    Summary

    “Er… haha..” Mary-Beth chuckled uncertainly, unsure what to say. “What are you… playing?”

    Molly looked at the cards. “Poker,” she said, before casting a wicked look at Karen. “Though Karen's been cheating.”

    Mary-Beth looked at Karen, who was staring at Mary-Beth's neck with an intensity that was not about poker.

    “Right,” Mary-Beth said.

    OR

    Karen is a zombie, Molly is both insane and very much in love with her, and Mary-Beth is trying to make sense of the insanity.

    Summary

    Mary visits Arthur’s grave for the first time in the late fall, before the reaching snow comes any further down the mountains, white fingers of ice stretching long over the rocks and boulders and turning the air bitter and cold.

    The next time Mary visits, early in the spring of 1901 when the ground is wet and muddy from the melting mountain snow, she finds, to her great surprise, that someone is already there.

     

     

    Mary Linton meets Sadie Adler.

    Summary

    The last shot is accompanied by the trail of a cry, shrill, angry, fearful. Arthur lowers his revolver. Blinks. Tongues at a bloody tooth from getting hit while strangling an O’Driscoll, spits red mucus onto one of the bodies on the floor.

    The crying starts up again, as if sensing Arthur’s confusion. For a moment, Arthur thinks it must be some poor lady these savages have taken alongside the house, but quickly knows it to be untrue. It’s too—wet, pointless in a way only the young can manage, knowing that something is wrong but not knowing what. Just a shout, not the bellowing anguish of someone who knows what god-awful situation they have been put in.

    “Christ,” he says, once, twice. “Christ.”

    or

    Arthur accidentally adopts a baby, and, despite his best judgement, ends up starting to raise him. He falls in love with Charles along the way.
