    Summary

    Something roils Will’s stomach and he’s not sure whether it’s nausea or interest. He wasn’t particularly good at identifying his own emotions in life, and the longer he’s dead, the less he’s sure that any of his reactions are what they would have been even then.

    “You can come closer and look if you want,” Hannibal murmurs, almost but not quite to himself.

    Knowing full well that he shouldn’t, Will does.

    Summary

    Finney Blake was taken from the life he knew, snatched into darkness by a man whose presence would haunt him for years. He survived, but survival came at a cost, a lingering fear that never truly left him, and a childhood stolen that no one could return. Now a teenager, Finney tries to live a normal life. He has friends, a supportive sister, and the fragments of a life he once knew. On the surface, he appears recovered, kind, gentle, and strong in ways that make people admire him. But at night, when the world is quiet and he is alone, the memories rise like a tide. Panic, confusion, and grief twist together, and he relives the fear of that night, questioning the promise the man once made: that he would come back for him. One night, unable to stop the pull, Finney ventures into the dark, seeking clarity and air. What he encounters in the park challenges him in ways he never expected: the presence of the man who took him, a confrontation that forces every instinct, every memory, and every fear to the surface. Old trauma and present courage collide, leaving him trembling, frozen, and unsure of how to respond.

    Summary

    “I knew you were coming.” She admits. “No one ever comes to visit us; not family and not big bad wolves, but I knew someone was. I saw it in a dream.”

     

    “Cuckoo bird, what did you see?” He asks fervently, all wide-eyed intensity as he hangs on her every word.

     

    “A goat.” Harker fidgets with the zipper on her windbreaker, anxious that he will be mad the way momma was. Her mother’s anger is familiar, but if he were to scold her as well it would feel devastating. “I was standing in the snow and a big black goat was waiting for me in the driveway. It had huge horns and shiny black eyes and it didn’t say anything, but I knew someone was coming.”

     

    She brings her hands up behind her head, mimicking it’s great big knotted horns. Longlegs copies her and his hands are big enough that the silhouette he makes with his knobby fingers is almost perfect. In the dim basement light, she could swear it looks like he has horns for real.

    ------------------------------------------

    Lee Harker is nine years old when she makes a new friend, twenty years later they will meet again and things are very different than they could've been.

    Summary

    Finney never meant to drink that much, certainly not at a crowded 1980s house party, not with strangers chanting his name, and certainly not until he was calling Albert in the middle of the night, half-crying into the phone. But Albert comes. He always does.
    And in the quiet of his kitchen, with oversized shirts, gentle hands, and a careful morning after, Finney realizes how dangerously safe he feels in Albert’s arms.
