Summary
He meets the girl on the first, butter yellow day of summer, three months before she dies. The afternoon is melting towards evening when she appears at the sagging fence around his property, white sneakers stained red with dust, her knees knobbly as a child’s. Behind her, the sycamores bristle with readiness for the season, their shade dense and creek-water cool. Panting at her side is the dog. Daryl squints at the pair from inside his workshop, and stands up slowly, his arms wet and cloudy with clay to the elbows, his right leg stiff from crouching.

Summary
"Left or right, dumbass. Merle’s voice growls in his head. Always so fuckin’ slow. Jesus. To his left, the trees roll out, an endless echo of each other. To his right, the same; but a bush of white flowers is growing at the base of a cedar a little way further, the petals wide, the centres butter yellow, and so he chooses right, because he needs a sign and this is it."
Sometimes, even a broken world brings you something perfect.

Summary
(Imported here from Nine Lives, written between September and December 2022. Notes republished here as there were at the time of writing.)
Carol is a successful tattooist specialising in scar coverups. Daryl wants a backpiece.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.(Wendell Berry)
