    Summary

    Steve didn’t always remember a lot during school. But sometimes small, insignificant facts would pop into his head without permission. He vaguely remembered learning at one point that Canadian Geese never flew alone. They flew together, or even just as a pair if one were to fall ill or get hurt. No goose left behind. For some reason, this fact was engraved in his head like a persistent weed, always looming in the back of his subconscious. He tries to pass it off as not pertinent to his future.

    But he realizes, as months pass, that he feels a lot like a goose. A goose in a flock held together by duck tape, rope, plaster, and love.

    He finds that he doesn’t hate it as much as he thought he would.

    Or:

    Steve integrates himself into the Party and beyond, one small (or big) moment at a time.

    Summary

    Was it because she was a poor punk kid who was always mildly out of step from everyone? That she was a weird loner more interested in studying other languages and ghost stories than parties? That the whispers of how she was probably one of them had been circulating for the last two years? How could someone like her wind up with someone like him?

    Was it because like so many other things Hawkins in its small-town mind couldn’t understand?

    What if Robin had tried to pretend with Steve? What if she tried to hide the truth of herself in a fiction that she was supposed to desire? What if she got almost everything that she ever wanted?

    An Ancient Greek comedy.
