    Summary

    “I have enough for a first session,” the boy confirms as he pulls out various different bills. “You can count them,” he assures Daniel as he offers him the money.

    “... Look, kid,” he starts uneasily, fingers twitching with the desire to snatch the cash from this kid’s hands and bolt, “I don’t do kids. You need a special kind of therapist for that.”

    “It is not a session for me,” the boy corrects. “It is for my friend.”

    “... I still don’t treat kids,” Daniel reminds him.

    “He is old,” the boy states concisely.

    “... Huh.”

    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.

    Summary

    The panic rose him. All worries seeming justified in this fretful moment; I am not enough. He has tired of me. He has found a new boy, younger, prettier, better. He will throw me out onto the streets.

    "No, you silly child. I mean it is time, Amadeo," Marius remarked, as if it were no significant thing. "Come, give me your neck."

    ---

    Amadeo's turning, as with much of his life so far, is a sad affair.

    Summary

    The walls are covered in grime, and you are too. The dampness is unavoidable, or at least, you don't know how to avoid it. You've never known how to avoid it, and there is no escape from the mold. There is a ceaseless dripping sound pounding against the base of your skull painfully, but you know you are not allowed to pay it any mind. You are not allowed to ask— or beg, praying and pleading— for the noise of it to stop. You will never be allowed.

    Or, Armand, nothingness, and an unfortunate pattern.
