Summary
Something catches Will's eye as he scans the room; it's a page Mike has left out from one of his works. He's about to shut the door when he spots the title scrawled messily across the top:
'The Cleric and The Paladin’.
Underneath, ‘Chapter 7: Crazy Together’.
Will’s stomach sinks.
He doesn’t breathe as he rifles through years of half-finished canvases and stacked sketchbook. Not until he finds it.
It's a painting. It's dusty, and it's hard to make it out, but there it is. Mike's hand placed on Will's. The canvas is old, worn. Loved.
He turns it over, hoping he’s wrong. Praying he doesn’t see what he knows he will see.
His own handwriting, scribbled on the back.
It reads, ‘Crazy Together.’
Or
Will and Mike haven't seen each other for three years. Will has fallen into a depression that feels impossibly large and inevitable. But when he receives a letter from Mike, something ancient yet familiar burns in him. There is a story Mike wanted to tell so badly, but couldn't. There is a story Mike will rewrite. There is history Mike will rewrite.
