„Woah, that's amazing,“ Casey said, looking at the painting full of awe. Yes, the skull in the middle of it looked a bit macabre, but the flute in the mouth and the worn-out topper made him laugh, and the red tulips in the old glass beside the skull offered a nice contrast.

Zeke pulled his face. „You are here for homework, not to check out my place,“ he reminded him.

„Sorry.“ Slightly blushing, Casey turned around.“ Didn't mean to be nosy. But this painting is so cool. I wonder about the artist; there is no signature. Where did you find it?“

„Who says that I did?“

Casey blinked surprised. „What do you mean? It's impossible that you... you are the artist?“ He stared at the boy who was well known as the tough rebel of Highschool, the guy who never followed any rules, the dealer, the heartbreaker. Someone Casey had nothing in common with; they had barely shared a word before Mr. Furlong came up with this ridiculous team project for chemistry.

His eyes wandered back to the painting, and a grin sneaked onto his face. Hard to believe that in secret the king from school was such a talented geek.

Zeke dropped down onto the old couch, lighting a cigarette. „If you tell someone, I'm gonna have to kill you,“ he said, puffing out the smoke.

„Who do you think you are,“ Paige asked, watching Walter thoughtfully. „The man, made out of steel?“

Frowning, the young man looked up from his computer screen. „Hmm?“

„Superman,“ Sylvester dropped in.

„Oh. Understand. This was supposed to be a joke.“

Paige shook her head. „No, it wasn't. I'm worried about you; we all are. You always was a very rational guy who knew to judge a situation. For every risk you took, there was a good reason. But since Megan died, you seem to be wildly resolved to break your neck. It was pretty dangerous what you did today, not to mention that it was totally needless. Toby and Happy already have had the situation under control.“

Walter pulled his face. „You try to tell me that I put the whole team into serious trouble? Then maybe I should take a break for a while, you all are better of without me.“

„Walt. No one says...“ Paige tried to reach out for him when he jumped up from his desk chair. But he shook her hand off. „No one needs to tell me that I am failing much too often lately,“ he hissed. „I wasn't there for Megan when she needed me most. And I wasn't there for the team today. I'm not a good leader at the moment.“

When the door fall shut behind him, Paige looked at Sylvester, but the young man only shrugged helplessly. It was hard to help someone who wasn't ready to accept any help.

Title: How to deal with a heatwave
Characters: Mr. Smith, Kurdy Malloy
Prompt: summer
Words: 265
Finished: 21.02.2020

:::

“Smith! “Kurdy looked at his partner, frowning when he jumped into the jeep. “You can’t be serious!“

The little guy carefully stuffed his backpack behind his seat. “What’s wrong? “

“This thing. “Kurdy pointed at the thick, old coat Smith was wearing, as ever. “We have a heatwave, and it’s supposed to get even hotter. You will get a heatstroke before lunch, and I will have to deal with the mess. “

“I’ll cope with it, don’t worry, it’s not the first hot summer I live to see.“

“No way! Put it off before you start smelling like a skunk. “

“I’m sorry. “Smith looked unhappy. “Then maybe it is a better idea when I stay here today. “

“That’s bullshit, “Kurdy huffed. He would never have admitted it, but he learned to enjoy the presence of this geek, and he was not in the mood to make this day trip alone. “All I ask you for is to act reasonably at least once. It’s not a big thing. No one needs a coat this summer. “

Actually, it was not a big surprise that Smith stubbornly shook his head. “You don’t get it. “

“Okay, enlighten me. “

“This coat and my backpack, I can’t remember where I got them, but it’s all that I still have from my past. I can’t be without it, because it makes me feel vulnerable and lost. “

Kurdy glared at him with a smirk. “Smith, you are driving me crazy, “he snarled.“

“Sorry, “Smith repeated, while the big guy finally started the motor of the jeep.

Title: Memories
Characters: Markus Alexander, Meghan (the woman behind glass)
Prompt: spring
Words: 287
Finished: 14.02.2020

:::

"I remember how much I've loved spring, "Meghan murmured, burying his face into the colorful bunch of flowers. "The sun warmed up everything, that last snow was melting. The grass turned green again, the birds were singing in the trees. And the fresh smell in the air... "She looked up, tears sparkling in her eyes. "Tell me, Markus, is it still like this? "

The young man cringed inwardly; the pity he felt was beyond words. So desperately he wished to be able to give her back what she had lost a long time ago. Fifteen years locked in behind glass and the knowledge that it would stay like this for the rest of her life. Because she carried the dead inside her, one touch of her hand could mean the end of the menkind.

Markus had always done his best to make it as comfortable as possible for her, but in moments like these, he realized that he was not more than her guardsman, denying her what she wanted most. Her old life, her freedom. The sun burning on her face, the wind in her hair. The bouquet had been only the pathic try to sooth his bad conscience.

"Sorry! "He forced his eyes back to her; she was standing close to the window now, one hand resting on the glass as if she wanted to touch him, to reassure him that everything was okay. "Just a tiny moment of melancholy. It's already over. Thank you for the flowers; they are lovely. "She smiled. "You are lovely. I was supposed to die about fifteen years ago, but I am glad I didn't because I would have missed so many wonderful moments together with you."

Title: Snowstorm
Characters: Mr. Smith, Kurdy Malloy
Prompt: winter
Words: 262
Finished: 14.02.2020

„Kurdy, I could need your help!“

The big guy looked up from his book, eying his partner frowning. Smith was dressed up in his coat, a woolen hat, and a scarf, his old backpack in his mittened hands. „We have a massive snowstorm, Smith, and no, I don't plan to leave the Mountain before it's over.“

„I would no ask you to do that. But I need you to come with me to the garage. Talk with Jim; he's your friend. I guess you can convince him to give me one of the jeeps.“

„You can't be serious. Markus has stopped every outdoor trip because it is much too dangerous. What is so important that you want to risk your neck?“

„The school. Someone needs to make sure that they are all okay.“ Smith's voice steady as ever, but he couldn't hide the concern in his eyes.

Realization hit Kurdy. Of course, the old convent, where Sister Hannah, one of the most aged woman alive Kurdy had met since ages, had built up a resort for homeless children. Rose was living there, too, a strange, little girl. Smith insisted on being her father. Kurdy had never been sure what to think about this story, but he could understand what Smith had to go through at the moment. Rose was the only one he felt close to, the only one he called his family.

„Okay, give me a minute,“ he said, closing his book and standing up. „I have to change clothes; it will be freezing cold outside.“
