    Summary

    Wally doesn't sleep.

    At least, not like everybody else, does. His friends all know this, and they've never really been given any reason to question that fact.

    And why should they? Wally seemed just as bright and just as chipper, every single morning, without fail.

    ... But what would happen if, one day, without any warning, Wally suddenly could sleep just like everyone else?

    Summary

    The house is dark, a blue-gray glow filtering in the windows, like the light before dawn. The kitchen stands empty, endless. It reminds Red of the day they learned about electricity, from that tiny, robot girl that had leapt from the box on the wall. Once again, the room is nearly pitch black, as if he were living through a repeat of that day. The one with batteries and teachers, dead and alive. A day haunted by green eyes and quiet confessions. The checkered linoleum stretches on and on, boundless, passing far beyond the point that Red could see.

    Why was he back here?

     

    Where were the other two?

    Summary

    “Have we always had a couch?”

    “What?” Duck looks up, coffee sloshing over the lip of his cup. “A couch?”

    “Yeah there’s a red couch,” Red squints his eyes, taking a long, languid sip of his own mug. “In the sitting room.”

    Summary

    The little yellow one was sitting on the kitchen tiles, legs criss-crossed, fiddling with the untied laces of his trainers. Red kept glancing over from his place at the stove, stirring the bubbling liquid in the soup pot.

    “Hey,” Red intoned, glancing again at the smaller one and his spot in front of the fridge. “Wanna come taste this?”

    “Huh?”
