They simply are the best rock band in the world! Im amazed! ?. Beautiful song however it brings back bad memories... ?????.この曲無限ループのサビが最もかっこいい?. It knew I was coming. The radio cut out a few miles from the house, giving me several long seconds to contemplate the empty road. “Turn back, ” a voice came slithering out of the speaker, deep and static-choked. I clicked off the radio. “Nope. ” For nearly a minute I continued on in silence. Then a rising shriek began peeling from the dead radio. Before it got loud enough to hurt, I pulled noise cancelling headphones from my glove-box. It wasn’t unusual for a job to catch wind of me coming and to reach out to say hello. But most jobs could only affect a few hundred yards from the client. Something that could stretch out from miles away? That was new and shitty. The rest of the drive was quiet and fine. Midwinter sunshine fell easy on the fields and forests of Maryland as I passed. I was the only car on the road. Every now and then I would catch a glimpse of a shadowy figure in my back seat. I ignored it. No matter how big the job, I knew there wasn’t much it could do to me this far out. When I started to see familiar faces in the silhouette I turned my rear-view mirror up towards the ceiling. Whatever it was, it knew I was coming, it had a hell of a reach, and it was kind of a dick. _ I parked on the street next to the Hoffs' house. They lived in a tidy rancher, blue siding, willows in the yard, gravel drive, the whole nines. It was a lovely acre in a lovely neighborhood and I couldn’t look at the house without feeling nauseous. I slipped off one headphone to make sure the screaming had stopped. Quiet, so I stepped outside and took it all in. Then I took the flask of Wild Turkey from my jacket pocket. As I raised the bourbon to take a pull, I felt the dirty chill of a job’s attention. The bottle shattered in my hand. This thing was absolutely a dick. I walked up to the Hoff’s pretty blue door and tried my best to look presentable. My denim jacket was frayed and old, I was wearing a band shirt from a show I’d never been to, and I hadn't shaved in a week’s worth of Sundays. I did brush my teeth that morning, though, so I was feeling crisp. I knocked my most professional knock and waited. A noticed a little bourbon was dripping down my pants and soaking into my socks. It was a banner day, already. A couple opened the door. The wife was short and had skin like new caramel. She wore red flannel and jeans and was shockingly pretty. The husband was tall, paler than me, broad-shouldered but a little soft in the gut. Ms. Hoff seemed slightly out of his league but it’s entirely possible he was funny or something. I pegged them both as late-30s, a few years older than me, though I probably looked at least ten years their senior. My hair was already rivered with grey and I carried a perpetual hangover with me like my own personal ball and chain. Neither of the pair looked like they’d slept more than a few hours in the last week. I recognized their burnout, a reflection I’d seen many times. “I’m Eric, ” I said. “How ya doin’? ” They told me their names, which I’m redacting for privacy and because I forgot them. “Not great, ” Ms. Hoff said as they moved to let me in the door. “Kinda at the end of our rope, ” Mr. Hoff added. I nodded and tried to drag up a smile. “It’s funny how quick rope runs out. Life gets tight. Why don’t you show me the job-sorry, I mean your son? ” As we walked through the house I got a snapshot of the Hoffs' world. Family pictures dotted the walls: the couple, smiling, baby photos of a boy and a girl, school portraits, vacations, all the normal signs of a lovely life. One large group shot hung in a place of pride in the den. It was the Hoff’s and two children, a boy of about 13 and a girl maybe half that age. All four of them were posed on the beach wearing matching white shirts and blue shorts. The whole effect was cheesy and sweet and their smiles were wide and warm. I had to fight down a sudden daydream about Jen and me on the beach. Would we have taken silly photos in matching shirts if we’d had kids? Jen probably would have loved that and I would have pretended to protest but gone along anyway because… Ms. Hoff stopped at the start of the hall and turned to me, snapping me back to real life. “I have to ask, ” she said, worrying at the nails of one hand with the other. “This ’s really been a nightmare Mr. -” “Eric’s fine, ” I said. She nodded. “Eric. It’s been, ” Ms. Hoff threw up her hands. “I don’t even know how to tell you. I’m so scared for our son. ” “We’ve taken John to every doctor in the area, ” Mr. Hoff said. “We’ve taken him to three psychologists, one up all the way in Baltimore. We even asked our priest to take a look, the same one who baptized John and his sister. Nothing seems to help. ” Mr. Hoff ran a big hand through thinning blond hair. “There’s something deeply, viciously wrong with John. When I look him in the eyes, I just... I swear it’s not my son looking back at me. The eyes are his but they’re not. I know that doesn’t make sense. None of this makes-” “We need to know, ” Ms. Hoff jumped it, “we have to know that you’re on the level. I hope you can forgive us for being a little skeptical. I don’t think it’s every day you find a professional exorcist through social media. ” I fished in my jacket pocket for a business card. “Amateur exorcist. I like to stress that. ” I handed the couple some cards. “To the best of my knowledge there isn’t really a licensing committee for exorcists, so I’m reluctant to call myself a pro. Maybe semi-professional. The Vatican has its own accreditation process but it’s not like they offer it online. And I’m not exactly seminary material. So think of me as more of eelance consultant. ” “Are you bullshit? ” Ms. Hoff asked me point-blank. “No, ” I told her. “I know exactly how it sounds. And I know I’m the clean-cut edge of professionalism here. But I’m real. The genuine article. It’s pretty fucking weird but if you found me I’m guessing you’ve seen miles and miles of weird already. ” I heard the knuckles pop as Mr. Hoff made a fist. “Something took him, something is in there with John. It’s hurting him. I know it. I just don’t know how to help. ” The last part came out choked. He was determined and he was steady but he clearly had no ideas, no options for how to take the pain from his son. I understood that frustration, feeling the need to move mountains with nothing but a shovel. Hoff’s mouth was pressed in a thin line, her jaw tight. “Are you ready? ” she asked me. “Yeah. Let’s go see John. ” _ The smell hit me through the door. I coughed. “Oh Christ, ” Mr. Hoff muttered. “I’m sorry about that. The last few days it’s been worse. He’s been making messes. ” I pulled my shirt over my mouth and nose when Mr. Hoff opened the door. John’s room was dim, illuminated by a single desk lamp that split shadows from wall-to-wall. His father tried the light switch by the door but nothing changed. The boy was sitting on his bed. I guessed he was right around 13 or 14 years old. John wore jeans but no shirt or shoes. He was scratching violently at his bare, skinny torso leaving open angry red lines all across his chest. “John, ” Ms. Hoff yelled running to him and grabbing his arms. “Stop. Please stop scratching, we talked about this. You’re hurting yourself. Hoff went over to squeeze his son’s shoulder and then briefly stepped out of the room. He came back with rags and cleaning supplies and moved to the corner John had used as a bathroom. Mr. Hoff began to tidy up. The boy was staring at me, lips threatening a smile. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck and arms rise. Looking at him was like putting my hand close to an exposed live-wire. The wrongness was written all over and through him from the set of his shoulders to the twitch in his hand. Even his breathing seemed out of rhythm. John’s eyes were the worst part, empty as fresh graves waiting for a funeral. But if I looked long enough, I could see the faintest sign of something under the emptiness, swimming around inside of the boy, a shadow in deep water. “Hi, ” John said to me. His voice was young, normal, but carried an old note hidden under the rest. I ignored the thing pretending to be the boy. “We can go. ” ___ It smiled as we left. Once we were back in the Hoff’s dining room, I dropped into a chair. We probably spent less than ninety seconds in John’s room but I felt tired already. The whole experience left me feeling dirty and depressed. I noticed the Hoffs were still standing, staring at me. “Do you have anything to drink? ” I asked. Hoff walked into the kitchen. “I think we’ve got some Coke, water, of course, or I could put on coffee, or-” “No, ” I interrupted. “Anything to drink. Hoff looked confused but Ms. Hoff was already stepping around him. She opened a cabinet next to the fridge. “We’ve got some Malibu leftover from Christmas, ” Ms. Hoff said, rummaging. “And I think some vodka that’s been in here long enough it’s turning back into potatoes. ” I rubbed my eyes. “Mr. Hoff, please put that coffee on. Hoff, I’d appreciate you forever if you could bring that vodka and three mugs to the table. ” “I don’t drink, ” Mr. I looked back at John’s room. Even though I couldn’t see the thing, I knew it was glaring at me through the wall. “Now’s a great time to start, Mr. Hoff, ” I said. Once the coffee was finished, the three of us sat at the dining room table and drank. I put two fingers of vodka in each mug, then another finger’s worth in mine after my first few gulps. “Has anything traumatic, unusual, violent or otherwise exceptionally shitty happened to John recently? ” I asked.

Also, this is a much, much longer piece. ) *The first days of living with Sergeant Gale, three mixed years prior to current day. "Are you typing again-? You said you'd put that thing down and actually play the damn game! " A rude interruption, please excuse me while I defend my com-pad from the vicious homo-sapien! There we are. Now, back to that day........ The year had gone by quickly- and I do mean this in both the literal and figurative sense. Earth years are approximately two Tok-shiern months and a week shorter than our year. Give or take a few hours. I'm not going to get that specific- most of the Cooperative Galaxy doesn't care. We have set a standard of date-coordination based on the distance between war memorials and alliance officiations. I did have to use the neuro-chemial synch to explain this efficiently to Gale. Oh- and that's another thing; I have been granted official permission to call Sergeant Gale 'just Gale. ' Aboard the ship home at last, there was plenty of room for a few thousand Humans- several fleets had been traveling back and forth between our most sparsely populated outposts and the Human's beloved homeworld, and thus we no longer had to rely on the original rescue vessels to accommodate the somewhat smaller species. Gale finds it humorous that I do not wish to spar with him and thinks it is because of our height difference. I know fully well that he could win, and I am not ready for the banter that will hound me from my comrades, even though we have all witnessed Human combat first-hand. Don't get me wrong-he was tentative about the proposal when he'd first asked, but I had assured him that sparring was well accepted as appropriate behavior between allies that had performed the ritual of trust. In fact, we hold it to be a good way of strengthening that trust. None the less. I will not spar until I know how to win..... "I do share quarters with Gale, yes, but what you are implying is inaccurate, " I explained to a friend of mine, a Dquet-Obnious from my birth world. We grew up together. Inkitex gave me a look- that was her name, but for teasing I would call her 'Tex' as it was similar to 'tegs, ' a type of small, furry companion species that had only begun to think as a sentient species last year. They were not bright, but very entertaining to watch as they discovered the logic of existence. "But you despise sharing quarters with any other species- is it that he is more adept at combat that interests you? " Inkitex asked. I knew she meant well, but this was bothersome. "No- it- no. I mean it, Tex- the neuro-chemial synchronization is to help him sleep. He gets 'nightmares' about the wars he's fought in. They're terrifying-" "What is a 'nightmare'? " She asked innocently. " derive the word from an old myth about an 'evil' race, called demons, one of which called maer, which was believed to suffocate Humans in their sleep. Ancient Humans used this to explain why a person would die during the night. A 'nightmare, ' however, is a sequence of sensual feedback from the brain during sleep, but sends the Human into an uneasy or panicked state, " I explained. "Gale gets particularly vivid ones. The sights, the sounds, the scents, even the orientation of the body- wounds feel fresh, falling on the ground hurts, the scent of blood and fumes is sickening.... " I trailed off, disliking to bring these memories back into my thoughts when I had barely been rid of them for a few hours. Inkitex studied me. "That of you. To face those memories with him.... " the tone of banter was lost from her voice. I nodded. "That would be more is very stressed. His condition has caused his higher ranking comrades to consider disqualifying him from his position to preserve what he has left of his well-being, " I explained. Inkitex nodded. "He will be staying with you, then? Until his condition improves? " "Yes, that is the idea. ".... Sgt. Derren H. Gale, Delta Company USMC Force Reconnaissance. May 11th, 2045. Day 1 aboard Kiig-Ship 14. The ship was still on the Warp Pad, a goliath of some pearlescent blue material that was as strong as any of our Earth metals but far lighter. As NASA would know, weight and fuel are two things you need to worry a lot about. I didn't doubt the Toksh engineers- I've been aboard their vessels, they're very impressive- but this? This thing? It was like the first time I saw a mining truck, and the first time I saw a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy plane- too big to move, too big to fly, and this was definitely, definitely, waaay too big to get into space. I stared at it for a pretty long time, sitting on my duffle bag, head tilted. ~I'm going into that thing? ~.... My folks had arrived at the gate to say goodbye, my mothers smothering me in kisses. They had fought, too, and I knew this- but it was still so strange to see them in the same camo and olive garb that I was usually wearing. In fact, there wasn't a soul as far as the eye could see that wasn't in uniform. After all that war, you just got used to wearing it. You showered in five minutes, got dressed in five minutes, and ate your food as fast as you could, just out of sheer habit. Even my niece and nephew had started doing that.... *the kids and old folks were hidden away in bunkers for the whole war, and I guess they had formed some habits of their own. Even now, as I pulled them in for a hug, they flinched at my looming figure and crouched as if to scurry away down a tunnel. But they hugged me, clinging to me, swinging from my arms as I spun them around a few times and tried not to cry. I was really going to miss them.... "Can you bring us back somethin' cool? " "Or even just somethin' weird? " I chuckled. "Yeah, I'll bring back one of each. And I'll take lots of photos, don't you worry, " I assured them, tapping the camera feature on my wristwatch. They hung onto my shoulders as my sister, her husband, and our mothers smooshed in for the picture. They smiled big, wide smiles, their upper front teeth missing as the adult incisors were growing in place if their baby ones. I hugged them all once more, my sister especially. She clung to me, almost crushing me, and I knew from the sound if her breath that she had started crying. I couldn't hold it back anymore- I started crying too. "Darnit, you brought on these damn waterworks! How am I gonna explain this to Urshocc? " I teased her. "Shut up, stupid, you wanted to cry, " she teased me back, and we started laughing. I kissed her forehead and wiped her tears away, and she lightly punched my arm. "I love you, shorty, " I told her. "I love you, too, idiot, " she replied with a smile. I gave her another hug, just because. And then I had to walk away..... Urshocc Uiphein, Sector B Squadron 4 Toksh Special Forces Regiment Earth month of May, 11th day, 2045th year of Common Era. I came to my quarters just as the loading gates had all closed and found Gale at the desk, sketching away in his leather-bound sketchbook. Like most of his personal affects, it had the Marine Corps emblem etched onto the front of it. Gale exhaled a shaky breath, and I cursed my timing for having accidentally missed one if his panic attacks. At least, that's what I had presumed this was. I approached him carefully, making sure to drag my feet so as to make enough noise not to startle him. I was advised to avoid startling him by a Human psychiatrist. He looked up at me, eyes red from having shed tears, but smiled anyway. "Hey.... " he said, in no particular tone. "You had another panic attack? " I asked, sitting on the edge of the resting platform designated for me. *Toksh called them nests. Humans called them beds. Gale shook his head, meaning no. "Just tough to be away from the folks for a while, you know? And you've spent the whole year out here.... " I understood now. "Yes, it causes heartache. Your nephew has that com-pad I gave you still, doesn't he? " "He does. I'll be borrowing yours daily, " Gale said, his smile now genuine and unfading. I smiled as well. He was being humorous..... Hours ago, the Warp had activated, and we were now hurtling through loops of space fabric, any objects potentially obstructing our path being forced aside with the wave of plasma that shielded the front of the craft. There was no resistance in space, but warp travel didn't need the specifics of linear motion to get from location to location quickly and effectively. The Warp Pad on my birth world would, as I explained it to Gale, 'snatch our ship out of the sky and put it down where it needed to be within a few milliseconds. ' We had explored some of the ship thus far, and were now at the serene pools on deck 94. Apparently, I still had much to learn about Humans. Apparently, none of us realized that they could swim. "What are you just standing there for? Everyone's in the water, it's a great temperature, " Gale told me. We had met up with Inkitex, and she and I stared at him, dumbfounded. "You can swim? " "Yeah, duh. Webbed hands, " he said, holding up his hands, the pinkish skin between his digits now striking me as what he meant by 'webbing. ' Inkitex held up a finger in questioning. "But you are not currently using your hands to swim, " she stated. Gale smiled and chuckled a little at that. "Well, no, but I have to kick a lot harder if I'm not using them. " By now, I was over my initial dumbfoundedness, and had plunged into the water beside him. Inkitex still stood on the edge. "Why is your species adapt to swim-? " "Well, of our planet is covered in water. We just had to, I guess, " Gale shrugged. Inkitex shook her head, which in her race's language meant she was impressed. She hopped onto the water's surface and paddled for a bit, Gale watching her as he'd likely never seen something so bizarre, and she dove under the surface to examine how Gale swam. Gale followed her, and she moved

Seven years ago I met the girl who could find the seams. “You’ve got to see what Dani can do. ” ? I let myself be dragged across the park, passed the swings and to the big oak tree, where a girl with long black hair sat with a pile of books beside her. She looked up at the small crowd of fellow children surrounding her, sighed, and set down her book. “Can I help you? ” ? My best friend at the time, Jacob, beamed and plopped a stuffed bear on her lap. “Do the thing! Luca hasn’t seen you do it yet! ” He said. ? Dani looked at me and my gaze immediately went to my shoes. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to, ” I murmured, feeling embarrassed about all the fuss my friend was causing. Jacob scoffed and crossed his arms. “You don’t even know what she does yet! Come on Dani, show him! ” “I don’t mind showing you, ” She said before picking up the bear. She brushed her fingers against its face and she smiled before she took her middle finger and ran it from the top of its head to its tummy. Like she’d taken a sharp knife to it, the bear split open, revealing white stuffing and the red heart that had been stuffed in there when Jacob got it. She lifted it up to show it to all of us, before plopping it back on her lap and running her finger along the tear. When she pulled her hand away, the bear was whole again, like she’d never ripped it open. ? Jacob scooped the bear back up and turned to me. “Cool, right? ” He asked. I shrugged. “I dunno. I guess? ” I said, knowing I probably looked less that convinced. Dani smiled then and got to her feet. “Okay. What do you want to see the inside of? ” She asked. ? I glanced around the playground before pointing to the swing set. “That. Can you cut that with your finger? ” I asked. I might’ve only been a kid, but I was definitely not convinced by just cloth. ? Dani nodded and walked over, the crowd of kids following her in awe. She patted the chain of the pink swing before her finger sliced right through one of the links. The chain came free and then she proceeded to slice open the plastic of the seat. She picked up the mangled swing, spinning around to show how it really wasn’t attached at all, before she reattached it. All with the touch of her finger. Now that convinced me. I probably looked like an idiot, just standing there with my jaw dropped while everyone else just clapped. “How do you do that? ” I asked in wonder. Dani shuffled her feet, a small smile on her lips. “Everything has a seam I can pop open. I can do it to anything, ” She admitted. ? I dug through my pockets and managed to pull out my 3DS. “Can you open this up? ” I asked. For the rest of the afternoon, Dani demonstrated her unique and bizarre powers to us. She did open up my 3DS, showing off all the electronics inside, and once she fixed it back up it booted up just like nothing had happened. She opened up a Rubix Cube, part of a branch, the monkey bars, whatever we asked she would demonstrate. Only if no adults were close though, one of the other kids suggested she open up one of the cars in the parking lot and she refused. ? One by one we all went home for dinner until it was just me and Dani. I was pretty awkward at that age, so we just stood in silence for an uncomfortably long time before I finally piped up with the question on my mind: “What do you want to open up? ” ? She stared at me in surprise for a bit before she shrugged. “I… I don’t know. I don’t really do it for myself anymore. I just do it so everyone else likes me, ” She said. ? I plopped down on the ground and pulled out my 3DS. “I don’t have to be home for a while longer, my parents are working late. Want to play some games with me? ” I asked. I don’t think anyone really asked Dani to do something with them before that didn’t involve her cutting some random object open. But she slowly nodded and sat beside me, and until it got dark we played games. I probably would’ve stayed out longer if the red light signifying red battery didn’t start glaring at us. ? “I’ll come back and play with you tomorrow, okay? ” I said, sticking it in my pocket. Dani was grinning from ear to ear, her smile filled with joy. “I’d really like that, Luca, ” She said. That summer I spent a lot of time in the park. Of course it was fun watching Dani cut open whatever object we brought her, but it was more fun just…. Talking with her. She was a really nice girl, after all, just quiet. There were several times I’d be playing my 3DS while she’d watch and she’d end up falling asleep on my shoulder. She told me most nights she spent wandering around her home rather than sleeping. She never slept well. Then one day I came to the park while it was raining. I had the stomach ache of a lifetime but I wanted to see Dani. And she was there, as always. The rain was more of a mist in the air rather than a downpour, but I was more than glad to take a seat under the tree. ? Dani, of course, immediately picked up that something was off. “What’s wrong? You don’t look so good, ” She asked, pulling her knees up to her chest. “Stomach ache. Mom said there’s a flu going around, so don’t get too close, ” I said. “What, or you’ll barf all over me? ” Dani giggled before something clicked in that head of hers. “… Luca, you know when you asked me earlier this summer what I’d really want to open the seam of? ” ? I nodded. “I lied… I… Kinda want…” She blushed a little and murmured the next sentence so quietly I could barely make it out. “I kinda wanna see if a person has a seam. ” I responded by wiggling out of my t-shirt. “Sure! Maybe you can see what’s wrong with my stomach! ” I said. I know, what kind of dumb ass move is that, but I was a kid and what kid isn’t a little curious about what goes on inside them? Dani clearly didn’t expect my enthusiastic consent, but she did a little dance in place before glancing around. “No one else is out here, but let’s go behind the bushes. Just in case, ” She said. Excitement brimming between the two of us, we hid behind the bushes as I laid down on the ground, staring up at the gray sky. It was peaceful back here. “Okay, just start checking, ” I said. Dani knelt above me and her cold fingers ran over my chest. I tried not to squirm since I was so ticklish. For several quiet seconds I just laid there, wondering when she’d start. “You can start whenever, ” I said, thinking she was losing courage. “I’ve already started…” I glanced down and sure enough, she had. I hadn’t felt a thing but my skin over my torso had been opened right up, cut down from the top of my sternum to below my belly button. Skin, muscle and ribs were just pulled open and to the sides so Dani could dig around in my guts. She slit open my stomach and I saw remnants of digested food, the pancakes I’d had for breakfast. She sealed that back up quickly so nothing was disturbed as she proceeded to run her fingers through my intestines. “That’s so cool, ” I whispered, afraid if someone caught us now the little spell she had over me would be broken. “I’m not even bleeding. ” ? It was true, there was not a single blood drop lost. Nothing seemed desperate to pop out of me either. It was just… there. I could see my heart beating, my lungs inflating and deflating with each level breath. I should’ve been afraid, but I wasn’t. I was just fascinated to see what was going on inside of my body. “There’s something wrong. ” ? Dani scowled as she continued to prod and then I felt a bit of hot pain. “Careful! ” I hissed. “Sorry! I don’t really know how, but I think something’s really wrong in here. Hold still, I’m putting you back together. ” ? I stayed still as she finished zipping up my chest. I sat up and poked at my chest as if I expected my seam to burst open and everything to come spilling out all at once. “What do you mean, something’s wrong? ” ? Dani shrugged. “I don’t know. I really don’t. I just looked around in there and something doesn’t feel right to me. Go talk to your mom, I think she needs to take you to the doctor. Did you really not feel anything? When I cut your seam? ” ? I shook my head and got to my feet, grimacing as that pain from my gut flared up. “Not a thing. You’re awesome, Dani. I’m gonna go home now though, ” I said. “Please hurry. ” I went home and somehow managed to nag my mom long enough into taking me to the doctor’s office about my stomach ache. Course, I’m sure you guessed by now it wasn’t just a stomach ache. Appendicitis. Luckily it was all taken out before anything bad happened, but I was bedridden for two weeks. When I was finally well enough to play, I couldn’t find Dani at the park. Asking around revealed she hadn’t been back since that rainy day. ? She was gone. And she didn’t come back into my life until the beginning of this school year. ? I barely recognized her at first. I’m not really a tall guy, but even compared to your average guy Dani was practically a tree. She cut her hair short and she’d grown up, but I saw her face and I knew. “Dani! ” ? I ran up to her and nearly plowed her over in my eagerness to get to her. Dani nearly jumped out of her skin as she looked down at me, then she realized who I was. “Luca? Is that you? ” She asked. I nodded eagerly, probably looking like an idiot. “Yes! Oh my god, Dani, you’re tall! ” I said. When she smiled, I felt like I was a kid in the park, all over again. “… And you’re still Luca. I’m so glad… I’m so glad to see you, ” She said before giving me a quick hug. “Do you have lunch next period? We can talk then, catch up? ” I barely touched my food because I was just too excited to talk to Dani. She was on the girl’s basketball team, was already saving up money for college in a few years. She wanted to be a vet. Meanwhile all

Part 1 Part 2 "Not like this, brother. This was not how things were supposed to go. " "It's okay, Mr. Frockle" I chimed in. "I understand this is what I have to do and I've made my peace with it. I just hope Charlie will understand. " -- Every morning since we moved to the new house, I would get up, stretch and open the big window in the bedroom. Usually I would be alone for this as Charlie went to work pretty early but this morning he hadn't gotten up from bed yet. He was really awfully sick and we were out of caramels. All I had were those fabulous bittersweet peach gums. I didn't want to hurt Mr. Frockle's feelings but there was nothing sweet about that bubblegum. It tasted awful and I wanted to spit it out right after he gave it to me. That would have been rude though, so I chewed the gum and told him how delicious it tasted while I listened to the things he told me. Sometimes lying is important. For example, when you don't want to hurt someone's feelings and I really didn't want to hurt Maximilian Frockle. Not after the agreement we had considering Charlie. The one secret that I'd kept. So that morning instead of having sour lime caramel I fulfilled my cravings with the disgusting gum. I felt fine, actually pretty clear but I hated what this situation was doing to Charlie. After he finally accepted that he couldn't simply murder the brothers, he spent every moment that he wasn't throwing up with planning and scheming. I felt terrible for my poor, sweet Charlie. Yeah maybe he was a bit different than everyone else here but that doesn't mean he deserved any of what happened. I'm getting ahead of myself. Charlie was still in bed but he was doing a bit better. I knew how much he resented the caramels so I offered him some of the fabulous bittersweet peach gum that. I figured that he might even like it, with his weird taste buds and all. "Is that what you're chewing on right now? " "Yeah" I said and made a big pink bubble that popped a second later. Charlie even laughed at the sight of it. I could tell he was thinking hard again but then he threw the little pink ball in his mouth and started chewing. "It's not too bad. " he said and shrugged. I couldn't help but laugh at that. "It's fucking terrible" For the first time in a week, Charlie laughed as well. For a moment we forgot about our troubles. His smile grew bigger. Bigger than I had seen in a while. He grabbed me by the shoulders and started laughing hysterically. "Sammie did you just swear? " I shrugged. I didn't get what he was hinting at then. "Sammie. Did you have any of that Frockle's fucking caramel today? " I hadn't which was very unnatural for me. This was the first time since… Well since I was born that I didn't start my day off with the candy. And for the first time I was absolutely fine with it. I didn't crave it at all. I even felt a bit revolved by the thought of it. "Must be the pregnancy" he concluded. --- "Wonderful evening to you, Mrs. Clerkins. Is your husband home by any chance? " It was our neighbor Mr. Gillster. He had a big smile on his face. This normally wouldn't be too odd, I've never seen him not smiling. This one wasn't quite right though, he had pinned the edges of his mouth to his cheeks making his voice sounds slightly distorted. "I'm afraid not" I responded. "Well if that isn't a shame. Would you know where he could be or when he will be back? " I shook my head. "I don't mean to make any trouble love but could you give me a heads up when Mr. Clerkins is back? I have a wee question to ask him! " "Absolutely, Mr. I'll make sure to let him now. Bye bye now! " I slammed the door in his face. He must have been the 10th neighbor ringing our doorbell only in the last 20 minutes. Each time someone rang the bell, their jolly looks were even more static. And they all asked for Charlie. They knew damn well that he was inside and that I was lying. So far they were still trying to be friendly and polite though. "How many are they now? " Charlie asked while making sure to stay away from the window. "Like 40. Looks like their kids are joining as well" I said while staring at the mass of people in front of our home. "Even more are in front of the candy store" Maximilian had put up the "CLOSED" sign right after I had left with the bubblegum. "Fuck Sammie. They all think it's my fault. " "But it's not. Ma-" The doorbell rang. It was Kristen. Miles was standing right behind her. He was holding a bat with spikes hammered in. "Sammie we know he's in there. I can smell him" Kristen was pushing her teeth together forcing the words to come out. "We don't want to hurt you. All we want is some fantastic sour lime caramel, Sammie. You understand that right? Right? " Miles came closer "just let us take him. We've decided. The whole town agrees. " "Listen Sam, nobody wants to hurt you. We all love you, you know that right? We just want him. He needs to be punished and you know it. " I hadn't even noticed that everyone else had come closer. The entire town was standing behind my friends. All staring and smiling while holding a variety of weapons. "Sammie go inside. " Charlie whispered in my ear. Before I could even react, Miles and Kristen had pulled him outside. I couldn't even say a word or give him a kiss, let alone a hug. I had to watch how my husband was being ripped into pieces by the horrific people of Hickling. His blood was splashed over the concrete. They took what was left of him and taped it to the store front of Frockle's candy shop. If there had been just a bit of doubt left inside of me it was gone now. Maximilian and Maurice Frockle were standing inside, looking through the blood tainted window of the store. In their hands they were holding big bags filled with something that resembled the fantastic sour lime caramels but instead of the typical caramel brown and lime green swirl they were black and red. The people didn't care though, they all started clapping as the smell of caramel filled the streets once again. Nobody but me noticed how terrible the smell really was. It smelled rotten. The town's people of Hickling didn't mind though and they started cheering and shouting as the Frockle brothers threw the peculiar candy into the crowd. They threw themselves on the ground and filled their mouths like pigs that hadn't been fed in days. It wasn't easy for me to stay calm but I had to be patient and wait. As Maurice threw out the last pieces of candy, Maximilian cleaned up the bloody remains of my husband and brought what was left of him inside the store. I took a deep breath in and held my stomach, one single tear rolled down my cheek as I saw the entire town's folk of Hickling slowly falling to the ground like domino pieces. I could hardly get through to the store, fighting my way through the still bodies lying on the ground. As I reached the candy shop Maurice greeted me with a sad look on his face. This was the very first time I had ever seen him without a smile. "Are you sure about this Sammie? " "Yes. Fuck Hickling. " We walked inside the store where Maximilian was putting Charlie back together. "It might take a little but he will be absolutely fine and healthy again. The bubblegum is even more miraculous than I imagined. " Maximilian Frockle said excitedly. He gave me a big smile "I am so glad you decided to take over the store, Sammie. You were always my favourite person in Hickling. I'm glad your parents chose for you to stay back then. " "It wasn't a very hard decision. I simply picked my family over everyone else" I sighed "They are not all dead, right? I'll need to start somewhere" "No, " Maximilian laughed "only a few. You'll need some fuel. Let's hope it's the awful ones. Although they are all awful in their own way. " I nodded. I wasn't lying. It really was an easy decision. After Maximilian Frockle gave me the bittersweet peach gum, I could finally think straight. As he told me the story of Hickling I was in disbelief but after seeing what these people did to my poor Charlie it made a lot more sense. Little did those monsters know that neither of us would be dying anytime soon. The story my grandpa had told me years ago was only partially true. I don't know if he was too ashamed to admit the rest of it or whether they really all forgot but there was a lot more to the Frockle's. Maximilian and Maurice Frockle have spent all their life traveling the world to explore the finest locations and build up relationships with communities in need for some sweetness. Maximilian is the most marvelous candy maker in the world and Maurice loves his brother so much that he has been supporting every aspect of his profession. He knows that it is their destiny to share the candy with the world and ignite Maximilian's spark. They had only good things in mind when they found Hickling all those years ago but the people here were nasty, cruel beings. They didn't accept any newcomers, especially not those who were in the slightest different. While they tolerated the inconspicuous and clean cut Maurice, they absolutely hated Maximilian and his store. They threw bricks into his store, painted degrading slurs on the window and threw their trash and shit inside just so the wonderful candy store would smell and people would stay out of it. For no other reason than the fact that they couldn't deal with anything new or different or in any way creative. As one time a little girl found its way to the store, Maximilian was happier than he had been in years and offered her a free sparkling rainbow lollipop. The girl thanked him with a big smile on her face and ran home to show her siblings who hadn't seen anything like this before. When the parents found out that Maximilian Frockle had given their daughter free candy, they started some terrible rumours. Rumors about Maximilian doing awful
