Summary
If he’d been clearer headed, less foggy with fever and fatigue and congestion, he might have been able to explain to Jon that his parents fought with words, not fists. Chet and Virna were poets. Creative, scathing, effusive.
Shawn’s sick, but going home to his parents’ arguing sounds worse than suffering through the day. Amy comes to pick him up from school.
Will his parents ever come get him?
(Set between Fishing for Virna and Janitor Dad)

Summary
To My Big Sister Cecilia:
I was so little when Mama left. The only memories I have are the ones you shared with me.
“Mama was so pretty,” you’d whisper. “She had yellow hair…like you.”
“Mama was a good cook. We make pasta. She helped me crack the eggs.”
“Mama said I wasn’t good at sewing…but she didn’t like it neither.”
“Mama cried a lot. And when you was a baby we all stayed in the bed all day until Papa come home and yell real loud.”
“Mama liked to dance,” you’d whisper. “Like us.”(Storyteller and Girl In Yellow Universe)

Summary
“Jack. You can’t keep running.” She approaches him slowly, holding out a trembling hand. “Come to bed, my love. Just- come to bed.”
He means to say no, it’s over, I’m no good, I should go, but instead, he whimpers like a shot dog and steps closer to her. He’s not powerful enough to say no to her. Never has been.

Or, Jack Kelly has lost many people. Katherine isn't one of them, yet.

Summary
When he opens the door, it's quite literally the last person he would've expected— and someone he's not exactly sure he's happy to see. He can't really tell what he's feeling right now.
"Jack." Race swallows thickly, fidgeting with his hands as he stands on the doorstep, looking every bit like he's been dragged to hell and back. He makes eye contact for a quick second, before looking down. "Hi."
