Summary
Nicole called her at three in the morning that night. Jecka woke up to the incessant sound of her ringtone. She answered blearily. Her throat was dry, and her tongue felt like sandpaper.
“So,” said Nicole, and the thin, agonised pinch of her voice immediately had Jecka sitting up in bed. “I did something stupid.”
“What?” Jecka was already hurrying to her closet. “Okay, look. How stupid are we talking?”
“ER stupid.” She could hear Nicole breathing shallowly over the phone. “I, uh, I think I broke all of my fingers. And my thumbs. Are thumbs considered fingers?”
“What?”
“Caught them in my car door.”

Okay, here’s a joke. What do you call a lesbian who’s broken all of her fingers?
(This is rhetorical. Don’t answer.)
A bottom, of course!

Summary
So you’ve gotten the bad end in the game. Big deal. You have the privilege of unwinding time with the click of a button. Jecka, however, is left to her discovery of Nicole’s dead body in the cold lonely dark. Her suicide comes as no surprise. It is a dreary end to a dreary life.
But on the night of Halloween, a monster wearing Nicole’s face appears on her doorstep, dripping with rainwater and streaked in grave-dirt. It acts like Nicole. Speaks like Nicole. Sometimes, it confuses itself with Nicole.
Things only go downhill from here.

“If you’re going to eat me, then do it.”
“I’m not going to eat you when you’ve just confessed your feelings for me,” said Nicole, laughing. “What am I, a monster?”
She stood up and leaned over the table to kiss Jecka. Her touch was gentle, her fingers cold. It had been such a long time since Jecka had been kissed or touched.
“Hmm.” Nicole caressed her cheekbone with a thumb. “Fuck. I don’t know why I did that.”
