    Summary

    “Oh. Well…Peter was…I mean, he was fine, actually, I think?”
    Martin laughed lightly, the sound catching somewhat in his throat, blurred a little under the slow roll of the water just starting to boil.

    The flippancy in Martin’s voice dug at him, made something in him turn and twist and convulse. Peter had been…fine. It had all been fine. The man had forced Martin into whatever this hellishness had been, irreparably torn him down to nothing over the last year, and…and he was –

    “…Fine.”

    Summary

    “Everyone, this is Martin Blackwood, our latest acquisition. He’s the trailblazer for the new line in modern poets. You’re going to hear great things from this guy!”

    Tim tipped his glass proudly at Martin, who strove to look like a man from whom great things would duly spring. Though, with the way his nerves were rippling up and down through his body and playing the Flight of the Bumblebee on his internal organs, the only things currently liable to spring from him would be the bacon sandwich and coke he’d had for lunch.

    Summary

    Sunlight doesn’t penetrate that far into the Earth—a few millimetres, at most. Underground, the world is totally different, cold and dark. Despite that, soil pressing down and smothering you from all directions can be comfortable, something akin to the hypnagogic haze.

    One year ago, Martin Blackwood disappeared. Now, it’s up to Jon to find him.

    Summary

    Jon is rather surprised to be very thoroughly kissed by Martin in the breakroom at half past eight in the morning, but there are certainly worse ways to start your work day.
