Summary
Some days he longed for something. Or was it someone? Or was it someplace? There are moments when he’d think that maybe it had something to do with why he would wake up crying and hurting in the middle of the night. He’d try to remember what he dreamed of but his fingers would just grasp at air. All he could recall was the feeling of being so alone and angry. It tore at him.

Summary
Albert was nine when he cried so hard he could barely breathe. He was nine when he felt around in his bed, seeking for the people he’s known from a long time ago. He was nine when he tried to run away, trying to get to a place that’s long forgotten him, to where people no longer knew him because so much time has passed. He spent years looking. He waited for years to come across someone because he knew he wasn’t alone. He could feel it. It was just there.

Summary
There were some of them who preferred to be called by their real name. It wasn’t that they hated the one given to them by their friends. It was just… strange, like in any moment they’ll wake up just by the sound of their name. It was as if they’re in some kind of twisted dream, that they already know their fate and it will happen once they wake up. It felt as if they’ve never been really given another shot at living. That was how Tony felt. No one called him by his other name because they knew how much it made him flinch.

Summary
Sean wanted to leave. He wanted to go home and read again. He wanted to finish his homework and maybe sleep if he gets to. He still wanted to punch them. But a part of him wanted to stay. He wanted to have someone to talk to. He’s had enough of the debate team. He makes a lot of bad decisions. He commits many mistakes. Really, this shouldn’t be any different.

Summary
It felt like the wind rushing between his fingers. It was like hearing the waves crashing from a distance that time he, Crutchie, Tony and Albert went to the beach. It was running in a vast field. It felt like watching the moon from his bedroom window. It was like the warmth he felt when someone hugged him or when someone held his hand. It was like using a new paintbrush. It felt like seeing an image in his mind and feeling the tingles in his fingertips. It was like seeing the sky on Albert and Tony’s rooftop. It felt like a piece of home.

Summary
He died old. He died in a hospital, surrounded by frail men and women exchanging stories of the days when their eyes were brighter and their bones alive and strong. They talked as if they weren’t almost falling off their beds because of how excited they are. They talked as if one of them wouldn’t be gone by tomorrow. They talked as if they were all children again and Crutchie died, thinking of his family.

Summary
He never told them how the boy pointed out the small cracks in their ceiling and walls and made up stories about vines crawling out of them. He never told them how he held his hand and let him trace his callouses and scars when he rambles on senselessly. He never told them how Jack liked to appear tough but would curl up to his side the moment they would settle outside in the fire escape. He never told them how he, himself, felt whenever he would see him.

Summary
Katherine grew old to hear and feel her bones crack at every move. She had grown so tired she couldn’t pick up a pen anymore. She had been broken enough that she let herself soak in the sun, hoping the light would fill in her cracks. The women had asked her what she was like when she was younger.
