Summary
You woke up one day, and you were alone. You woke up and you knew it was not something that could exist as a singular occurrence, a misfire, a sui generis kind of error. You woke with the heavy burden of knowledge. You woke knowing you would be alone for the rest of your natural-born life. You woke up, you cried and cried, but in the depths of your despair, still you hoped. You considered the fact that it might all just be one sick and senseless nightmare. You slapped yourself silly, pinched thin skin between your fingertips, splashed cool water on your face—all to no avail.
You woke up. Overnight, life had become horror. Horror, life.
You wished to go back to sleep. To escape the inescapable.
At least in sleep, there was a possibility to dream. To dream was to die. To die was to be free.

Summary
A magic circle is the space in which the normal rules and reality of the world are suspended and replaced by the artificial reality.
A rip current is a strong, localized, and narrow current of water that moves directly away from the shore by cutting through the lines of breaking waves, like a river flowing out to sea.
The magic circle is porous. The outer reality affects the inner.
The rip current is dangerous. The force is strongest next to the surface of the water.

Summary
With so much time separating them, they grew up together in that distant sort of way. Chris would entertain his whims and whimsies, would keep him from getting into trouble, would always be there when Felix needed him.
Was it really any surprise Felix learned to love him? And could it really be a shock that, eventually, he wanted to close the gap between them?
