S3E1 The Snows of Yesteryear

She had seemed a bit melancholic when they last spoke. The very last time. Looking out the windows, entranced by the snow, she had mumbled something about it being appropriate. He knew what she meant now. Snow, falling like the final curtain. Alecia Carson. Master Magician, Distinguished Director. Beloved mother and grandmother. RIP. Of the…

S3E3 Under the Stars

He stopped in his tracks, looking up at the giant billboard, incredulous. Having had some training, he had become quite proficient in recognizing his distant ancestor, and there she was, black-lipped and edgy-looking, beaming out in an ad for the local karaoke club. He must have stood there for a while, before he heard a…

On the second day, he was told of the refusal, and instructed to come…

S3E8 One Down, Two to Go – Part I

Behind the door was a narrow staircase, just as he had expected. He paused at the top and glanced over his new, transparent body. This was so weird, and left him feeling a bit lightheaded. His movements seemed a bit more sluggish than usual as he checked the time on his phone. 01:46. There was…
