After her incredibly fucking strange thing with Auggie on the beach, Karen made her way immediately to the compound, searching out Nick. The weird trippy thing didn't happen again, but she felt weird the entire way, even when she did her best to keep away from people. Utica seemed to sense her agitation, and barked at everyone who passed by ( Read more... )

It was an inevitable fact about the island; eventually, everyone you love left ( Read more... )

There were several things about waking up that morning that were nothing out of the ordinary for Tony. It was early. There was a warm body next to him ( Read more... )

After enough time spent on the island and getting to learn its varying levels of weirdness, Karen knew there was nothing she could really do when, for three days in a row, all she get off the bookshelf was the same reel of The Office. And she knew if she ever wanted to watch another movie or read another book or comic or magazine again, she was ( Read more... )

Really, he noticed shit was off. He just didn't perceive it quickly, which was why, despite finding the arm around him not as familiar as it fucking should have been, he didn't wake up immediately. It ( Read more... )

The best part about being on the island was that all Karen had to do to go to the beach was change into a bikini and step into her front yard. It was easy access, and on days when she felt completely lazy and wanted to relax (like today), she just spread out a giant beach towel and settled in with a book. Maybe some comics, if she was in the mood ( Read more... )

Give or take a day, Karen had officially arrived on the island a year ago after braving a bat in the office with Angela. And they'd had another giant bat to deal with a few days ago, which kinda just made everything come full circle in a creepy, almost terrifying kind of way. (Honestly, first giant moths, then giant bats, what was next, giant ( Read more... )
