Summary
A courier walks the Mojave, always two steps ahead of the reaper, the black dog. She would give anything to forget what she's running from. When it finally gets its jaws around her throat, her wish is granted - but it's not all she'd hoped it would be.
Meanwhile, Boone can't embrace death fast enough. Stuck in the past, desperately waiting for something, anything, to change, but unable to change himself.
Fate crosses their paths. Two broken people going in opposite directions who meet in the middle to seek revenge. Instead, they find something else.
If they can keep it is another matter entirely.

Summary
The Hanged Man is a martyr, self-made or otherwise. He has made peace with his role in life — a lesson in letting go, in allowing what will happen to happen and accepting the future while taking the time to reflect. But while it’s important to make peace with the darkness, how long can you stagnate?
Releasing the noose would be painful, a drastic change, but it is the only way for the Hanged Man to move forward.

Summary
A blooming cactus, adorned with a crown of pink flowers bright enough to appreciate even behind his sunglasses. Boone stared at it, a lump forming in his throat.
Cactus flower. Pretty to look at, hard to get close to.
Wilted as soon as it was plucked.
