    Summary

    In the shadows of an abandoned house, Tyler feels the familiar weight of its past settle over him, memories stirring as he stands beside Josh. Why has he returned to the place he once fled, and what truths lie hidden within its walls? As Josh's curiosity pulls them deeper, Tyler wonders: can he keep the secrets that have bound him here, or will this place reveal everything?

    Summary

    His nightmares are full of teeth.

    "They made me," Josh confesses into the warmth of Tyler's shoulder. It feels like pulling shrapnel.

    And Tyler says, "They made you do what?"

    Josh shakes his head, his lungs aching. He curls his fingers into the front of Tyler's shirt. "They made me," he says again, and again. "They made me. I was a person and then I..." He swallows down a lump of emotion, a dry sob. "And then I wasn't."

    Summary

    He passes by the window, as he does every night, but a flash of colour makes him stop dead in his tracks. He whips his head to the side, looking out the glass.
    A man, dressed in dark olive greens and yellow stripes, a yellow bandana pulled up over the lower half of his face, is standing on the ground outside and holding a flaming torch, looking directly up at him.

    -–—–-

    Tyler is just trying to live his life as an exceptional citizen of Dema, but the Torchbearer won't leave him alone.

    Summary

    “Welcome to The Beast,” He announces of his beat up 1999 Subaru Legacy as he takes his space in the driver’s seat. The car, once unflaked red, has faded in the gnawing sun to a desaturated raw sapphire. It features an unoriginal driver’s door wearing a spray can paint job. It’s not stunning, but it adds character.

    “The Beast?”

    “Well, her name’s Beatrice. But ‘The Beast’ sounds a little cooler. So I lie when I’m trying to impress someone,” Josh shoots a wink. The only indication that Tyler saw it is the eye roll and dusting of red before he speaks.

    “Beatrice. I like that. Like Beatrice Portinari,” Josh’s face lights with excitement.

    “Yes! Exactly!” A giggle fills the small space. Tyler can’t help it; Josh is cute when he’s excited. It’s a bit tempting to find that they both hold literature in high regard. “She is love,”

    The dramatic declaration leaves Tyler conceiving a fond grin, but Josh isn’t kidding. Tyler can tell by the stars in his eyes. This fascinates him more. With the playful tone, the kid is able to relax his shoulders a little. His head twitches-one, two, three-to offer some comfort.
