  1. Summary

    Secrets taken forcibly to the grave, knives and guns glinting in dark places, things best left buried lurking beneath the concrete. Dozens of eyes peering into dozens of dark places, encountering things they will never be able to prepare for or fully comprehend. Nobody in Seattle is safe, from foolish children to old monsters, and choices will be made between the clinging dark and the blinding fire.

    A series of short works, loosely if at all connected, chronicling the myriad lives of individuals in and around the city of Seattle who stumble into things, places, and people that they'd have been better off not knowing about.

    Summary

    They reject him wholecloth. They accuse him of not seeing them as family, which is true, he doesn’t, and of trying to remove them from their home, which he is, and which was, he reminds them, his home first, but this only makes himself come across as petty and selfish and not genuinely concerned about their wellbeings. And he was concerned about their wellbeings, mostly, at the end of the day, all bitterness aside.

    Summary

    Adaine’s parents are the worst. She talks about it all the time, at least once a conversation. But none of the bad kids really understood what that meant. After all, everyone complained about their parents, Fig almost just as much as Adaine.

    But they all learn. They all understand, each in their own way.
