    Summary

    Where is your God when you cry out in the dark? Do you still cling onto hope in the middle of the night, hoping to find an answer? There is no God here. You scream and scream, but it will not save you. Stare into the abyss, and confront what stares back at you.

    Summary

    Maybe it was the way the sound blubbed past his mouth or the simplistic, honest diction of his response, but the apology that followed threw her off guard— the sincerity of it smashing a wall she was sure was steady.

    “Sorry…”

    Then, for her, and only her, time mercifully slowed for a perfect moment in an imperfect city in a universe pyre, ready to ignite.

    Summary

    It’s a new start with plenty of what if’s. This is the life she wanted. The life he wanted. But tides rise just as they wash away. Hope can be a fire that can be snuffed out in mere seconds. This could be the start to something beautiful or the beginning of a careless tread on uncharted waters.

    Summary

    It’s fitting that their last meeting will be at a funeral; Bill has been in mourning since the night he’d knowingly and inescapably stifled the sparks of something more. At least, this way, he can finally say he’s sorry, and Frank will know that he means it.

    Summary

    The memories of those visits tend to blend together in Joel’s mind, a soft-focus blur of tastes and sounds and particularly memorable jokes, usually told by Frank. Joel remembers the year that Tess had gotten her hands on some Elton John sheet music and Frank had point-blank asked if she thought all gay men liked Elton John, pretending to be legitimately offended. Tess had apologized profusely, something she rarely did, until Frank had cracked and, face splitting open wide, had admitted that he actually is pretty fond of Honky Chateau.

    Summary

    “And you’re sure you know where you’re going?” Bill asked for the third time that morning, hanging back from the fence as Frank shouldered the bag.

    “Due north through the woods until I hit the highway, then follow it east until I smell bacon.” They both forced a laugh. Frank’s face was cheerful, but he couldn’t hide the nerves that stiffened his body language, nor the darkness in his eyes. Yet he mastered himself and placed a hand on Bill’s shoulder. “Thank you for all of this. It’s been… a revelation.”

    “You just get there safe.”

    “Will do.”

    Something leaden and corrosive slogged through Bill’s veins as he unlocked the gate and ushered Frank out into the world. His senses were on high alert on this side of the fence and he felt edgy and ice cold. “Don’t fall in any holes,” he offered lamely.

    “Hey, it’s worked out well for me so far…” A burst of a smile like sunshine that quickly disappeared behind a cloud. “Bye, Bill. Take care.”

    These are some little vignettes from the first day through the first month that Bill and Frank are together, trying to capture some flavour of them falling in love. Read the tags for content warnings.
