    Summary

    Gertrude hadn't quite known what to expect when she sent Michael into the Distortion. Perhaps, she suspected that he would become the Distortion, that the Distortion would become him.

    In which case, she would only be half right.

    The Distortion became Michael, yet Michael never became the Distortion.

    Now, Michael Shelley is stuck, still working back at the archives, all too aware of his other self, causing fear and pain wherever it goes, a piece of himself that he may never get back.

    ----------
    This isn't completed but I decided I didn't like it much, so I'm rewriting it (or that was the plan, I've kind of ended up changing everything) so you should probably check my other story "One and the same" for that.

    Summary

    The jacket is brown, and thick, with fleece lining and cuffs. It reaches down to somewhere between the waist and knees.

    It is a winter coat, brand new when bought, the yearly indulgence of a working-class archival assistant a long time ago. Years have left its mark on the coat, but a lifetime of largely hanging untouched in a closet has left it in good shape. It looks almost wrong, now, but it’s still a brown winter coat at its core.

    Michael needs its coat, today.
