    Summary

    The man’s clothes looked like a group of beggars had taken pity on him and given him their cast-offs. He looked like he’d been thrown out of a haunted swamp for bringing down the vibe of the swamp. He looked like how a hangover felt. He was not well groomed.

     

     

     

    The man looked up and gods, he looked tired. His eyes were dark little pinpricks of exhaustion and bitterness, bloodshot and sunken.

    ‘Gods,’ said the man in a voice that sounded like the gritty dregs of a coffee pot with a damp cigarette end chaser, ‘you look awful.’

    Mic had already been pitied by a Zombie today, he wasn’t going to be told he looked a mess by this human bin fire.

     

     

    In Ankh Morpork, a Banshee meets a man with backwards magic. They both have the same problem - the hourglasses of their lives are faulty, and so Death cannot allow them to die. Death's super polite about it, but still. It's a whole thing. And it's up to them to find out why, and how to fix it.

    Love & loss, a chase across the world, a found family and an inappropriate shirt.
