Summary
She almost has it. Just past Mari and then onto her feet and Coach will never be able to catch her.
Mari grabs Shauna’s injured wrist and twists. Pain explodes across Shauna’s arm and a yelp scrapes itself from her throat as she falls on top of Mari.
By the time the pain fades enough for Shauna to remember to move, there’s a noose around her neck, pulled taut. Mari lies underneath her with wide-eyes and shallow cuts sliced across her cheeks. Her clothes are caked with dirt and ragged and her hand rests overtop of the bone of Shauna’s wrist, like she’s preparing herself to twist again.
“Holy shit Shauna,” she says, out of breath, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
The pit makes a bad day worse for Shauna. Or maybe that’s just Mari. (canon compliant up until the end of 3x2)

Summary
Lottie twists then, dark hair sliding over her shoulders and suddenly Shauna is sixteen again in the pressing heat of August, watching Lottie wade into the waters of Marlu Lake. She wore her hair up then and had smiled brighter than the sun bearing down on them as she’d called out for Shauna to join her.
“You said anything,” the Lottie of here and now says severely. Frail in a way that’s been beaten into all of their bones since the start of winter.
Shauna had. Shauna will. Shauna has to.
The Shauna of sixteen is long gone. As relevant to the here and now as her Brown acceptance letter, stashed away in some drawer back home.

Summary
Sarah’s first thought upon entering the room is only for the way Katherine’s loosened hair spreads across Sarah’s pillow in an array of red and auburn.
Her second thought is that Katherine is lying in Sarah’s bed.
She knew that was going to happen. She was the one who suggested it. It’s just that no amount of knowing and anticipating could’ve prepared her for the sight of Katherine wrapped in the same blanket that Sarah has been sleeping underneath for years. Nothing could have prepared her for Katherine, sick in her bed, eyes drooping with sleepiness.
When Katherine falls sick, Sarah takes it upon herself to look after her.

Summary
“You know, every New Year’s since I was a kid, I’d always make a big long list of all my resolutions for the next year,” Misty says soft as the snow gently falling outside, “but when I laid out the piece of paper this time I just…” she trails off, plastering a half-hearted smile to her face, “I couldn’t figure out what to put down,” she says finally, playing it off like a joke. It doesn’t land.
Nat’s throat tightens, blocking the air clawing its way up her throat. She gets it. She really really does.
Eighteen-year-old Nat had never expected to make it this far. Hell, the Nat from a few months ago had never thought she’d live to see the end of the year. She hadn’t wanted to live to see the end of the year. The future is muddled and blurry, with no clear picture of what to expect. She’d given up on New Year’s resolutions by the time she was twelve. There was no use in planning for the future when nothing ever went as expected for her.
And yet… Nat is forty-two. She’s alive and breathing. Maybe Lottie’s cult teachings rubbed off on her more than she thought they did. Maybe… maybe she can let herself hope.
New Year’s Eve 2021. Nat and Misty meet up to talk.

Summary
Finally, a small warble of a voice echoes through the room, “I don’t know what to draw.” he whispers mournfully, turning to look at Mike.
Mike frowns, “You don’t… what?”
Will glances wistfully down at the pencil, a standard steely grey, still floating aimlessly in the air, “Can’t think of anything.”
Mike’s shoulders rise up to his ears. This was supposed to be simple. Just get the ghost some pencil crayons and get him to stop terrorizing them all. How the hell does it keep getting more complicated?
He inhales deeply, letting the air fill his lungs, “Well, what did you like drawing before?” When you were alive, is what he thinks but doesn’t dare to add.
Will tilts his head to the side, deep in thought. The silence stretches between them like a chasm, “It’s hard to remember,” Will admits finally, “Sorry.”
In the Fall of 1987, the Wheelers move to a new town, but when things take a turn for the worse in their new house, it's up to Mike to make contact with the strange entity haunting them.

Summary
“Okay. If you don't like your wish and you don't like mine, if you had a do-over, what would you ask for?” Ray asks, unimpressed, like this is a dare that he doesn't expect Pete to be able to complete.
Pete had spent a lot of time thinking about this after the Walk. It’s near impossible not to, really; you’re given the hardest choice you’ll ever make after the most horrific few days of your life, and you have forever to stew in the consequences of it. Pete has been stewing in it, indeed. “Do you really think you can wish for anything?” he asks. “It shouldn’t have been possible to get that kid an elephant so soon, but—”
“You want a magical wish, then? Like a fucking genie? It’s all hypothetical anyway. Go for it.”
Their feet move in tandem, like soldiers. The horrible ache in Pete’s stomach has gone away. This is the only time it ever goes away: here, in a dream, with Ray. “Well, I’d ask if I could just go on walking with you forever.”

Summary
Shauna Shipman knows hunger in every way a human can.
Hunger can come in three types: the type that draws the knife to the throat, the type that draws the lips to their counterpart, and the rare type that combines the previous two; the feeling of biting down and knowing this skin had once been the apple of every boy's eye, knowing that there was no way to be closer than this. Shauna has been hungry, she was born hungry, this whole situation just made it all worse. Shauna says she wasn't born like this but she knows she is lying, when her teeth first collided with Jackie and when her fist first smashed against the Prophet's face she knew that she was one of the lucky few to experience hunger in every way a human can. Shauna justifies her hunger by turning her gaze to Lottie and seeing it reflected back at her in the tall girl's eyes. Lottie will not be a martyr for Shauna's hunger.
It's the end of Autumn and Shauna won't let Lottie die.
