    Summary

    Pete considered the question for a long moment, then said, “tell me somethin’ you never told anybody else.”

    Ray blew out a quiet laugh. One foot in front of the other. “You wanna know my secrets, Pete?”

    Pete’s voice was slow like molasses in the dark of the night. “I wanna know everything.”

    Summary

    A few miles out, there was a little orange light flickering. Far too big and color-saturated to be a star. Too low to the ground. Ray squinted at it, then realized that it was a fire. Once he saw that, he could make out the silhouette of what was burning: a farm house.

    That’s a beacon, he thought deliriously. Untethered dream logic. He could somehow see the rising smoke through the sheets of rain, through the darkness of night. It was a signal. It was for him.

    (Or: A storm blows through The Long Walk's path. Ray and Pete build something in the eye.)

    Summary

    “Well,” Ray says, flippant, “I was thinking I’ll tell her something like, ‘hi, Mom, I missed you to death, meet the guy who saved me from a science fiction time vortex where we both got shot to death a bunch of times, sometimes he sticks his tongue in my mouth and I let him.’”

    Ray and Pete have just started putting their lives together in Ottawa. And then Ginnie shows up.
