Andrew woke up from a nightmare of fire and for a second, that’s all it was, the flames licking the inside of his skull. Then he shifted against the mattress and a bolt of pain crackled from his neck down to the base of his spine, shocking the memory back into place. He must have […]

Soon Andrew was in the clinic exam room, with a solemn-looking doctor who was not Dr. Degas prodding painfully at him. Smoke inhalation and some exquisite bruising, were the doctor’s exact words. Andrew had gotten lucky. The fire department wanted to talk to him before he left, but they’d call Andrew’s emergency contact now. Then […]

(Hello! Welcome back for the final season of New Winslow! Before moving on, I first need to say THANK YOU to all of you. I have an actual Thank You post you can read here. New Winslow has been a long process and I couldn’t have done it without the help of so many people. […]

Charles Baxter could see the ridiculousness of this plan. Hell, he could even see the humor in it. And if his entire life wasn’t on the line right now, he might actually laugh at the idea of repeating history in such an obvious way. But Nancy’s phone call had made him realize he was going […]

Olivia had just turned the OPEN sign on when she heard Andrew coming down the stairs from his apartment. “Good morning!” she called as she made her way across the empty storefront and back behind the counter.

The first time, he’d staggered downstairs to get it, thinking there was an emergency and for whatever reason, […]

Why wouldn’t Nancy retire? Tara loved working at the general store, but Nancy was this dark cloud that hung over it, making every shift just a little miserable. If Tara wasn’t doing things correctly (by Nancy’s standards, Tara had been at this job for two decades now, she was doing things correctly), she’d hear about […]

Noah was alone in Andrew’s bed when he woke up the next morning. Above the sounds from the open window, he could hear the things happening downstairs. The espresso machine going, muffled voices of…customers? He glanced at his watch and saw that it was seven in the morning. He wasn’t scheduled to work today and […]

Andrew was still reluctant to give Noah his blessing to try again, but he eventually agreed after a morning of convincing. After work, they went straight over to Iris’s shop. Iris – who had taken significantly less coaxing than Andrew – was thankfully taking a different tack from last time. But the soft glow of […]
