Chapter 8

They lay together in Theo’s old bed in the laboratory’s living quarters. To Scott, the bed smelled a little of dust and faintly of chemicals but mostly of Theo. They hadn’t talked at all after they had gotten out of the hot springs; they’d dressed carefully and made their way back to Logashkino. The silence wasn’t due to regret; their ( Read more... )

Chapter 7

Logashkino squatted forlornly amid the tundra like gravestones in a marsh. The ghost town had never been much more than a trading post and eventually it was abolished by the Russian government in 1998. People hadn’t lived there long before that. The snow had stopped days ago, so Scott could get a good look at the surrounding land: tundra ( Read more... )

Chapter 6

Things were tense for the rest of that evening. After Scott ran out to his car, he ordered take out for both of them. It was the least he could do. While waiting for the food, he went into Theo’s garage to find the tools with which to seal up the front door while they were away. Theo’s truck was still there. It was the same one he had had ( Read more... )

Scott reached Van Horn, Texas, a little after six in the evening. The town was less than a tenth of the size of Beacon Hills. His first impression was the town was very … flat.

Scott crossed the border between Arizona and ( Read more... )

Scott stood as patiently as he could; there would be little point in getting angry at Stiles over this, though part of him really wanted to be angry. He had been very conscientious on when he got to the apartment after he had ( Read more... )

Chapter 2

Monday morning after the birthday party, Scott felt a sense of relief as he looked over the schedule for that day. The clinic was going to be very busy; in fact, they were going to be ridiculously busy. “Good,” he said out loud to the room, forgetting that he wasn’t the only person there.

Alan looked up from where he was hanging up his ( Read more... )

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

What I Like About the Story: I am able to get into the mindset of 'what happens after' to both the hero and the villain. What happens years after the movie/show is over?
What I Don’t Like About the Story: I sometimes wonder if I'm veering into melodrama
