    Summary

    Here, in this Parisian hospital room, Alice and Armand begin their last collaboration: Daniel’s life story. They’re putting it together; no, they’re taking it apart. Events take place, relative to other events. One damn thing after another. But that’s how all stories work.

    In 1973, Daniel Molloy meets a stranger in Polynesian Mary’s.
    In 1974, he meets Alice and they move to New York City together.

    Summary

    “So how’s Columbia?”

    “Screw you,” says Rory thinly, passing him the half of the scone that’s left. It’s cherry, anyway, his favorite. (What else is she supposed to do with her hands? Where should she put them now so she doesn’t slip up and reach for him?)

    “Yeah.” Jess brushes her fingers with his cold ones as he takes the paper bag, purposeful and spiteful, proving nothing she doesn’t already know. “Right back at you.”

    or, jess and rory across manhattan, relearning each other. call it fate, call it karma.

    Summary

    A moment passes. Inside, the party continues, oblivious. If Damon doesn't say anything, it might be hours before anyone else realizes what has happened. No one else will know except for you and him. And you won't really know anyway because you'll be dead.

    (that one night in august 1995.)

    Summary

    Damon and Alex were arguing in a pleasant hum about the best way to get rid of a ghost. Damon insisted that the ghost materialized to warn Alex of something unresolved in his life. Graham wished he were a cat or a dog or a kind of burrowing creature so he could crawl in his lap and hide himself in the space between Damon’s collarbone and his Adam’s apple, chew his throat to pieces with his sharp teeth.

     

    There was a ghost in the halls of residence.
