    Summary

    Erwin fills his sketchbook with two-pronged wishbones and sideways sevens embellished by wayward lines and sharp triangles. And though drawing the symbol feels wonderful, drawing it pales in comparison to admiring it. Erwin’s heart races. His pulse thrums, and his breath catches in his lungs. The symbol weaves itself into the fabric of his being. It trivializes other thoughts and pushes them out of his head.

    Finally, three months after Erwin drew a scandalous symbol in the margin of a test, something knocks quietly in the night. It whispers through the cracks in his resolve — let me in, let me in.

    Erwin should fear it, refuse it, banish whatever it is to a cobwebbed corner of his psyche, never to be thought of again. Instead, Erwin releases a breath in the darkness of his childhood bedroom and makes a pact with the nebulous presence inside himself, the one that wants to possess his every waking thought.

    “Yes,” he says.

    Summary

    “And what about that friend of your husband’s then?”

    “What about him?”

    “Well he’s a strange man, isn’t he? For Erwin to be friends with, that is. Quite an… unorthodox fellow. And he smells unusual too, for a man. Have you noticed? Like—”

    “Yes, I’ve noticed.”

    Erwin’s nose prickles with the phantom scent of oranges and lavender. That I could press my face into his hair, as a man does with his wife.

    Summary

    “You see that?” Levi says although he doesn’t know what he wants them to see. His glossy eyes are dazed, they paint pictures in his mind. Eyepatches, mustaches, pig-tails, blue eyes. Beyond them, smoke, desolation, and silence. “Guess this is the result of… all your devoted… h-hearts.”

    Levi looks up. Erwin is looking at him.

    Levi smiles.

    -

    Levi dies in the rumbling and goes to the Paths. He sees them all there.

    Summary

    Sometimes, as the winds of Narragansett Bay whip at his cold-flushed face and aching hands, Levi wonders how life has led him here. Here: atop four winding flights of stairs, seventy-three feet in the air, polishing a fifty year old light bulb several times larger than his head.

    His predecessor had complained about the loneliness while showing him around the place. Told him it makes you go mad. Levi doesn’t mind it though. In fact, he finds the isolation oddly comforting. In the middle of the ocean there are no generals or foremen screaming at him to get back to work. There are no sly insults on his stature, or reprimands regarding his attitude. Atop Whale Rock there is only steel, stone, and the occasional seabird cawing overheard.

    ---

    After being dishonorably discharged from the military, the slowly dying Levi Ackerman takes a job as a lighthouse keeper just off the coast. Content in his isolation, (aside from the occasional visit from supply-boatman, Hange) he resolves to spend the rest of his days on the sea tending to the light.

    It's only when a retired, one-armed navy man arrives to serve as a fellow keeper, that Levi has to reconsider if there's something he's been missing.
