Summary
He remembered feeling content, strangely…happy. That itself was a bit unsettling. A dream, but it felt more like a memory, or perhaps a hallucination. Maybe he was in the middle of a long-overdue nervous breakdown.

Summary
Essek's heart jumped. Making him a comforting meal was a sweet gesture, but having Molly bring it to him while he laid in bed like, a- a spoiled prince,....It would be terribly selfish of him to accept that, wouldn't it? Cheeks and ears burning, he tried to protest. But, Molly just shushed and tutted away his objections. In the blink of an eye, he found himself tucked into bed resting against a mound of pillows.
-----Essek comes down with a fever. He doesn't want to take too much, but Molly is having none of it.

Summary
When Martin wakes up in the hospital, there's a man at his side he doesn't recognise. The doctors tell him that he has amnesia, but he doesn't quite understand how much he has lost until the man tells him that he's more than twice the age he remembers.
Jon. The man's name is Jon, and he seems nice and kind and... married to Martin?

Summary
“Do … do any of you three listen to, ah, the podcast ‘What the Ghost?’ at all? The last episode, particularly.”
“What the what now?”
It rang a bell, actually, now that Tim thought about it; but not in any context that made sense in the same general region as Jonathan Sims.
“Is that the podcast about hauntings?” Martin perked up a little at knowing the answer. “And, well, spooky stuff?”
And, right, that was why Tim had suffered a cognitive disconnect. The podcast was a popular, light-hearted and open-minded exploration of the supernatural, while Jon’s relationship to the supernatural was one of exasperated dismissal. Why on earth he even worked here in the first place … but that just led to thoughts of why Tim, himself, was here and to unhealed wounds and … Tim would prefer to gently mock Jon for listening to a ‘spooky’ podcast, of his own apparent volition.
“Yes, Martin, it deals with … ‘spooky’ stuff. And, also, apparently, practical jokes.”

Summary
“Oh. Well…Peter was…I mean, he was fine, actually, I think?”
Martin laughed lightly, the sound catching somewhat in his throat, blurred a little under the slow roll of the water just starting to boil.The flippancy in Martin’s voice dug at him, made something in him turn and twist and convulse. Peter had been…fine. It had all been fine. The man had forced Martin into whatever this hellishness had been, irreparably torn him down to nothing over the last year, and…and he was –
“…Fine.”

Summary
“Everyone, this is Martin Blackwood, our latest acquisition. He’s the trailblazer for the new line in modern poets. You’re going to hear great things from this guy!”
Tim tipped his glass proudly at Martin, who strove to look like a man from whom great things would duly spring. Though, with the way his nerves were rippling up and down through his body and playing the Flight of the Bumblebee on his internal organs, the only things currently liable to spring from him would be the bacon sandwich and coke he’d had for lunch.
