    Summary

    “Thank you,” said the man, his voice soft. His face was gentle, the lines scored through it less graven. “I appreciated that. I’m sorry about your mother.” His hand was splayed across the now-finished bandage, one trousered leg dangling off the sofa. His eyes seemed huge and dark, travelling from Martin’s own eyes to his lips to his freckled cheeks and back again in a manner Martin found intoxicating. He was leaning in, his face only inches away, features soft but unreadable.
    -
     Martin never joined the Archives and is working in a London café. Cue Jon, who blows in from the cold and disrupts his cosy life with stories of impossible entities and creeping fears. Before he knows it, Martin is hopelessly involved and soon there won't be any going back - for him or for Jon.
