The coffeemaker he'd bought on the second day of the January sales took up most of the counter space. Jack was okay with that. He didn't cook and his brain ran on coffee.

Madan pulled the hood of his cloak further over his forehead. The stinging cold that hung between the mountains hadn’t bothered him since he’d become a Shade, but the water dripping into his eyes was annoying.

Jack had never seen so much blood. It seeped into the sand, and the size of the spreading dark pool threatened his focus. He kept checking, measuring while he mentally computed how much blood Gareth had lost. How much more he could afford to lose.

“Are you insane?” Matisse stared at the man on the other side of the desk, convinced he couldn’t have heard aright.
His day had begun normally enough until a cop had pulled him over right outside New Scotland Yard and told him he’d been speeding.

Ask what? Are you an art thief who wields a knife?

Glimpses: A Halloween-Flavoured Attempt to Take Care of Jack
Glimpses: A Halloween-Flavoured Attempt to Take Care of Jack
This is a post from the autumn of 2019, resurrected because a) it's Halloween again, b) not much has changed where Jack, Gareth, and their family are concerned, and c) A Simple Mistake is finally done and out - and back in 2019, I wrote this as a 'what happens after the end of ASM' kind of story! I'm still not one for ghosts and ghouls, or trick and treating - so trying to write a Halloween story was always going to be a stretch.
