    Summary

    Afraid of his game becoming outdated, the Narrator decides to update it to better fit "current socio-political trends." However, as a being bound to the Parable with no direct contact with the real world, his understanding of politics comes mostly from random social media users.

    Or: The Narrator tries to get a good grade at Woke, and fails miserably.

    Summary

    Maybe, if The Narrator wasn’t doing his absolute best to ignore Stanley’s nonsense, he would have already noticed that something isn’t quite right here. How very easy it is to forget that he has a number; a number that corresponds to an office, no less. Silly man. He should have been more careful.

    The Narrator stands and whirls around just in time to see Stanley start to wander in, expecting another empty office. Stanley freezes when he realises that the office is very much not empty.

    Summary

    McKinley claps his hands together. “I just – I’m going to say it,” his expression is pinched, as though he’s holding his breath. “Elder Price. I’ve been having… gay thoughts. About you.”

    Oh. Oh? Oh. Wow.

    Kevin swallows. “Sorry?”

    McKinley unclasps his hands, throws them up. “I know. I’m so sorry, I didn’t want to–” he’s making Kevin think of a wrung-out dishcloth. “Keep it from you any longer, I just felt so awful.” His face has gone red and blotchy, two twin points of pink high on his cheeks like a doll. “I thought you outta know. I know that we’re – moving away from the traditional and my SSA probably isn’t the end of the world but I felt terrible not telling you. Especially since we’re – I’d like to think we’re friends – and it’s a stressful position to put you in, and unfair, really, and don’t feel obliged to say anything at all, I just had to get it off my chest.”

    Or: falling in love is sometimes a marathon, not a sprint.

    Summary

    If Kevin Price has a crush on Connor, that’s definitely something worth pursuing. Connor is whole-heartedly behind the idea. He hasn’t been as excited about anything since he realised he didn’t actually have to be a Mormon if he didn’t want to be. But he keeps a straight - for lack of a better word - face, and only steals glimpses back. They lock eyes over the dinner table and Connor can’t help the smirk that curls his lips, and doesn’t miss the way Kevin’s face mirrors his.

    Well. Two can play at that game, Elder Price.

    Summary

    Like this, like this: Kevin is more gorgeous than ever – quiet, trying not to distract Connor or simply just staring into space, looking up and turning his head obediently whenever Connor asks him to. He is slowly, slowly becoming the boy who Connor was warned about – the boy who’d almost appeared promised by God to lead them to the successful completion of their mission – but not at the same time. His skin is more deeply tanned, his smile less perfected and more easy-going and his hair bleached-just by the sun.

    Connor can’t take his eyes off him.

    Which is why he screws up.

     

    *****

    Connor offers to cut Kevin's hair. He maybe ruins it. Kevin maybe ruins him right back.

    Summary

    Connor doesn’t mention the note, so Kevin doesn’t either. Connor is always telling Kevin to stop making everything weird. The thing is, Kevin is great at making things weird. And he really likes being good at things.

    So Kevin writes another one.

    This one says sorry about the weird note.

    The second one says, I changed my mind, I’m not really very sorry at all.

    And it’s downhill from there.

    “What are you keeping from me?” Elder McKinley asks. “I’m supposed to be your district leader, Ke- Elder, and I have to say you’re making it darn near impossible. I try to ask how you’re doing, I try to show you I’m there for you, I try to make sure you feel valued and supported by m- us, and you just… run away! Every single time, Elder! I’ve had enough of it! I will not let you leave this room until you feel cared for.”

    Kevin Price has everything under control... except for his inappropriate reaction to his district leader.

    Summary

    “Now this may come as a shock to you, but there are whole religions built on stories. Can you imagine it, Stanley? My work—er, any person’s work becoming so integral, so monumental, that others can’t help but worship it? Live their very lives by it?” He gave a giddy sigh, and it seemed to envelop Stanley.

    Sounds fake, but okay.

    (Stanley tries to understand the Pink Room. The Narrator tells the story of a woman named Eve.)

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    I'm sure given your position you already know about the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation next year, wrote Peter Lukas, to Elias Bouchard. However, the Lukas family wishes to be crystal clear that our continued investment is contingent upon the Institute taking its responsibilities with regards to privacy and confidentiality seriously.

    The Magnus Institute hires a Data Protection Officer. He sets about diligently booking in meetings, writing policy documents, and training all the staff in the importance of confidentiality. Now if only he could get hold of the Head Archivist, who seems to have vanished again...

    (Jon is only trying to save the world, but apparently some people think he should still be doing his day job.)

    But you still think about that kiss when you get home. After you clean up. After you sprawl out on the couch, trying to gather up the strength to retreat all the way to your bedroom. Women have never really done it for you. You don't really have the social skills to make guy friends, either. Honestly? Now that you think about it…

    You're afraid to die having never been loved by anyone.
