    People have marks on their skin linking them to other people; any shape, any place, any colour, any number. Opinions on these marks, the people on the other side of them, and the nature of the bond linking them, differ greatly between individuals.

    Summary

    “Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”

    Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.

    “I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”

    When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.

    Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.

    Probably.

    Summary

    A rickety old building stood awkwardly and not quite in the middle of Kitguli. It was made of slowly rotting wood, cracked mud and clay, and a small amount of rusty metal. The straw roofing had nearly all flaked away. Nobody knew what it once was, or maybe they did and they didn’t want to disclose that information to the very curious duo of Arnold and Kevin.

    Summary

    Tonight was nowhere near the first time Connor had broken curfew.

     

    When he had woken up, shivering and covered in a thin layer of sweat, a detail that clung to him after every Hell Dream, a reminder that it wasn’t just a dream, he had expected to get a drink of water, maybe sit on the sofa and read for a while. If he was lucky, or unlucky, he hadn’t figured that out yet, then he wouldn’t be alone for long. Neither of them needed to address what brought them from their beds anymore, the answer was always the same.

    Connor hated that it meant that the elder hadn’t slept well. He hated that it meant the other boy had either had yet another nightmare or that he hadn’t even been able to fall asleep for fear of one. But a small, selfish part of him enjoyed the other’s company in the soft candlelight.

     

    Connor and Kevin end up spending most nights together, either comforting one another after a bad night or pretending that bad nights don't exist. But tonight, Kevin has a big question that he needs an answer for.

    Summary

    The Hell dreams have been getting worse. Ever since Kevin Price strode into Connor's life, they've been getting worse, so bad that he resolves that the only solution is to stop sleeping.

    It's a temporary solution. Connor knew it wouldn't last forever. He didn't think, however, that Kevin would be by Connor's side when he awoke from the Hell dream, didn't think Kevin would care so much when he woke up screaming, or wonder why he was still crying.

    He didn't think anyone would care at all. He's not sure he understands it.
