“I still find it hard to believe you’re a robot. I know you are, you’ve shown me, but you’re just so… um…” Farah trails off, stirring her milkshake.
“Lifelike?” Todd suggests.
“No, uh, the word I was thinking was ‘messy’, but that’s a little rude.” -

Summary
"I'm crying," he said, more plainly than he'd thought it would come out.
Alex reached up slowly, wiping at Bobby's cheeks for him. Gentle. So gentle. It almost felt real. "Yeah, you are," he said softly. His face had gone completely white. "You wanna talk about that?"
Bobby shook his head. "I wanna wake up."

Summary
The Wizard King’s reputation preceded him wherever he went, wherever the roaming form of his impossible moving castle carried him. His was a reputation drenched in blood and carnality, in licentious desires and grisly ends. A reputation of dangerous beauty, intoxicating charm; of a smile sharp when it grinned into the bright young faces of hapless townspeople, and sharper still when it sank into their chests to taste their beating hearts.
A chilling little story, to be sure, and a concerning one to have slunk its way to their doorstep, but Edwin wasn’t overly worried about it.
After all, the Wizard King only ate the hearts of the pretty ones.
He was Edwin Payne of Payne & Sons Bespoke Tailoring; he was always and only of Payne & Sons. Such was his station in life, a role he himself was tailor-made for. A role he fit like a drab but finely-crafted glove. And so it went—until the day a wizard and a witch conspired to turn his tidy little life upside down.

Summary
“Todd, stop. Stop! It's 5:00 a.m., and you want to climb a tree looking for a rabbit.”
“No, I want to - a- ha! ”
Todd pounces in the grass and comes up a moment later, rabbit squirming in his scratched hands. He beams as he holds it out to Farah.
“See?” he says. “Told you I could - ow!”
What if Dirk was actually in the rabbit?

Summary
The other boy slowly lowers his arm back to his side as he meets Charles’ gaze. His eyes are scrutinizing. “There isn’t time, unfortunately,” he says, hushed, “for a full explanation. So, in short order: my name is Edwin Payne, yes, I too was sacrificed to Sa’al by my classmates at St. Hilarion’s, and both of our souls have been traded to the creature that resides here. Unlike Sa’al, the creature has no qualms about torturing souls and prefers to chase its prey. It will be following the trail I have left behind. Hide here. I will lead it off.”
Or: Charles Rowland is sacrificed in the same ritual that killed Edwin Payne, seventy-three years earlier, only a short time before Edwin would have made it out of Hell on his own. Now, instead of being responsible for only himself, Edwin's got to get the both of them out of Hell. It's not going to be easy.
