    Summary

    Louis pets a hand soothingly down Armand’s spine before he grinds the lit end of the cigarette into Armand’s lower back, right above his pelvis. The bright, searing pain makes Armand hiss and squeeze his eyes shut, but he doesn’t try to move away. He presses up into Louis’s painful touch like a cat asking to be pet.

    “What do you think?” Louis implores, “Want to see the New World?”

    “Of course, love,” Armand rasps, “Anything. Anywhere.”

    ***

    Armand and Louis and steadily hurtling into the sun.

    Summary

    Daniel’s checking out a kid at the bar. Alice is checking her watch.

    (Mark from work is going to pick her up soon. Daniel saw his Toyota drive past the window a few minutes ago, he’ll be idling out back right now. She’ll fake a migraine and leave any second.)

    He risks another look at the kid. He’s staring back intently, not even hiding the fact that he’s been making eyes at him since they arrived, perched elegantly on one of the rickety bar stools with all the poise of a dancer.

    The clock above the bar strikes 9:00. “I think I’m getting a migraine,” Alice says.

    “Oh no,” Daniel replies.

    or:

    an average date night for daniel and alice, circa 1996.

    Summary

    It isn’t supposed to snow in San Francisco. When it does, it never sticks. At least, not in the heart of the city. Here it becomes nothing on impact, hits the ground and dissolves as quickly as it falls.

    But today, there is a blanket of white covering the streets. It is early in the morning, only barely approaching twilight, and the disturbances in its surface are few and far between—the landscape still largely pristine. Peaceful, almost virginal. Soon to be reduced to a gray-tinged slush, surely. A twice-in-a-century phenomenon unmade by footsteps and tire tracks.

    There are two great tragedies in this world, Armand thinks. To spend a lifetime waiting for a beauty that never materializes. To spend a lifetime waiting for a beauty, only for it to be stolen in an instant.
