When Andrew had next woken up, the room was dark and he was lying on Noah’s couch with a much less scratchy blanket tucked tightly over him. He’d then gotten up to find Noah asleep in his own bed. As tempted as he was to stay up here again, he didn’t want to push his […]

Andrew could tell that Noah was on edge from the moment that he walked into the apartment. It wasn’t that Noah’s place was a wreck. It wasn’t even its general slightly messy state. Instead, it was almost sterile. He’d clearly been up here scrubbing and rescrubbing every surface. While the countertops gleamed, it was an […]

Cleo liked Jude. She felt a little disloyal to Andrew, since he’d hated the man for reasons that were obvious to everyone except himself. But they seemed to be getting along better these days and Jude was a cool guy, so Cleo couldn’t bring herself to feel guilty when she waved to him from the […]

Roman had never been to an AA meeting outside of New Winslow. But despite his nerves, the group in Petersham had been a good one. Noah went with him and between his presence and the familiar setup of the meeting, Roman had almost felt comfortable enough to talk. Not quite, but he was almost there. […]

“I’m home!” The next morning, Cleo walked into her apartment after a surprisingly good night with her mother. She closed the door behind herself, locking it both at the deadbolt and chain. Then she turned to see Edie coming toward her. They took her in a tight hug that seemed more for their benefit than […]

When Cleo got to her mother’s house the next afternoon, everything in her screamed that she needed to leave New Winslow now. She knew it wasn’t some kind of psychic intention or spiritual anything. It was the fight she’d had with Liv, Edie’s close call, the clear knowledge of her own chances of getting stuck […]

“Have you ever noticed that whenever you hide, you try to pretend you’re actually doing inventory?” Noah’s voice interrupted Olivia’s spiraling thoughts as she sat on the floor between the furniture pallets with her clipboard limply in her hand. “Hey,” she said dully. “Hey.” Of course it would be Noah that found her like this. […]

Just like Andrew and Noah had instructed, Cleo had spent as little time in New Winslow as possible over the past few days. But she really wanted to talk to Liv about it. Maybe it was yet another justification for spending extra time in town, even if she truly didn’t want to be here. But […]

Olivia’s hands were completely covered in dough. So of course that was when her phone was going to ring. “Shit,” she muttered, despite the fact that Mia’s all-too-keen ears were only on the other side of the counter at the Limerick. She wiped her hands as well as she could on a towel, then fished […]

Iris had said it was strange out here, but Andrew hadn’t realized exactly how strange it was. He’d wanted to see the space for himself, but the idea of going into the woods of New Winslow was entirely unappealing, even if it was to get a bit more context about the curse’s origin. However, here […]
