    Summary

    Armand starts collecting rubber duckies and other bath paraphernalia, but the duckies become one of his… special interests.

    He gets the classic yellow one, then the other two primary colours, and then he starts doing fucking Punnett squares with them, scouring the internet to nail increasingly specific shade variations, and no, Daniel, mulberry wouldn’t be the result of these particular recessive traits, don’t be ridiculous, it’s much more of a sangria. Daniel makes the mistake of asking where, exactly, do rubber duckies keep their genes, recessive or otherwise, and gets the mother of all pouts plus an entire hour of silent treatment for his trouble.

    To reiterate, the guy is over 500 years old.

     

    Or: Armand loves water; Daniel loves Armand.

    Summary

    “I expect you’ll have a dreary few weeks doing puzzles with the missus? Eating microwaved foods and celebrating your capitalist American customs.”

    Daniel merely rolls his eyes at the bait, fixes the strap of his satchel over his shoulder. “Yeah. How’d you guess?”

    The boy doesn’t respond. He only acknowledges Daniel with a brief glance. “Enjoy yourself. Don’t miss me too much.”

    Professor Molloy resides in the gloomy, fire-and-brimstone walls of St. Thomas University over the Winter break — circa the year 2000. Christmas plans: survive his second divorce, deal with his feelings for a random, online stranger and handle the tension with his obnoxious, European TA, who he’s now stuck with for the next few weeks.

    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.
