Summary
It's three in the afternoon on a Tuesday, and Zeke is playing hookie. He looks out of a smudged window at the bland landscape of an Ohio suburb a little less swanky than his. The sky is of a uniform grey, the sun beaming weakly through a seamless layer of clouds, like a giant soft light, department store lighting. There are no shadows anywhere, and all the colours-the reddish brick of the apartment building next door, the ugly yellow of the dog trotting on the sidewalk at the heel of an elderly man, the man's white hair-are at once brash and washed out. Zeke squints; he's always hated the in-between twilight, and this is too close to it for comfort.

Summary
Amongst the smell of newly waxed floor and sharpened pencils, Casey clutches his new books, the spines still uncracked and the pages sticking together. The tag inside his new shirt itches and his shoes leave scuffs in the hallway on his way to his first class of the year. Even he smells strange to himself, having run out of his regular shampoo that morning and resorting to using his father's. Through it all, though, is the familiar pull of his bag's worn strap across his shoulder, the weight of the camera, keeping him grounded. The possibility of floating away when nobody is looking is a feeling only particular to the first few days of September.

Summary
It should be one of those steamy post-coital things, with the mirrors fogged up, the door left suggestively unlocked, the deliberate enjoyment of hot water on bare skin. But this is Casey, and he hardly ever does anything movie-like.

Summary
It happens in the school library, third aisle in Fiction, against the column with the corkboard and the rusting fire extinguisher.
