    Summary

    When you woke, it wasn’t slow or drifting- it was all at once. There was no gradual return to consciousness, and no drifting up through layers of half-thought and sensation. One moment there was nothing- no time, no body, no awareness, no self- and the next there was everything, immediate and overwhelming as you came to life like a risen corpse, gasping and coughing, with Grace's name on your lips.

    -or-

    You wake four years after the events on the Vat, far from home- 11.9 light-years away from everything familiar. Dr. Grace is there- you didn’t lose him, not entirely- but when he wakes, it becomes clear that he doesn’t remember you; doesn’t remember what you meant to each other- and the strain of carrying that alone begins to show, even to him.

    [A Sequel to The Billboard Says, "The End is Near"]
