Summary
When Martin walks out of The Lonely, he feels cold and invisible. It’s like he doesn’t really exist, which is exactly how he felt for most of the last year. Invisible and slowly fading away in isolation, Martin feels like the fog and salt from this godforsaken beach still cling to him. He is used to it, and he isn’t sure he ever would have made it out of there without help.
But as it is, the only part of him that feels warm and alive, is his hand that is currently clutching Jon’s like a lifeline.-

Summary
Jon is not used to being touched in ways that don’t hurt, so he waits for the sharp, shooting pain to set in at any given point in time. It never does. Despite her earlier threats, neither Nikola nor anyone else actually makes a move to skin him alive - yet.. It should be a small comfort, but it is not - the unspoken “yet” keeps hanging over his head like a dark promise.

Summary
Once upon a time, it might have been possible to reach him, but those days are long gone by now. Too much has happened, and Tim has seen and lived through too much of it all.
The truth is, he is tired - and tired is way too light to put it.As he sits on a stack of boxes in the storage room, staring ahead into a dusty shelf full of mismatched statements and who knows how much other random crap, he thinks of dying.

Summary
Martin stares at the door, through the half dark room that is only illuminated by the last bits of sunlight that come in through the window at the other side of his small living room. Even in the half-shadows, his eyes can make out the moving slither of another bloody worm.
Martin hates them with a passion - he replaces the knife in his hand with the corkscrew from the floor and fixes the worm in a cold stare.-

Summary
One moment, Martin steps into the forest, happy and relaxed, and in the next moment a massive thunderstorm is starting to brew. The change in weather comes entirely unexpected, even for the highlands, and Martin feels like there is something deeply, deeply wrong. He can’t tell exactly why, but he just knows that this isn’t a normal thunderstorm. Almost as soon as he turns on his heel to head back into the house, heavy rain starts pouring down. Droplets like drums, howling wind and the deep set feeling that something isn’t right stay with Martin the entire time.
He starts running, worried beyond measure. So much so that he doesn’t even look up.
If he did, he would see that the sky is now blinking.-
A thunderstorm. Right before the apocalypse - and after. Neither Jon or Martin copes well.

Summary
Jon is afraid for his life.
Part of him feels like he doesn’t have any right to be afraid - not anymore. And maybe, just maybe, Daisy had been right, wanting to kill him. “Put down the monster” as she had put it, and as much as the phrasing hurts, Jon can’t help but keep thinking about it.
He’d been deadly afraid in that forest, when he’d been forced to watch Daisy kill Michael Crew and he’d been so sure that he’d be next. The sad thing? He isn’t sure if Basira did the right thing in stopping Daisy from killing him right on the spot.-

Summary
It’s almost funny, how mundane it is compared to everything else.
Slipping and falling, injuring himself in a way that plenty of people do on a daily basis somehow seems unlikely now, that Jon is no longer entirely human - let alone in the middle of a fear apocalypse.-

Summary
The weather on the day of Tim Stoker's funeral is beautiful. It’s neither cold nor hot, and there is a slight wind going. For once, it doesn't rain.
'Rain might have been a tiny bit overkill with the melodrama' Tim thinks, and shifts on the spot once again. He remains hidden as he watches the small group of people mourn.-

Summary
Day after day, for weeks and months, Martin remains seated on the uncomfortable plastic chair next to the hospital bed, fighting the urge to hold Jon’s hand. He would love to do so - but he doesn’t know if it would be welcome, if the other man was awake. So, Martin sits on his hands, until they feel numb and stiff. It makes him more uncomfortable, but it is enough to stop from fidgeting, at least.
