    Summary

    When Ian first brought up this ridiculous idea, Mickey honestly thought it was a joke.

    They found a flyer slipped under their door when they got home from work, bright blue with a picture of a cartoon sun at the top. An invite for a building-wide event, some social mixer down by the pool.

    “It’ll be fun,” Ian said, and Mickey snorted as he tossed the flyer in with the rest of the junk mail.

    He thought Ian was being sarcastic. He thought it was a joke.

    Now, as he stands in their bedroom, ripping off the price tag on a brand-new pair of swim trunks Ian brought home for him yesterday, Mickey is resigned to meet his fate.

    Summary

    It’s hard to let go of someone like Arthur Morgan. He should know that better than anyone. He’d known him 14 years, and he was about as close to a brother as someone could get without being blood. John’s eyes sting. He keeps walking. He has to.

    or

    John leaves Arthur to his death. He doesn't feel the best about it.

    Summary

    The man had been sitting on the opposite side of the fire, carving something out of a piece of wood and feeding the shavings straight into the flames. Knife still in a tight, secure grip, he had stopped and watched John. The only noises filling the night were the crackling campfire, the few animals scuttering in the distance and Uncle’s snoring.

    “Is something the matter?”, John asked hesitantly.

    “Mh? Oh no, I was just thinking.”, Charles shook his head, staring at the ground. He sucked in a breath, “I was just wondering if that was Arthur’s.” They both stared at the journal in John’s hands.
