    A is for Asphyxiation

    ***

    He should have been more careful. 

    As he leans back against the sticky wall of a bathroom stall, legs tented in front of him, breaths reduced to wheezing gasps, all he can think is that he really should have been more careful. It doesn't matter that Doc Magoo’s is frequented by most of the staff at County. There's never any guarantee of safety when it comes to combining new kitchens and severe allergies. John, at 23, knows this, as John at 13 did too. 

    OR

    Carter goes into anaphylactic shock only a few weeks into his stint at County.

    Summary

    The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

    Summary

    “You ain’t cussin’ at me,” Mal says indignantly, and rolls up his coat to shove it between the crate and Simon’s neck. “Don’t feel right.”

    Simon actually laughs at that, a small little huff that bursts out of him, then turns into a pained gasp; he tilts until his forehead ends up pressed into Mal’s shoulder and he’s drawing shallow, shaky breaths against Mal’s shirt.

    Summary

    It all started with a book.
    You weren’t supposed to touch it.
    A restricted project at the Smithsonian — a “sensitive artifact,” they called it. As a conservationist, your job was just to analyze the material.
    Then you touched it.

    One moment you’re in 2031, cataloging a creepy relic.
    The next, you’re in 1931 — deep in the Mississippi Delta — dealing with vampires, witches and the likes…

    Summary

    In 1932 Memphis, salvation costs too much, and sin might be the only freedom left. Her father taught her to fear the devil. He never told her that the devil might look like a man, or sound like a savior, or bleed music when he smiles.

    Miriam Moore, older sister of Sammie Moore, ran off to Memphis to sing the Blues. Remmick is drawn to her voice and the power it hides. Music conjures spirits. Love invites ruin.

    (Takes place in months leading up to the events of the movie.)
