    Summary

    They’ve been on the road for about a week now, and he’s noticed that Benson has a penchant for calling him names. Nothing particularly evil, not like the things the jocks at school used to say to him before they shoved him in a locker or tried to drown him in a toilet, but little thoughtless things that made something in Randy’s chest tighten like it does when he has to ask a restaurant to correct his order. Anxiety bordering fear bordering something else entirely. It’s a tease, but there’s no malice behind Benson’s words. Randy squirms again. 

    (alternatively: is it gay to like it when your kidnapper calls you baby?)

    Summary

    Sitting on the bench on the dry platform that marked the boundary line of Paradise Springs from the rest of the ranch and farmland, Randy feared he may have been duped. Pulling out his old pocket watch, a gift from Mama that she refused to let him sell, he noted that Mr. Boudreaux was now over an hour late.

    Not an auspicious way to start a marriage, he thought.

    Summary

    Randy feels a rush that he's able to break him down. That he’s getting what he wants.
    He mourns for Lisa, for Ms. Beard, for Marsha at the diner. For everyone Benson left alive in his wake because they’ll never know what this feels like.
