    Summary

    Matt, in his forty-odd years of life, has never seen a storm like this.

    Curtains of rain, wind, and wet leaves beat against the face of the house, threatening to tear it from its foundation and send the whole thing hurdling towards Oz. Gigantic branches slam into the roof like Mother Nature is very poorly trying to play whack-a-mole. A barreling CRACK rings out that could either be the loudest thunder ever recorded or the old dead tree across the street finally meeting the ground, and then some. He’s fairly certain it isn’t a full-blown tornado, because those don’t really happen in Toronto, but with all that climate change disaster shit he hears about from Jay and those print articles he still reads for whatever reason, he can never be too sure. 

    He's also never seen Jay like this.

    Summary

    Okay, sure. So, there was a word for people who didn’t find other people sexy. Great. A normal word. A well-known word. And not a medical condition.

    But surely whoever wrote this understood that it was an anomaly. There weren’t enough people like this to warrant a label. After all, what was the point of a human who didn’t want sex?

    (What was the point of me? — I’d asked a hundred times before.)

    Or: A heteronormative movie adaptation, a very weird BuzzFeed article, and an internet rabbit hole lead Grace to the discovery of a label sixty years in the making.

    Summary

    “I— Yeah,” I cut whoever was speaking off, my voice sounding strange and distant, like I was hearing myself from ten feet away. “I’m fine, I just have to… I think I need… uhm…”

    I was rising to my feet, then, my thoughts blurry and all over the place. As I shuffled out from under the table, I moved too fast and hit the edge of it with my knees. It was a terrible idea — pain flashed through my hips and spine without the help of my cane, which I vaguely registered leaving on the ground as I pushed away from the conference table, took one more look at the people gathered around it…

    And broke out into a run.

    Or: Grace returns to Earth but has trouble adapting to humans again. Humans who stare, and scrutinise, and can read his thoughts at a glance.
