He’ll fall upon his knees, and he’ll say to you- he’ll beg you to stay. He will tell you it can’t be anyone but you, he will tell you that you are the one, he will tell you that you have been chosen. He will tell you the gods are on your side, and you’ll…
Sick Day – Part 12
Nolan stares, flabbergasted, at the open door in front of him. They’d walked to the dormitory much like they’d walked to the nurse’s office: squished together with Nolan in the center. Logan had said they were going to the dorms so that Nolan could get some rest. This wasn’t Nolan’s room. “Welcome to our room!”…
Sick Day – Part 11
“Hello?” Nolan looks around the room, walls painted a creamy white. “Yeah, he’s been sorta out of it…” The color reminds him of eggshells. “-fever too, maybe.” He hasn’t had boiled eggs in a while. Maybe he should try making them on his own? “-lan.” Did he have anything for breakfast today? “Nolan.” Maybe a…
Sick Day – Part 10
“Need some help there, Alex?” Logan’s laughter draws both their attention. “Yes,” Alexander says shortly. “I can… I can stand on my own,” Nolan says. “Let go.” “No.” Logan steps up beside the two. “You’ll fall over if you try that.

The floor is grey, he notes, with speckles of color embedded every few inches. He wonders if there’s any pattern to them. It…
Sick Day – Part 6
Nolan opens his mouth to respond, pausing to comprehend what Logan said, before snapping it shut ferociously. “What’s it t’ you?” Logan raises his hands in mock surrender. “Dude, you almost just fell on your face. I’d say that’s pretty concerning, yeah? Just wanna know if you’re okay.” “But what’s it to you?” Nolan asks…
