Summary
Ivan does not hesitate. Hesitation would be noticed. It would be recorded, remembered, held. Instead, he swallows without chewing. Whatever is biting into his stomach twists there, forcing it into a knotty mess, pushing the swallowed pieces back up his throat. He quashes it anyway, pressing everything down, tamps the reaction flat, and keeps still until the watching eye finds nothing to seize.
( Or, time lingers only in the living: one, once younger, now alone in its quiet passage, while the other rests frozen, unchanging. The insects are absent, and yet the silence speaks. Death itself becomes a record. )

Summary
An empty fridge that they didn’t own, neither the pots nor the plates belonged to them. Their only possessions in that corner were a packet-of-five-packets instant ramen and two mugs, the blank ones Ivan bought and Till painted over — black cats for Ivan, and grey cats for Till, both with yellow stars. And the opened bag of cherry lollipops that Ivan sucked on while sketching designs.
Till wrapped the two mugs in the dirty towel they used to stop water from leaking onto the floor whenever the broken faucet acted up during dishwashing, and packed them together with the bathroom items. Still not full.

On the Unforeseen Consequences of Trying to DIY a Piñata by ruewyn

Summary
The man cocooning himself around Ivan suddenly stiffened, his grip loosening as his arms slackened. Panic flickered through Ivan immediately. Of course. Hamsters didn’t speak. The magic turning an ugly rat into Cinderella’s coachman was always meant to break eventually. Ivan started to pull his hand away, but the man caught it first, pressing Ivan’s hand firmly back against his head and guiding it in a silent request to continue.
Wasn’t it twelve o’clock yet?
( Or; Till DIY-ed a piñata to celebrate, took some liberties in his creation, and of course things went as well as anyone would expect. )
