    Summary

    A cycle in which the Torchbearer does make it to the top of the tower in time to save Clancy. Basically the flashbacks within City Walls but instead of them being flashbacks to interactions Clancy had with Nico, they're ones he had with Torch that give him the strength to keep on fighting.

    Summary

    Trapped within the cement walls of the Tower, Clancy faces the only choice he’s ever truly been given.

    The Torchbearer’s torch flickers beside him, his hand outstretched- not in threat, but in invitation.

    "Come with me," He says.

    Clancy places his hand into the Bandito’s grasp.

    Then, they run.

    OR

    Stuck behind the walls his entire life, Clancy is offered a chance at freedom- one that arrives in the form of a man bathed in light. Together, they set out to free the remaining citizens of Dema. Will Clancy be able to carry out their plan, or will his mind fracture before he's able to do so?

    Summary

    He's come to the realization, over this past year, that Torchbearer is cruel.

    This thought that once seemed impossible was now his reality. Nova cannot sleep without Torchbearer projecting into his mind, threading himself through Nova’s dreams with eyes that know every weakness, bringing memories he never asked to keep.

    Torchbearer brings tenderness like a blade.

    Summary

    The Losers reunite to spend New Years in a cabin up in the Rockies. Richie attempts to bird watch and Eddie is bad at making gingerbread houses but surprisingly okay at skiing. But even far away from Derry, the past is a tricky thing to outrun.

    "They really are in the middle of nowhere. He can’t see any signs of human life in the mountainside below, not even another cabin. They could be the last people on earth, just the five on them inside by the fireplace and Eddie out here in the snow and rather than being disturbing the thought is weirdly calming. He wouldn’t mind it really, if the apocalypse had happened somehow; just as long as they were all together. "

    Summary

    Eddie’s life is easy.

    He wakes up at seven o’clock every morning, gets ready for the day before eating breakfast with his wife, Myra, who he doesn’t love. Then, he leaves his house, wishing it would be the last time, and drives to his horrible job, where he spends most of his day thinking about where he’d go if he left, but then he always just drives home at five o’clock anyways. Myra makes them both dinner, and she usually goes to sit in bed to wait for him, but he hasn’t come up before she fell asleep in years.

    He spends the last couple hours of the day alone, downstairs, in his living room. He listens to the radio, because an old friend of his has a radio show, and it’s nice to hear a familiar voice, even if he hasn’t seen the kid in years.
