    Summary

    "I think this is probably just going to be one of these things," Eddie tells him. "You know, like… You could probably give me a whole manual and I’d still be weird about it. Like… I kinda just need to find a dick, suck it, and have it done with, y’know?”

    “Well, you ever want help with that one, just hit me up,” Steve says, chuckling.

    Steve really just wanted to help out.

    Summary

    The summer before college is supposed to be easy.

    Mike teaches Will how to drive. They get jobs at Family Video. Evenings still belong to the park, the swings, the same routines they’ve had for years. For a while, it almost feels like nothing has changed.

    Then their boss gives them ten boxes of unlabeled tapes and tells them to watch them. All of them. Tuesdays, paid, just the two of them in a dark room writing down runtimes and summaries like it doesn’t matter.

    Most of the tapes are nothing.

    Some of them aren’t.

    And suddenly, being alone together starts to feel different. Something neither of them quite knows how to name, or admit, or look at too closely.

    Told in alternating POV, this is a story about growing up, denial, and what happens when something you’ve spent years ignoring refuses to stay buried.
