    Summary

    "The Major's my father," Stebbins spits out the words at the wheels of the half-track rumbling on in front of them with what little energy is left in his body. The red rim of his eyelids glimmer as he looks up at the Major. "I'm his bastard."

    Ray stares at him. The actual meaning of his words take some time to penetrate the coldness in his chest that's slowing all his thoughts, but when they do, he looks at the Major to see his reaction. When he sees that there is none, he looks back at Stebbins, and the awful, raw edges of his expression, and then back to the Major, hoping for Stebbins' sake, that the man at least fucking reacts. However, when he looks back at the Major, he is no longer there. Instead, a cavernous hole decides to open up beneath the half track with a roar not too dissimilar to that of the carbines, swallowing the entire vehicle whole.

    A moment later, a great watery crash rings out from miles below them.

    Summary

    Down on the ground, still moving with the same perfect composure, 88 steps across the blood. His face is as blank as ever, but his foot draws a jagged red smear along the road, new blots of crimson forming as his right foot rises and descends with the regularity of a metronome.

    It'll be your turn soon enough, Billy thinks.

    Summary

    Barkovitch is a werewolf. Stebbins is a vampire. Parker is a hunter.

    None of them should be here, in the same room. But here they are, all in the same house. Why did Stebbins bring both of them here? A hunter and two monsters should not be anywhere near each other, after all. It's already grotesque that a vampire and a werewolf co-habit the same space.

    And the full moon is slowly approaching...

    Summary

    "Ma, are ghosts real?" he asks one day out on the porch, shaded from the sun.

    She's got a cigarette pressed to the seal of her lips. She blows out a ring of smoke— it catches in his nostrils, and he scrunches his nose. His ma's face does that thing where it goes saggy and twisted, like a sad statue, and she pretends he isn't there until she realizes he won't go away.

    "Fuck kinda question's that?" she mutters. "No, boy, ghosts ain't real. There's just us. The living."

    He wants to say more, wants to ask but what if you saw one, what if you saw dead boys walking in the street, ma. But the words dry in his mouth, and his ma is quiet again, so he slips through the door in two breaths.

    gary barkovitch is haunted by the dead, or maybe the living
