Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 182: The Unemployment Crisis
The sound of chopping was precise, rhythmic, and terrifyingly fast.Thwack. Thwack. Thwack. Thwack.Elion sat at the kitchen table, nursing a cup of tea and a box of tissues. His nose was red, his throat felt like it had been scrubbed with steel wool, and he was wrapped in the same quilt Cale had vacated three days ago."Cale," Elion croaked. "What are you doing?"Cale stood at the counter. He was wearing an apron over his black t-shirt. He was wielding a chef's knife like a scalpel. Before him lay a pile of carrots that had been julienned into strips so uniform they looked like they had been measured with calipers."I am prepping," Cale said without breaking his rhythm."Prepping for what? A stir-fry for an army?""Dinner," Cale said. "I am optimizing the vegetable intake. Vitamin A is essential for immune system recovery. Since you are compromised, I must increase the dosage.""I have a cold, Cale. I don't need five pounds of carrots.""Surplus can be stored. Pickled. Or frozen."Th
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 181: The First Cold
The Oregon coastline was beautiful. Rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and a constant, misty rain that wrapped the A-frame house in a grey hug.It was perfect.Except for the sound coming from the bedroom.Hhh-choo!It was a small sound. A sneeze.Elion looked up from his laptop. He was sitting at the kitchen table, trying to organize the notes for his memoir, which was currently titled How to Marry a Reaper and Survive."Cale?" Elion called out. "Are you okay?"There was no answer. Just a rustling of sheets and a low, miserable groan.Elion stood up. He walked to the bedroom.Cale was lying on the bed, buried under three quilts. Only his nose and eyes were visible. His nose was red. His eyes were watery and miserable."I am dying," Cale whispered.Elion stopped in the doorway. He crossed his arms, leaning against the frame."You're dying?" Elion asked."System failure," Cale reported, his voice thick and congested. "Respiratory blockage. Thermal regulation offline. The heat... it is esca
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 180: The Exit Interview
The car was a black Cadillac Escalade, hired by Mitchell, the reporter from The Times. It sat on the gravel driveway of the farmhouse, its engine idling, a sleek monolith of modern technology against the backdrop of the decaying barn.Mitchell leaned against the hood, checking his watch. He looked impatient."You guys ready?" Mitchell called out as Elion and Cale emerged from the house. "We're burning daylight. And gas."Elion helped Cale down the porch steps. Cale was moving better today. The stiffness was there, but the limp was less pronounced. He wore the grey sweater and jeans, looking like a fisherman who had just survived a storm."We are ready," Elion said. "Did you bring the camera?""In the back," Mitchell said. "And a sound guy. And a lawyer. Just in case.""Good," Cale said. "Legal counsel is a necessary variable."They climbed into the back seat. Mitchell got in the front passenger seat, turning around to face them."So," Mitchell said. "Where are we going? You said 'West
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 179: The Weight of Morning
The floorboards were hard.That was the first thing Cale noticed. Not the concept of hardness, or the theoretical resistance of matter against matter, but the actual, physical ache of wood pressing into his shoulder blades. The sensation was sharp, specific, and entirely unavoidable.He lay still, eyes closed, letting the sensation wash over him. It was uncomfortable. It was stiff. It was perfect."Cale?" Elion's voice came from beside him. It sounded groggy, rough with sleep. "Are you awake?"Cale opened his eyes. The morning light streaming through the yellow gingham curtains was blindingly bright. He blinked rapidly, tears pricking the corners of his eyes from the sheer intensity of the photons hitting his retinas."I am awake," Cale said. His voice rasped in his throat. It felt raw, like he had been screaming for hours, or like he hadn't spoken in years."How do you feel?" Elion asked, shifting on the floor. He groaned as he pushed himself up, rubbing his lower back. "God, my back

The woods were not silent.That was the first problem. Woods should breathe—wind in the leaves, birds calling, the snap of dry twigs.These woods were screaming.Not with a voice, but with a frequency. A high-pitched, electronic whine that vibrated in Elion’s teeth. It was the sound of a migraine, externalized."Faster," Cale gasped.He stumbled over a root. Cale Rion, who had moved through centuries with the grace of a panther, was tripping over his own feet.Elion grabbed his arm, hauling him upright."I've got you," Elion said. "Just follow my heels.""I can't process the terrain," Cale said. His voice was tight, bordering on panic. "The data input is scrambled. Depth perception is fluctuating. I see the tree, but I don't know how far away it is.""It's three feet away. Step left."Cale stepped left. He missed the trunk by an inch."This is inefficient," Cale said, wiping sweat from his forehead. "I am slowing you down. My navigational systems are offline. I am dead weight.""You'r
Rewinding My Reaper Boyfriend 177: The Hollow Space
The eggs tasted like ash.Elion chewed mechanically. Swallow. Breathe. Repeat.Across the wooden table, Cale was eating with efficient, precise movements. Fork to mouth. Chew. Swallow. He looked perfectly healthy. His cheeks had color. His leg, previously shattered and rotting, was hidden under denim jeans, but he sat without the stiff agony that had defined the last week.He looked fine.That was the horror of it."The salt ratio is correct?" Cale asked.Elion looked up. Cale’s eyes were bright, expectant. Green again. Not grey static."It's perfect," Elion lied. He put his fork down. The metal clinked loudly against the ceramic plate. "Cale.""Yes?""Say it again."Cale paused. He tilted his head, like a bird listening for a worm in the earth."Say what?""Your full name."Cale smiled. It was a gentle smile. The smile of a man who had no idea he was bleeding out spiritually."Cale Rion," he said."And the middle name?"Cale frowned. A tiny crease appeared between his eyebrows. He lo

The morning light in the Garden Room was cruel. It illuminated the dust motes, the smudges on the glass doors, and the stark, grey pallor of Cale’s skin.Elion sat up, rubbing the grit from his eyes. He had slept in his clothes, his hand resting near the brass lamp he had used as a weapon the night

The sound of the helicopter was a physical weight, pressing down on the roof of the library.Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack.It vibrated through the floorboards, shaking the dust from the shelves. To Elion, it sounded like a rescue. To Cale, it sounded like exposure.Elion was on his knees next to the

The library was a tomb of shadows and expensive leather.Outside, the storm battered the mansion with the fury of a scorned god. Rain lashed against the tall, leaded windows like gravel. Thunder shook the floorboards every few minutes, a deep, resonant boom that vibrated in Elion’s chest.Inside, t

The wind on the roof of the Centurion Tower was not a breeze; it was a physical assault. It whipped Elion’s hair into his eyes and snapped the production flags like gunshots.Fifty stories above Manhattan, the air was thin and smelled of exhaust and ozone.Elion stood at the edge of the "Leap of Fa
