Summary
Your consent leaps to your lips before he even asks the question in full, and the way that his eyes flash, lightless and dark under his hood, the same shade as the blood drying in the beds of your nails, you can tell that he had merely expected acquiescence, not an eager agreement. You’ve been with him long enough to understand the downturn of the corners of his mouth, the way he looks through you instead of at you, like you might be something that he made up, that he is considering unmaking.

Summary
Eyes shine up at him out of the darkness, and he withdraws his hand from the lamp, pulling himself up to lean against his headboard. The smell of standing water fills his nose, fills his room, and he lets his hands come to rest, palm-up, against his thighs.

Summary
One of the major dilemmas when dealing with being an amputee but not quite being used to it yet is that one needs to completely relearn basic motor functions. One of the major dilemmas of having seen a ghost is the desperate need to get away from it the very second it’s socially acceptable to.

Summary
Hesitation only makes it worse. The best course of action is to rip off the band-aid, right? The layers of skin that come off with it will grow back.

Summary
The air inside his bedroom smells dank, like water that’s been left standing for long enough to go stale and filmy at the top. He can feel eyes on his back, can hear wheezing breath if he listens hard enough, but he won’t look until he absolutely has to, until there’s nowhere else to look.
He’s gotten very good at pretending that it isn’t happening.

Summary
It’s as close as he can get to asking. The way Lawrence’s eyebrow twitches, he can tell that it’s as close as he’ll be allowed to get.
“Work has been hectic,” he replies, but the beat that comes before it is his tell. Adam knows he isn’t being told the full truth. It’s second nature, he thinks, for Lawrence to lie, and he’s good at it. Adam’s already rewriting his reality into one where he believes what he’s being told at face value. “Besides,” Lawrence continues, “you’re chipper enough for the both of us.”

Summary
He wonders if his dad will care. He wonders if he’ll feel guilty about it, have the sort of regrets that come along with treating someone poorly and not ever having the chance to make it right. He wonders if there’s going to be survivor’s guilt, if his father will lose sleep over the fact that he never got to apologize on his deathbed like every bad dad does in movies. Probably not.

Summary
You are seventeen, and today is her seventeenth birthday, and her spoon clinks against the glass of her sundae dish while she talks about some episode of some television show that you both watch, but you're distracted by the way the diner lights make her eyes look like heat shimmering off the hood of your car.
[or: to love and lose and love again.]

Summary
You are ten and confused because there is a boy in your class who smiles at you like you personally hung all of the stars in the sky.
