    Summary

    On a Sunday evening, Charles Rowland saws off his hair with a pair of kitchen shears. He creates manhood out of thin air, and that’s a miracle all in its own right, he thinks, as dark curls drift down to rest against the tops of his bare feet. He washes his hands, scrubs the silvery blades clean beneath a gushing faucet, and the joy that erupts in his chest feels like the kind of purifying light he’s only ever heard about in scripture.

    Charles Rowland is a boy.

    When he tells his father as much, there is too much blood in his mouth for Charles to feel anything but dreadful. There is supposed to be holiness in the act of creation.

    Where is the divinity in this?

    Summary

    "You’re usually really… festive,” Charles told Edwin. “On Christmas Eve. But today it’s like, more of the same as every day, and… I don’t know.” He shrugged. “Just feels off, is all.”
    “I promise you that I am perfectly fine.” Edwin’s voice was final, and he turned a page as though punctuating what he’d said.
    “Well, okay then.” Charles knew better than to argue. “Just know you can talk to me, yeah?”
    It was silent for a few minutes, quiet and simple as Charles chose his Bomberman level and began to choose his power-ups. But then Edwin cleared his throat, and Charles looked up just as the Game Boy told him to START.
    “My mother used to make plum pudding at Christmas each year.”
    -
    Or, Edwin contends with his hundredth Christmas as a dead boy and Charles makes a wish for him.

    Summary

    It is three full days before Edwin realizes that there is a third person in the house. Until then, there is not so much as a hint as to the additional presence.

    It comes as a surprise: a quiet knock, as though someone is at the front door.

    The sound does not emanate from the entryway, however; it comes from somewhere else entirely, just off the hallway, at the top of the stairs that Edwin has presumed leads down to the cellar.

    There is a pause, and then the knock comes again, quite faint. A voice follows it, just as soft: "Mum? Dad?"
