This shift had been excruciating, even if Noah had spent most of it driving delivery. The upside was that it meant he didn’t have to worry about the humiliation of being in the House of Pizza with Charlie and Celine after blowing it so badly the other night. But it did mean hours alone with […]

“Hey, Iris?” Andrew had been sweeping the floor when the thought occurred to him. And he was actually somewhat shocked he hadn’t thought of it earlier. Iris looked up from what she was doing. “Yeah?” “We’re going to put Billy McBride to rest, yeah?” “Yeah.” “How are we going to do that, exactly?” Iris looked […]

Charles Baxter hadn’t been into the New Winslow General Store in days, which was completely unlike him. So Tara Stevenson was actually fairly relieved to see him when he walked in the front door mid-afternoon. He’d looked stressed and sick for months now, but she truly wasn’t sure she’d ever seen him look as bad […]

Noah woke up angry at himself. Not that this was anything new, but this time it was a specific anger. He’d dreamed of swirling winds and sickly lights all night, unaware that he was in a dream and wasting valuable time until he blinked awake in the early morning sunlight. Liv was already up, sleepily […]

Roman picked up his ringing phone, his mind still mostly on the shop’s order for tomorrow. “Hey, Charlie,” he greeted, finishing the sum he’d been in the middle of as the phone rang. “What’s up?” “Hey, boss,” Charlie said. “Hey, um, Noah didn’t show up for work tonight.” Fuck. Roman put down his pen and […]

Yelling at Noah wasn’t going to do any good. So when Andrew had told her that Noah was at Iris’s apartment, Olivia did her best to not just swallow down her anger, but to let it go entirely. She didn’t want to be angry. Not after a year of improvement and especially not after the […]

The first thing Noah noticed was the silence in his mind as he woke up. There were no lingering storms behind his eyes, not like there usually were. The second thing he noticed was that he had no idea where he was. This wasn’t the first time Noah had woken up in an unfamiliar place. […]

Iris wasn’t surprised when she glanced over about forty minutes later to see that Noah was asleep. He was half-sitting and half-lying on the couch, not looking particularly peaceful. She stayed where she was, not wanting to miss if Billy came through while Noah was here. But eyes still on him, she got out her […]

“Noah, you look terrible. Are you sure you want to do this?” It had been less than twenty-four hours since he’d called her and now here Noah was at her shop. Iris knew it was a bad idea to do anything, just looking at him. He looked like he hadn’t slept right in a while […]

Olivia didn’t mean to scream, but when the hand came down on her shoulder, she was a thousand miles away from downtown New Winslow. Mentally, at least. She’d needed to go back to the Limerick one more time, forcing herself to do so because there were a few more things that had been salvageable. Nothing […]
