and he tells himself to look straight
ahead and keep on walking.
Arthur is 29 but only in reality.
He has spent so many years in dreams that he can't remember how old his soul really is.
He is sitting in an elevator and counts the seconds down till the kick and tells himself that he isn't hearing this sickening
sound of a body hitting the ground.
He has still 10 seconds (10,4 seconds) but it feels like an eternity.
He is breathing fast from the fight against the projections and he tries to calm himself by looking at his colleagues.
He tells himself he doesn't smile when he looks at Eames and he almost believes it.
