    Summary

    There’s something settled in the pit of Mike’s stomach, something he hadn’t even felt while standing in that living room, staring down that creepy fucking thing that couldn’t have possibly been Hannah. He thinks the last time he felt this particular brand of awful was when he’d pointed that pistol at Emily. It feels like he’s swallowed a stone, or a piece of hail the size of his fist, the kind he’d only seen once in his life.
    “Mike,” the detective who’s interrogating him prompts gently, and Mike hears it as if through water. Guilt, his mind supplies. The stone in your stomach you can’t swallow is guilt. But it’s something more than that too; it’s love, searing and freezing and indigestible.
    “Mike, the question was about Josh."

    Summary

    The thing about time is that it's relative. If something happens in one moment it also happens in every moment throughout all of its existence.

    That is to say that when a fraction of a fraction of the King slips into Avery's mind on New Year's Eve, Avery also wakes up a year prior with omnipotence, a world's worth of grief, and his best friend's real-life address burning in his head.

    Along the way he picks up a baseball bat. It's a necessary provision for smashing Derek's laptop into a thousand pieces before he can so much as launch Minecraft.

    Summary

    Billy likes the way the walls shake with excitement when Eugene’s voice cracks or Darla burns something, how the house dances with the musical lilt of Mary’s voice, the manner in which the rooms spin when Freddy walks through the door; but most of all, Billy would be lost, floating adrift inside the crack in the wall, if it weren’t for the steadiness of Rosa’s hands while his tremble, or the stability of her voice as his world tilts on its axis, or the regularity of her heartbeat when everything around him remains irregular.

    He doesn’t thank her enough. Billy watches the crack in the wall as it expands over the entire room, and the floor sways underneath him. He reaches a hand out to steady himself, and when he shuts his eyes, the sound of Darla talking to Freddy through the room reminds Billy of everything he has to lose. But it gives him an idea, too.

    He doesn’t thank her enough. He hopes this makes up for it. Even just a little.

    Summary

    Sole touches him a lot. Nothing weird, nothing funny. Just ... constant. Nick can't help but notice, and consider what it means.

    Summary

    He watches Mike turn to smile at El as Lucas digs Skittles and Kit Kats out of the vending machine, and he wants to bang his head against a wall. Dramatic, maybe, but he thinks he’s earned the right to be just a little dramatic. If nothing else, it would get Mike’s attention.

     

    Will closes his eyes, free hand running through his hair. When he opens them again, Mike is standing in the middle of the room with his arms full of candy, looking nervously between Will and El, who’s moved to sit three seats down with her nose in a magazine.

     

    He’s going to go to El. He’s going to go sit with her and try to patch things up because their relationship is...on the rocks or whatever and El is the only thing he cares about anyway, so -

     

    “Hey,” Mike says.

     

    Will blinks up at him, grip on the armrest automatically loosening (but only just). Mike gives him this timid sort of half-smile that Will doesn’t return. “Hi.”
