    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    “Ah. Am I making a house call?”
    Owen nods.
    “Could you describe the patient’s condition? I need to know what to bring with me.”
    “Our wolf has fallen ill.”
    The doctor frowns. “I’m not a veterinarian."
    “He isn’t always a wolf.”

    Summary

    The image of Louis seeing him off as he was dragged into the depths of hell is burned into Owens mind. That alone - the knowledge that he's broken the heart of the only person hes met that was worth a damn - must have been considered enough of a torment that he got to skip the whole "tortured in the eternal inferno" thing.

    Owen wakes up to find Oakhurst has been reset to the day he initially woke up from his nap. No blood has been spilled, no fires have been started - everyone is fresh on the land and completely unawares of the horrors that await them. To rub even more salt in the wound, Abolishs cure for vampirism followed him, and he was once more forced to live in his accursed human body.

    Well, not that Owen cares, really. Hes done his time. Hes played this game once, and he couldn't even say he walked out satisfied. Let the humans and the vampires fight and kill each other - hes perfectly content to live out of sight and out of mind of those wretched people. He doesnt need their company, and it's not like anyone will notice or care if hes absent, besides.
