    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I had a brother,” the Devil says, and Johnny damn near jerks them off the road.

    Johnny fixes his eyes on the asphalt, the faded center line. His cold-burned hand aches every time he readjusts his grip on the wheel, and that and the surrounding fields all he’s got to distract himself from this, the Devil saying I had a brother.

    For some reason, Johnny thinks of the boys on the hill behind the church, fighting in the dust.

    Summary

    (the same thing happens when you touch it- let me tell you. did they tell you what happens when you touch it? did they tell you?)

    it starts how most things start. gradual. swelling. peaks and valleys and one peak that tim can remember, one blue-dark night where waves crashed against cliffs and everything boiled over, for a spell.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    they look right together. it makes sense. pretty, delicate things- blown-glass wrists and spiderweb eyelashes- pushed together, candlewax-dripping, melting where their mouths meet. like entropy- reverse entropy? like it's a law. eventually alex-and-jay are gonna kiss and it's gonna be tiny galaxies colliding. magnets crashing together and killing something in between them. tim sorta feels like it's killing him. is that romantic?

    Summary

    Gerry looks at him like he’s little more than a worm at his feet. He says, “It's my turn to talk, unless you’re asked a question. What do you want, Needles?”

    His heart leaps into his throat, but all the same Needles tries to speak. “How—How did you know my name?”

    “I said I’m the one asking questions here. What do you want? Don’t lie.”

    Needles, nervous and bewildered, answers, “You.” It falls out of his mouth so quickly, as if forced to spill into the air. His eyebrows furrow in his confusion, his hands wanting to come up and cover his mouth as he wonders why he’d just admitted that.

    Summary

    Aradia was used to seeing her daddy rip the walls apart. Every week or so he would stalk through the house, looking through every nook and cranny, knocking on walls, until he found something out of place and smashed it or started pulling wires out of the walls.

    Summary

    Nights like this come more often than you'd like. Nights when things go wrong. Nights when he gets hurt. Nights when he comes to your doorstep clutching his bloody side, crying from the pain.
