    Summary

    Charlie can’t bring himself to stay at home. Not with the lion in the living room hunting him like prey. Seeking refuge at Mac’s house, he finds the other boy already has a bit going on himself, so he takes one last chance with Dennis.

    This time, he’s welcomed inside. And once he starts talking, he can’t stop.

    Summary

    Charlie's in hospital again. Lost in rituals, intrusive thoughts and compulsions; he's hurt himself in a delusional attempt to save his own life. Mac comes to visit. Of course he does.

    ***

    One, two, three. Straighten the yoghurt pot on the hospital table. One, two, three. Pick at the bandages on his left hand. One, two, three. Check his phone screen for messages from Mac.

    No Mac still. No Mac, even though he should've been here five minutes ago, and his hand hurts like a bitch. One, two, three. Itch the hair on his face with his scraggy nails. Where is he? All sorts of things can happen in five minutes. There's ghouls out there after all; maybe one of them has stolen Mac. That would suck. Maybe he's been hit by a car on the way. That would suck too, but considerably more so than a kidnapping by ghoul. Car accidents are ugly and messy. Bones and blood and entrails, skin peeling in places it shouldn't, bodies inside out. Grazes. Yellow and green. Why are things yellow and green? It should all be red. Is Mac dead? Mac's fucking dead. One, two, three. Check the screen of his phone, but this time with shaking hands.
