Summary
Derek Hale has always existed in Stiles’ periphery. He heard him tell the story of how his family got to Lake George on genealogy day in the fifth grade. Listening with almost laser-like intent as Derek skillfully worded his grandparents fleeing a place once called Beacon Hills, in California, just as the Mojave Desert finished eating it alive. He could see it so perfectly, a young couple, waking one morning to find that the desert they thought miles away now consumed their property, the trees around their ancestral manor withered and dead, the grasses turned from green to bone white in the cruel night hours. They’d stayed for a few weeks, eking out an existence as the wood of the trees grew dry and hot enough to shatter and splinter, and the dirt turned to sand.
