Summary
“Uh—” the stranger starts from the other room, appearing in the doorway with a small plastic bin in his hands. “I— My name is— I mean, everyone calls me Grace. What should I call you?”
Grace has his hair pulled out of his face with a rubber band, creating an awkwardly short tuft at the crown of his head. He sets the kit on the table and pries the lid off. Nobody has called Casey by his name in a long, long time. Sometimes he’s not even sure it’s his. Grace washes his hands in the kitchen sink, and the faint scent of soap drifts across the room.
“Casey,” he says. The syllables don't even sit right in his mouth.
“Casey,” Grace echoes. It sounds downright melodic by comparison. He comes to Casey’s side and kneels on the floor again. “Okay, I’m gonna start now.”..

Summary
There’s a beat of silence. Just the cold and the wind.
“And when I die you’ll be all alone, right?”
“No.”
Stebbins doesn’t realize Garraty has been shaving off his pace until they’re side by side. He’s only in socks, limping a little bit. He looks at Stebbins, an expression on his face Stebbins can’t name— a shard of unfamiliarity, a shard of home. Intrigue and irritation, bound together by malice. Oh, Garraty, may we both stay the same.
“What do you mean, ‘no’?”
“We both know I’m going first.” Wind whips across the bridge, frigid like the water beneath them. Icy blue-black, an expanse like concrete, solid and unknowing of this fact. Stebbins’ fever is probably cooking his grey matter by now, frying his synapses beyond recovery.
“Do you think so?” Garraty watches him with eyes like coffee grounds on the table, like bark between tree leaves. “I don’t.”..
Stebbins realizes he really is going to die before the end of this.
