    Summary

    “You remember when we went to the movies?” She whispers, “And those guys from school, complete jerks who stole your lunch came up to us. And you stood in front of me, ready to protect me,”

    “The kids were twice your size, and you were ready to fight all three of them. Just for me. They ran away pretty quick when I started scolding them. We got way too much popcorn and you covered my eyes when the characters started kissing, Mark, it was ridiculous.”

    No reply.

    “I wish your dad was like those bullies,” She says, knees pulled around her chest, “I wish I could tell him to leave you alone and he would,”

    She wants to kill him. It’s a horrible, awful thought. Debbie’s never wanted to murder anyone. But Nolan fooled her. He was her best friend, her husband, he was Omni-man and she was his pet. He tried to kill her son. She can’t even do anything about it. It never bothered her that Nolan could snap her right in half. She didn't think Nolan would snap anyone in half. Until he did.

    The heart monitor keeps beeping.

    OR: Debbie and Mark, after Nolan leaves

    Summary

    The natural light in the room dimmed as the sun lowered and with it, the temperature. Slade could admit as much to himself that he could no longer watch impassively as the boy froze. Eyeing him, Slade tried to overlook the fact that he could practically see the water freezing into glistening crystals on his skin.

    Summary

    “I’d love to meet with you,” Davey said, apologetically, when he had been called up by a fellow looking to initiate therapy, “but I’m all booked up for months.”

    “Are you sure?” The fellow said, through a poor connection that crackled.

    Davey had been sure. And yet. Right there in his calendar was a blank spot, just a few days away, which he had somehow completely overlooked before. “How about that…I’ve got Wednesday at eleven, if you can make that work.”

    “What a miracle,” the fellow said, “that would be just the perfect time.”
