    Summary

    “Will I not dream?” Jon asks. There’s no compulsion to the question, just a tight line of anxiety that has Elias’ hand drifting over and smoothing across Jon’s forehead calmingly. Brushing his bangs aside over and over again like a child.

    “I don’t know,” Elias answers. “No one knows. No one has ever done what we will do, ever in the history of mankind. Everything we experience will be a discovery.”

    The night before their apocalypse, Jon and Elias share a quiet evening.

    Summary

    The sculpture is afraid of the tides of its rebirth and its purpose, but Jonah won’t let it escape; after all, idols belong in their temples, in the arms of their most devout worshipper.

    Summary

    Jon looks up at Tim, whose eyes are fixed on the road, two fingers tapping out a rapid tattoo on the steering wheel. Who, Jon realizes, hasn’t actually looked at him once this whole time.

    “This is real,” Jon says. His voice is hoarse with disuse.

    Tim’s fingers go still on the wheel. He finally looks over at Jon—just a quick glance, before he returns his gaze to the road.

    “Yeah, Jon,” he says. He sounds exhausted. “This is real. Put your seatbelt on.”

    --

    Tim rescues Jon from the Circus. Jon isn't quite sure why.

    Summary

    “You look like a deer in headlights,” that was the last thing Jarod said to him before their little scuffle, one that ended with Jon escaping with a couple of bumps on his head.

     

    A deer in headlights, he remembers clearly. The protrusions growing out of his head are very clearly the beginnings of antlers. “That asshole.”
