- XXIII - RAYNE I saw that truck flying towards us and thought, “Oh, you gotta to be kidding me!” And then there was a deafeningly-shattering, screeching wave of deranged sound, and everything around me exploded into brilliant-white. I expected pain, blood, something else that you usually get when you end up in a bad wreck, but there was nothing. I squeezed my eyes shut for several seconds. Silence was almost unbearable. Have I gone deaf or something? “Matt…” I called and caref

- XXII - When I woke up, panic flooded me so bad that my hands started to shake. I sat up in bed, knowing that she wasn’t there, that she was gone, or even worse -- I dreamt the whole thing. She was asleep next to me, laying on her stomach, hugging the pillow, one of her knees almost by her chest. Jesus, I knew that pose so well… I lay down and carefully wrapped my arms around her. She murmured something in her sleep and moved closer to me without waking up. I wondered what time it

- XXI - LEX Oh, Holy Mother of God, please take me now… The headache is killing me. I peeled my eyes open and tried frowning when I couldn’t figure out where the hell I was. Frowning didn’t work. It felt like I was wearing some weird, tight mask. Okay, what the hell?! I tried saying something, but all I could manage was a croaking moan. “Awake, are you…” I heard Russell’s voice. “Jesus, you are one crazy fuck, did you know that?” I moaned again. “Don’t try talking,” he

- XX - 21:30 Russell didn’t even try ringing the doorbell; he just kicked the door open. I kept sobbing quietly the entire way to Lex’s apartment, and right now, I was just gulping air like a fish that got washed out onto the shore. I blindly followed him inside, and when I saw Lex, my legs gave up on me, and I slid to the floor. Russell let out a long string of scrambled obscenities, and pulled out his phone. I sat on the floor and felt completely frozen. It looked like Lex de

- XIX - LEX 18:25 I sat in my car for several minutes, thinking about what Jess just told me. She lied, she had to. There was no way that Russell actually… Jess was just trying to figure out the best way to get out of a very unpleasant conversation, that’s all. Yeah, but how did she know about Brian? I wonder if the part about the sister was true… I pulled out my phone and dialed Russell’s number. “You alive?” he said after a few seconds. “Yeah,” I said. “I survived. He

- XVIII - December 29th LEX “So now you live with two women?” I asked when my breath got back to normal. Russell laughed at that and pulled me closer. The new headboard looked like it was going to last me until Judgment Day. It was solid oak, there was no way we could break this one. “Just until New Year’s Eve,” he said, running his fingers through my hair. “That’s when Rayne leaves.” “Jess too,” I said, my eyes closed. “Jess leaves?” puzzlement in his voice mad

- XVII - December 27th MATT Be still my heart, my sister actually called me? She decided to end the feud and wish me Merry Christmas? Holy crap, it’s a freaking miracle! Granted, she is a day late, since she called yesterday and I didn’t have my phone on me, but still… Christmas miracle. I dialed my voicemail number and waited patiently for the mechanical voice to inform me that I had “One… Unheard… Message…” “Hey,” she said. “It’s me…” I frowned. She sounded weird. Not

- XVI - We were sitting outside, and I was amazed when I didn’t feel like I was going to freeze to death. The weather felt surprisingly nice for the end of December. The sun was shining, there was no wind, and it finally stopped snowing. It wasn’t warm or anything like that -- the snow on the ground wasn’t even trying to melt; but it wasn’t awfully cold either. “…and that's how the tradition was born,” Russell finished his wild story about why people put angels on top of Christmas

Yeah, he did -- they will talk about it in a chapter or two.

- XV - RAYNE Jess looked even worse than I expected. I watched her for a couple of days two weeks ago, just to get an idea of what was going on. She didn’t look great back then, but right now she looked worse. It seemed she lost at least ten more pounds, her eyes had that dull, feverish glare someone gets while they are trying to fight off some nasty infection, and dark circles underneath them were so bad that it looked like she drew them with a permanent marker. She was talking no

- XIV - December 25th JESS Fa-la-la, Jess. Fa-fucking-la-la! I’ve been trying to get hold of Landley for almost three hours. The son of a bitch is not answering his phone! This is bad, this is very bad… I feel like I am about to kill someone. I glanced at the clock. Crap, it’s almost five in the evening! “Well, maybe this is a perfect time to start that detox you’ve been planning…” someone whispered in my head and I gritted my teeth. Screw the detox, I thought gloomily, pul

Well, damn, Gina! I swear I didn't mess with fonts besides changing the size for names & chapter numbers 😶 Try a simplified view, maybe...? Whatever it is, I didn't do it. It wasn't me, it was the one-armed man!
-
Last case & all... Yeah, that's a pickle, all right...
-
Hmm, the only thing I did with the text was increasing the font-size for the names (but to the same size as I did before). 🤔 Try again -- I reduced them a bit, did it help any?

Interlude “Tell me everything.” “I already did.” “Do it again then!” “Fine, fine… Calm down.” “Don’t tell me to calm down!” “Okay, I won’t. They are going to pronounce him dead at eleven-forty-five on December thirtieth. She’ll find out about it at twelve-forty-seven in the morning of the thirty first. She is going to realize that it’s her fault. She will jump at one-thirty in the morning on December thirty first.” “Oh, God… Seth, what am I supposed to do?” “I do

- XIII - LEX Thanksgiving came and went, nothing spectacular, the same turkey as always. Russell was ecstatic to get his car finally. Jess was acting stranger and stranger every day. Sometimes, it seemed like she could go without any sleep for a full week, and then she wouldn’t get out of bed for the entire weekend. Her eating habits were bizarre as well. I was having really bad suspicions about the whole thing, even though I really didn’t want to believe it. I knew that sooner or

One would think, right? When did it stop anyone though?

- XII - DANA I was so relieved when I saw Russell that I almost cried. His eyes finally looked alive. Ever since the funeral, he looked like he was in some bizarre trance. He would talk to me, answer all my questions, even ask something, but his eyes looked empty, and it scared the crap out of me. He told me several times that he was not going to do anything drastic, because apparently, he made a promise to Brian one day, but it didn’t convince me. Finally, in October after Brian’s

She'd end up in prison, but would get a true detox.

- XI - Three weeks later Jess If I were writing a book about myself, and if it would start on this particular day, do you know what the first sentence would sound like? I am fucked, that’s what it would sound like. Yeah, that’s right. I am totally fucked. It’s been almost three weeks since Jamie’s birthday party; since that damn night, when Paul-fucking-Landley gave me his 'Chinese herb' cigarette. Chinese herb my ass! Goddamn that bastard! He finally came clean with me ten day

- X - When we got to the apartment, Russell was sitting outside smoking, his expression calm. “Ahh, crap,” I muttered. So much for avoiding the whole uncomfortable talk thing. “Oh, just talk to him!” Jess hissed impatiently, and I looked at her with surprise. She’s been acting really weird lately. All those mood swings… “Are you on your period or something?” I asked and she stared at me. “What?! No! Why?” She sounded shrill. “You are way too irritable,” I shrugg

- IX - Jess was home when we came back from Starbucks. She saw me, and her eyes immediately became almost perfectly round. “Oh my God,” she muttered and pressed her hand against her mouth. “Lex, I am so sorry! I completely forgot! Oh, crap!” She closed her eyes for a second. “I am so-so-so sorry!” “I called you, like, five hundred times,” I said with laughter. “Where have you been?” “My phone was off,” she said guiltily. “Uh huh,” I nodded. “But where have you been?

Thinking can be complicated for me once in a while. They used fuses 😐
