summary: all-human. you met him, for the first time, when you were ten.
You met him, for the first time, when you were ten. He was skinny then, too-big ears and an abnormal obsession with apple juice.
(Not that you’d been watching him.)
You thought, I like you.
You thought, Want my apple sauce?
You said, Emmett is a funny name.
But he’d smiled like he heard the first two and kissed you right on the lips, strawberry lipsmackers and all.
A year later, his family moved.
But freshman year someone grabs your hand in the hall; you almost don’t recognize him under all that muscle. This time his dimples say finder’s keepers.

summary: esme coddles and time passes and the world ends then reassembles. the universe shrinks.
You never wanted to live forever. Except in the way that your children would have children, that there would always be a piece of you alive.
(The walls are on fire. This isn’t what you wanted either.)
But fate doesn’t take requests and, funny, how you never believed in destiny before. So your heart feels purple and bloated in your chest, and Esme coddles and time passes and the world ends then reassembles. The universe shrinks. Everyone’s lives become smaller. To hide would be to bury oneself.
The villagers come.
(You clasp her hand in yours. Outside, the dirt shrieks.)
