    Summary

    There was always another place. When the streets grew too unkind or the weather too cold or the buildings so tall and spindly that Gerry shivered in their shadow, they packed their bags and left doors swinging and rooms that were never theirs empty and full of light.

    in which there's a little springtime interlude✨

    Summary

    Max just wanted to be left alone. He couldn't stand the constant sympathy - how terribly sorry everyone was to hear about his parents deaths, how he should call any time he needed. Well, he didn't want their sympathy. He just needed some space, preferably somewhere quiet where he could clear his head.

    He thought he'd found exactly that when he bought his own home. It seemed just what he needed - a small place, but with big grounds and lots of trees, even a lake. Max could pay the mortgage with his dull office job, and in his spare time he could sit by the water and do his best to heal the wounds that haunted him. He told himself it would be easy - a simple plan for a simple life.

    But there were complications. Max's boss was a bully, determined to ruin everything. His work days were painstaking, almost unbearable, and Max would probably feel like he couldn't go on -

    If it weren't for the merman that lived in his lake.

    Summary

    If he lies still enough, keeps his eyes shut or fixed on the black ceiling of his cell, he can trick himself into being however old he pleases. He’s four, thinking about all the possibilities that the future holds. He’s ten, realizing that there’s not much to the future but this, with Mary. He’s sixteen, thinking 'fuck that, I’m getting out of this place.' He’s seventeen, having just been returned home by the cops. He’s twenty-two, in his flat, knowing distancing himself is not the same as freedom. He’s twenty-five, lying next to some pretty face he’d found in one of his favourite haunts, trying to delude himself into thinking that this could be real. That this could be normal.

    He lifts his head to see out into the dimly illuminated hallway and the illusion is dispelled. He’s in jail. Mary is dead but not gone. He’s trapped.

    Or: Gerry is waiting for trial. Michael is his lawyer.
