    Summary

    Dear Stephen King, please forgive my transgressions for not setting this in Maine.

    Billy Stebbins never left the small town he grew up in. He works at the garage his father owns, lives with his mom, step-father and two brothers, and has never really thought about life outside his town.

    When his best friend Ray Garraty's cousin Richard Harkness comes to visit for winter break, Billy and Richard begin to slowly realize they might like each other as more than just acquaintances that see each other once a year for two weeks.

    Summary

    "It's opening weekend and we already got a line of snotty toddlers all the way down to Auntie Anne's, so I need you on your shit today, you hear me?" Hank Olson is Stebbins' company-assigned handler. If it were up to Stebbins, he would've arranged to meet with Olson last week during his otherwise brief and uninformative orientation so that they could maybe make introductions before he got back into this ridiculous suit. But wasn't up to Stebbins. Why would it be? He's a brand new hire. So, of course, this is the very first time he and Olson are meeting. The set opens in eleven minutes. "You better be rarin' to rip, Rabbit."

    Confused, Stebbins immediately goes to repeat the phrase back to Olson in the form of a question. "I'd bet—?"

    "Whoa, hey! Shut your fuckin' carrot flap! Didn't anyone tell you the rules?"

    or: the one where stebbins gets a seasonal job as the easter bunny at the mall and falls for his foulmouthed company-assigned handler hank olson (hallmark holiday movie style)

    Summary

    The distant idea of his father’s love evaporated into the gunpowder fog. Someone who had known him for 28 hours had given a damn about him, something The Major hadn’t managed in 23 years.

    Harkness, whoever the hell he was, would have to live.

    ----

    The blood of rebellion waters something new in Billy Stebbins.
