  Summary

  Michael has spent over half his life imagining what happened to Ryan. How he must’ve felt. How scared he had to have been. He doesn’t need to imagine, anymore. What he sees can’t possibly be real, which means he must have lost his mind.

  Summary

  Gerry's seen a lot over the years. Books that cause widespread necrosis. People made out of wax. People made out of spiders. A man who married a beetle. It takes a lot to surprise him. That said, the Spiral monster marked by the Lonely catches him off guard.
