   • The tshirt is just the last straw

   Summary

   Turns out different cultural contexts between a post apocalyptic cult and regular Earth means Simon is experiencing Grace trying to be reassuring and thoughtful to the new human who nearly died, and putting two and two together to equal a religious experience

   Summary

   “Well, I think it started with a B. Mr. B… Buh… uh…” Grace swung the door open.

   Before he could stop himself, he crashed into a person who was going out at the same time...
   He then realized, in the collision, he had spilled his coffee all over this stranger. Oh no.

   “Gah-what the fuck, man?!” the stranger exclaimed in a deep, gravelly tone.

   “Oh my gosh oh my gosh I’m so sorry-” Grace stepped back, barely keeping his balance, then started digging in his bag. “I-I think i have napkins o-or something.” As he pulled the napkins out and pressed them to the stranger’s chest, he noticed the guy’s lanyard.

   Simon Butcher, Language Arts

   Oh yeah, that was the name.

   OR

   Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher, with very little life outside of being such. Which doesn't really bother him. That is, until he meets the new English teacher, Simon Butcher. The two are so very different, like a hot black coffee and a caramel frappacino. But, is that really such a bad thing? As the too get closer, maybe their differences aren't as pronounced as they'd thought...
   What's that phrase, 'opposites attract?'
