It should have been quite a relief, to have such undisputed confirmation that he wasn't, in fact, out of his mind. It should have given him some comfort that she was well and truly gone. That he was free of her. Free of those shackles, weighting down his every step. After such a very long time without her voice whispering in his ear, nearly ( Read more... )

Since discovering, via Sookie telling him, that his baby sister was dating here on the island, Jason had been doing a lot of thinking. Thinking was never really an easy thing for him, and got no easier when it was about how he should handle Sookie picking a new beau.

Nick hadn't been joking whenever he told Karen that the clothes box had apparently decided to wage war on him. It happened, every so often; it was a hazard of life on the island, after all.

There wasn't much by way of lounging on the beach these days, not unless you wanted to end up with a serious case of hypothermia and possibly be pummeled to death, but George liked actual winter all the better. Sure, it meant tracking snow in from outside and the accompanying puddles of water that invariably got stepped in after one or the other ( Read more... )

What was quite worse, if you happened to be keeping track of the life of Violet Baudelaire (if you happen to be, you have my gravest sympathy), than the horrible dream of three weeks ago was that apparently it wasn't a dream at all. If you listened to the Island's inhabitants who had been around a great deal longer then Violet had, they'd all gone ( Read more... )
