    Summary

    Stede Bonnet has a secret.
    By day, he’s a normal college student, going to classes, studying, taking exams, no different from the rest.
    By night, he’s teen pop sensation Leonardo Colorado.

    ***
    or: Stede is basically Hannah Montana and it is getting increasingly difficult to hide his secret identity from his best friend Ed, a superfan of Stede's pop star counterpart. Stede's massive crush on Ed only makes the whole thing more complicated.

    Summary

    Finally, at 43, pop star Edward Teach is about to get his fairytale ending. He’s got the perfect guy—handsome, kind, patient, and most importantly: crazy about Ed. When his boyfriend proposes, it should be an easy yes, yes, a million times yes! There’s just one problem. Ed’s kinda sorta already married, and he hasn’t spoken to the guy in seventeen years.

    Summary

    "But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness". 

    1 John 1:9

     

    Edward Teach knows sin and guilt. He's got success and fame, a life that most would envy professionally, but his personal life is another matter entirely. He's shit at relationships, shit at finding happiness, in general, Ed's always been a bit shit. He knows he's floating through life, and eventually floats back into the same city he went to college. The same city he once crushed a sweet guy all for the sake of winning a bet.

    And meets Father Stede Bonnet, a man who seems to see into his guilt-laden soul and offers to wash his sins clean.

    Summary

    The sidewalk is a little less even here, built with large slabs of shale rather than the curated concrete of main street. He picks his way towards the park, admiring the older houses built here with stone foundations, and some with shale shingles on the roof.

    And then he hears a strange sound, sort of electrical? He thinks?

    He walks a little farther down and realizes the sound is echoing out from an old Victorian style townhouse that looks incredibly run down. The beeping continues as he draws closer. Intrigued, Ed pulls up his phone camera and starts recording.

    ----

    Ed finds a strange house blaring Morse code out into the neighborhood. Is pandemic isolation driving him crazy, or is there actually someone sending messages by telegraph in the year 2020?

    Summary

    The world has opened back up.

    Ed's having a hard time doing the same.

    Somewhere else in the Greater Toronto Area, some guy's hosting a radio show for aliens. In trying to convince extraterrestrials of all that Earth has to offer, Signs of Life is also sort of showing Ed what's out there for him, if he’s ready to step back outside.
