Dirty Dealings (2/21)

Word count: 1,519 Words

Chapter 2: The Anniversary

“I do love a good hotel.” He went on chuckling. “Never know what wayward souls could be just passing through temporarily. Haha!" - Alastor

The dying light of the following evening found her back in the swamp, a place she had very much not wanted to see ever again. A new desperation held her as she called out, screaming for the demon that had sealed their deal in lies with a smile.

“Where are you!?” She screamed into the growing darkness. “Show yourself you fucking coward!”

Stillness. Not even the creatures of the bog were answering her.

“I-“ She sunk into the mud. “I didn’t agree TO THIS!”

Sobs shook her body as night settled around her, draping her in its coolness.

“I’m….” She wrapped her arms around herself, curling into the muck. “I’m…forgotten.”

Cold water seeped against her skin as she shivered and cried there. A chill touched her spine when she heard it….soft laughter. Soft laughter drifting from the shadows of dying trees looming all around her.

Belle Chasse, Louisiana

June 25th, 1951

The Riverside Hotel

Sighing, Addie dug the key to the hotel room from the pocket of the torn jacket she was wearing. It was 11 p.m. on a Wednesday night which meant that hardly anyone was currently staying at the small, dingy establishment that lay just outside of town. The sole employee who would be on shift tonight was likely passed out drunk behind the front desk again. The room would be empty and no one would bother her for using it. She first started spending her time here after renting the room for one night a little over a month ago and leaving with the key. No one bothered to change the lock. It didn’t see much use anyway and if anyone noted her coming and going, they would soon forget they ever had seen her regardless.

A year had passed since Addie LaRue made her deal with the demon in the swamp. Her wish had been granted. She no longer aged; only a short time had passed since then but she felt the truth of it. No longer could she even be killed; she had discovered. She was made free to live out a long life, seeing all the sights she wanted, doing all the things she felt she had needed done. The promise for this - of course - had been her soul, but truly, she hadn’t fathomed it could hold any value to her beyond this lifetime anyhow. What use was a soul when you no longer existed? She did not know.

Still, the cost had come greater than she had known. The demon had implemented a nasty clause to their deal; he had made it so that Addie LaRue could no longer be remembered. The moment she left the presence of another person, she was forgotten. They simply had to look away from her, their eyes would grow blank and she was out of their memories forever. It made day-to-day tasks complicated and destroyed any possibility of having any form of a relationship with anyone. She had no friends. No family. Absolutely no one in her life to remember her, to know her.

Shrugging out of the worn jacket, she let it drop to the floor and she went to the bathroom to wash up before heading to bed. She kept very few personal possessions with her; it was simple to collect items she needed or wanted at a whim as long as she kept from being seen or slipped out of sight even for a moment. The only items she had with her currently was the jacket, some clothes she had lifted from the local Goodwill and whatever book she had with her to read. Nothing else.

In the bathroom, she ran the faucet and splashed water onto her face. Looking back at herself in the mirror, she saw that her long brown hair was a mess of tangles, and it was obvious looking at her dull brown/green eyes that she was both stressed and tired. The seven freckles that painted a constellation across her face stood stark against her pale skin. A whole year…and she didn’t know what the fuck she was doing. Tomorrow she would track down a hairbrush and maybe some makeup but beyond that…she had no idea.

The lights flickered within the small apartment, nothing unusual in this place but the bedside radio suddenly switched on; producing a loud and sharp static.

Not really thinking that much of it, she went to switch the radio back off when the static shifted into music; softly playing:

“I’ll never smile again, until I smile at you…”

“I’ll Never Smile Again” - Tommy Dorsey (1940)

She paused, just for a moment before the radio erupted back into static, then quickly switched itself back off.

A soft knocking came from the door of the hotel and her heart sunk. Apparently, she had errored in thinking she wouldn’t be bothered this evening and she really was not in the mood to deal with the room having been rented out tonight.

Sighing heavily, she picked her jacket up off the floor and went to open the door; mentally flipping through ideas of where else she could go to tonight if this did not end well.

Opening the door, she stepped back and was surprised to find a tall, thin man wearing spectacles and holding a bouquet of beautiful red roses standing just outside the threshold. He was dressed finely in a brown pinstriped suit and nice black shoes. The man had a wide, welcoming smile spread across his face; his brown eyes almost tinkling with glee and his short, brown hair stuck out handsomely swept and disheveled off to the side.

She was about to tell him he had the wrong room when his face lit up even more and he said,

“Well, good evening, darling! Happy Anniversary!”

She froze, glaring at him now.

“You…”

“May I come in?” He asked, his eyes dancing with humor.

A part of her wanted to slam the door right in his fucking smiling face but she stepped aside and he swept in with lanky, striding steps.

“A whole year, come and gone!” He announced. “And just look at what you have accomplished!” He swept an arm out, gesturing proudly at the small, sad room; still holding the bouquet of flowers. “Why, your limitless freedom has proved rather rewarding, I dare say. Indeed!”

“I actually find it rather fucking limited, myself.”

“Now, now Adeline. You are souring the evening. We should be celebrating!” He happily teased her.

“How do you know my name?” She demanded, shocked to hear him say it aloud.

“My dear.” He spoke softly, still smiling. “I may not own your soul but I do hold it within my possession per our agreed contract. I know more about you than anyone. Though, that doesn’t boast much now these days, now does it?” He laughed.

“I did not agree to…this!” She bit back.

“Oh, but you did.” He chuckled. “I simply added a teeny-tiny…catch to our agreement. Purely for entertainment purposes, of course.”

“Funny.” She said dryly. “And, I still don’t know your name.”

“Yes, well, there is a certain power in knowing one’s name.” He explained, amused. “And before you ask; I won’t tell you mine, please don’t think me impolite.”

“So what am I supposed to call you?”

“Hm….why don’t you pick something?” He suggested.

“Luc.” She said.

“How incredibly…dull, of you.” He replied smiling, but clearly not pleased.

“Well, you look like a ‘Luc’.” She shrugged.

His smile never faltered but she could have sworn she noted the slightest twitch of an eye behind his spectacles.

“Fine. Luc it is.” He relented. “Consider it an anniversary gift.”

He turned away, going to the bedside table.

“I do love a good hotel.” He went on chuckling. “Never know what wayward souls could be just passing through temporarily. Haha! But, a little color will do nicely, don’t you think?”

Snapping his fingers, he produced a vase to place the roses in. Humming to himself, he went about arranging the flowers.

“Why do you look different?”

“Well, I can’t very well walk around town looking like I did the night you found me enjoying my evening out by the bayou, now can I?” He chatted amiably, picking a dead leaf from off of one of the rose stems. “What would the papers say!?” He flicked the leaf to fall onto the floor.

“Ok, well…are we done here now?” She asked. He smiled back at her, not moving and saying nothing. “Or was there something else you wanted?”

He tilted his head, his smile widening.

“Out of questions for me already, Adeline?” He asked her, coyly.

“I’m pretty sure I’ll always have questions but I’m not stupid.” Her anger, simmering at the surface now. “I thought you’d make an appearance, sooner or later. And, honestly…tonight, I’m not in the mood.” She continued. “It’s been a long year…I made my mistake. I made my deal. But, I’m not giving up. Even with your little…catch, I’m not done yet. I can make this work. Somehow…”

Laughter bubbled from deep within his chest, his sharp, brown eyes fixed on her.

“How…entertaining.”

At Sand Creek, this man Capt. Silas Soule defied the orders of his superior, General Chivington, and barred his men of the 1st Regiment from attacking the Cheyenne and Arapaho under the American and white flags. “I refused to fire and swore that none but a coward would,” he wrote later in letters to DC, which outed the event as a massacre and conflicted with Chivington’s claims that it was a battle. As a result of his courage to speak out against this brutality and wrongdoing, a Congressional investigation was launched by the Joint Committee on the Conduct of War.

Soule and a few others testified against Chivington and it was determined that Chivington had “surprise and murdered in cold blood unsuspecting men, women, and children who had every reason to believe they were under [US] protection.” Despite, no one was ever indicted. Chivington retired from service before the ruling and was never tried in military or civilian court. What’s worse is the newly married, Soule was assassinated on the street in Denver just a few weeks after his testimony. His condemnation of the attack was not his first act of moral courage.

At 17, he was a conductor on the Kansas underground railroad and at 21 attempted to free two of John Brown’s men after Brown was hanged. Every year, the Cheyenne and Arapahos of today honor this man for his courage, for using his voice, for standing up for what is right, for initiating documentation of the massacre, and – most importantly – for telling the truth. This morning, the runners gather where he rests at Riverside Cemetery in Denver to offer memorial and honor songs for our ally.

So many documents were produced because of his single act of heroism and we have used them to reclaim our sacred lands, which are now protected by the National Park Service. We will fight to keep them protected forever. We will fight to share this history and truth so that no one will ever forget how America was born, how the city of Denver came to be.

[ ABERDEEN ‘ABBY’ WATERS. 23. FEMALE. SHE/HER ] is here! They’ve lived in Silver Lake for [ 18 YEARS ] and are originally from [ RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA ]. They are a [ HAIRDRESSER AT PRISMATIC ] and in their downtime love [ DANCING AROUND HER ROOM LIKE BRITNEY SPEARS IN CROSSROADS ] and [ VOLUNTEERING FOR THE LOCAL HOMELESS SHELTER ]. They look a lot like [ SYDNEY SWEENEY ] and live [ IN OASIS APTS ].

quick facts 🍰

d.o.b. : july 21, 1997 (a cancer!)

birthplace: riverside, california

age: 23

nicknames: abby, birdie, deenie (only her gma)

height: 5′4

time in silverlake: since she was 5

lives in: oasis apts.

early life stuff 🍭

Abby grew up in Silver Lake, on Lanterman Terrace, just a stone’s throw from Redcliff and Oasis.

Her mom was a lawyer and her dad a fairly successful radio host.

When she was twelve, her dad came out as trans. While her mom was ultimately supportive, this did lead to her parents amicably divorcing.

She’s a lover not a fighter, but she bitchslapped a girl sophomore year for making transhpobic comments about her mom.

Won a singing competition at a mall when she was 15 but it was kind of a scam and went nowhere. But she did get to meet Carly Rae Jepsen which she brags about to this day.

Got busted for a fake ID at 16 but the juvenile court system p much let it slide.

Graduated Margaret M. Bloomfield High School at 19 because she was held back a year (we love a late bloomer)

Enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College, a community college, but struggled with what to do there, and dropped out by summer.

life/career 🍦

after high school she fell into hard partying mode thanks to friends both in and out of the celeb/social scene in la.

has sort of cleaned up her act since, but good god, the girl still loves a party

always loved hair and makeup stuff so when a friend suggested beauty school, it was a no brainer

one year later she had her cosmetology license and started working as an apprentice hairdresser

she models a bit on the side (glorified way of saying brands send her free shit and she poses in them on her insta lol) but it doesn’t give her too much in the way of extra income

adores giving people bold/bright colors and cuts although she’s pretty good at all the regular stuff too

loves her fellow Prismatic staff like family

lil facts / personality / hcs 🍓

if you rearrange the letters in abby it makes baby and that’s what she is

she may have two moms, but her third is lana del rey (she’s seen her live 4 times and grew up on her albums) - basically

goes vegan one week of every month bc she believes that lets her body ‘detox’ (but will still party/drink/etc that week like girl lmao)

loves to travel even if work and other stuff doesn’t allow her to all the time.

she’s been all over the states on road trips + hawaii. she’s even been to europe once and is forever planning her next trip.

love life is a capital M Mess, she always goes for guys who end up cheating on her or breaking up with her for the stupidest of reasons. she cries about it and moves on though.

her instagram is pretty much a thirst trap mixed with her work. she does the occasional sponcon too whenever that comes her way. secretly would love to just do nothing and be paid to be an instagram influencer/face/celeb.

has an older sister, carmelia [aimee lou wood fc] . she’s 25, a borderline genius, social worker.

a zoomer but in denial about it

to sum up, abby in her own words:

WANTED: 2 OASIS ROOMMATES!

come love her down, i’m open for: party friends, drinking friends, work connections, fwbs, ons, potential exes, pretty much most things really if we talk/flesh ‘em out!

#slintro #heeeere's abby

Insider:

California's top education official helped an exclusive private boarding school in China aimed at getting the children of elite families into American universities

"- An Insider investigation has found that some of California's highest-ranking education officials and leading public universities worked closely with a swaggering entrepreneur who launched a private boarding school for elite families in China.

- Pegasus California School, in Qingdao, billed itself as part of the Val Verde Unified School District in Riverside County, California, and bestowed Val Verde diplomas on graduates to help them get into the University of California system.

- Val Verde's superintendent said at a school board meeting that the University of California at Riverside had guaranteed admission to every Pegasus graduate, a charge the school denies."

cnn.com:

What if China no longer needs Hollywood? That's bad news for the film industry

"America has been the king of the box office for, well, forever. Not anymore. In 2020, China overtook the United States to become the top movie market in the world. The country, perennially the second-largest movie market, brought in $3.1 billion at the box office in 2020, according to Comscore (SCOR) — nearly $1 billion more than the United States did last year.

Now, obviously, there's a glaring asterisk here: coronavirus. China bounced back much faster than the United States did following the initial outbreak in the country. That led to theaters opening sooner than those in the United States, which still has many of its theaters closed.

Caveats aside, some major Hollywood films just didn't catch on with Chinese audiences in 2020. Warner Bros.' "Wonder Woman 1984" didn't do well there, and Disney's "Mulan" — a movie aimed at Chinese audiences — was a big disappointment. This comes after years of Hollywood globalizing their blockbusters in hopes that they connect with American and international audiences, like those in China.

So what if China no longer needs Hollywood?"

See where all the people leaving New York are moving to

"Cooped up in tiny apartments, rattled by disease and demonstrations, and worried about their children’s education, hundreds of thousands escaped from New York this year — and not just for nearby suburbs.

The post office received 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data The Post obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request. While many city dwellers decamped to Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester and Connecticut, others scattered across the country. The Postal Service data shows only the destination ZIP codes and counties where more than 10 New Yorkers forwarded their mail — and it points to places like Park City, Utah; Jackson, Wyo., and Brattleboro, Vt.

The Post talked to five New Yorkers about why they made the move to far-flung places. While they are happy where they landed, most said part of them still yearns for the Big Apple.

“I miss the vibe. I miss the people. I miss the pulse of the city,” said Sarah Platt-Finger, who moved from Brooklyn to Boca Raton, Fla. “It’s noticeably absent here.”

latimes.com:

California lost more manufacturing jobs to China than any other state, report says

"California has lost far more jobs to China than any other state, with the San Francisco Bay Area accounting for more than any other region in the nation due to a long outflow of technology manufacturing.

From 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization, to 2018, the Golden State lost 654,100 jobs to the Asian nation. That’s about double the next highest state loss, Texas’ 334,800 jobs, according to a report released Thursday by the Economic Policy Institute, a labor think tank in Washington, D.C.

The study, based on the latest U.S. Census Bureau, and Labor Department data, calculated that among the congressional districts that lost the most jobs to China, six of the top 10 were in California. Four of those districts were in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley — the 15th, 17th, 18th and 19th districts — where 80% or more of the lost jobs were in the computer and electronics sector.

The Los Angeles area’s 40th Congressional District — encompassing such communities as Downey, East Los Angeles, Commerce and South Los Angeles — was also in the top 10. More than half of its lost jobs were in the garment industry."

Manga the Week of 5/12/21

SEAN: Happy Mother’s Day! Let’s look for some manga that you can safely show to Mom.

Airship has two early digital releases, Adachi & Shimamura 5 and Failure Frame 2.

Debuting in print is Drugstore in Another World: The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist. And we get the 2nd Muscles Are Better Than Magic as well.

ASH: I didn’t pick it up digitally, but am still vaguely intrigued by Drugstore in Another World.

MELINDA: I’m intrigued by the title alone.

SEAN: Dark Horse has a 6th omnibus volume for Gantz.

J-Novel Club has a few digital manga titles that I missed last time that are out this week. Apologies to An Archdemon’s Dilemma 5, Bibliophile Princess 2, and Record of Wortenia War 2. This is the danger of not adding “LLC” to your searches.

ASH: It can make a difference.

SEAN: As for this week, in terms of manga we have Ascendance of a Bookworm 7 and Mapping 2.

In terms of digital light novels, we get The Greatest Magicmaster’s Retirement Plan 9 and In Another World with My Smartphone 22.

Kodansha has a few print volumes next week. We get Don’t Toy with me, Miss Nagatoro 7, Sachi’s Monstrous Appetite 2, and Yuzu the Pet Vet 5.

MICHELLE: I still need to check out Yuzu.

ASH: I’ll have to admit the same.

MELINDA: And I.

SEAN: Digitally the debut is The Springtime of My Life Began with You (Kimi to Aoi Haru no Hajimari), a shoujo title from Dessert. The author’s had a lot of titles out over here, some from Kodansha (The Dorm of Love and Secrets, The Prince’s Romance Gambit) and some via Media Do’s many and varied company names (Heart Break Club). A popular guy is forced, as a punishment game, to ask out the quiet, shy girl in front of the whole class. The trouble is… he insists he really likes her!

ANNA: Those popular guys and their shenanigans!

MICHELLE: I know this concept is not the greatest, but I think the cover is pretty and enjoyed The Dorm of Love and Secrets, so I’ll be giving this a shot.

SEAN: We also get Ace of the Diamond 32, My Roomie Is a Dino 5, Nina the Starry Bride 2, Peach Boy Riverside 7, Saint Young Men 12, and Those Snow White Notes 4, voted “series most likely to get behind on” by Manga Bookshelf.

ANNA: I haven’t read the first volume so I’m sure I’m behind.

MICHELLE: Gah, so behind. It’s coming out especially quickly for some reason! I’m also in need of a mini-marathon on Ace of the Diamond.

SEAN: One Peace has the 2nd volume of isekai harem title Farming Life in Another World.

Seven Seas has FOUR debuts next week. We’ll start with My Alcoholic Escape from Reality (Genjitsu Touhi Shitetara Boroboro ni Natta Hanashi), the latest biographical manga from the creator of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, which promises to be as riveting as the previous book’s she’s given us. It ran in Matogrosso, put out by small publisher East Press.

ANNA: Oh wow.

ASH: They’re good but hard-hitting manga.

SEAN: Ride Your Wave (Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara) is a one-volume manga adaptation of the movie of the same name, and ran in Shogakukan’s Deluxe Betsucomi.

MICHELLE: Hm. It’s sports-adjacent, seems like.

SEAN: School Zone Girls is a title from Mag Garden’s MagComi about two troublemaking girls who’ve been together forever, but are they more than just friends? This seems to emphasize the comedy over the yuri.

Lastly, we get Thigh High: Reiwa Hanamaru Academy (Reiwa Hanamaru Gakuen), a Kodansha title from good! Afternoon, and is about an all-girls school… populated entirely by gorgeous crossdressing men. This one also seems to emphasize the comedy.

ASH: This could be hilariously good or hilariously bad – I’m not sure that I can resist finding out which.

MELINDA: I really don’t know what to expect from this.

SEAN: Also out: Dungeon Builder 4 and Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! 5.

Square Enix debuts I Think Our Son Is Gay (Uchi no Musuko wa Tabun Gay), a Gangan Pixiv title about a mom who has realized that her son is keeping a secret. This is supposed to be very good.

ANNA: I’m curious.

MICHELLE: Same.

ASH: Really looking forward to this one.

MELINDA: I’m excited to read this one!

SEAN: They also have By the Grace of the Gods’ 2nd manga volume.

SuBLime wins the title of the week competition with the debut of Dick Fight Island (8nin no Senshi), a long-running title from Libre Shuppan’s Be x Boy Gold. The synopsis… is pretty much not work safe, but can probably be guessed from the title.

ANNA: I don’t think anyone could buy that manga and be confused about what they’re getting.

MICHELLE: Snerk.

ASH: I likewise suspect that it is unlikely.

MELINDA: I mean. Well.

SEAN: They also have Vol. 2 of Don’t Be Cruel: plus+.

Speaking of BL, Tokyopop has a one-shot title, The Treasure of the King and the Cat (Ou to Neko no Himitsu), about a king investigating a series of disappearances who gets caught up in magic.

They also have Ossan Idol 3.

No debuts for Viz, but we get Fly Me to the Moon 5, Fullmetal Alchemist: Fullmetal Edition 13, Pokemon Sun & Moon 10, Rin-Ne 39, Splatoon 12, A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow 7, and Yo-Kai Watch 17.

ASH: Some great ongoing series in that list!

SEAN: That’s it. See anything maternal? I Think Our Son Is Gay looks like the best choice. I’d avoid Dick Fight Island. Unless your mom loves BL.

Well then you do all for Charlie. :>

slippin in a readmore to save yall the trouble of the size of this post

☾ - sleep headcanon: Charlie has trouble sleeping without a lot of pressure, so he often sleeps in like really heavy sweaters or under large amounts of blankets regardless of temperature. obviously in summer, he requires it to be somewhere very cold to make up for it.

★ - sad headcanon: Charlie in general when he should be feeling strong emotions, mostly looks like he’s feeling nothing at all. So when he’s sad, he’s even quieter than normal, looks very far away, and is very confused? like, he’s not checked in enough to understand what’s going on around him.

☆ - happy headcanon: Like above, Charlie’s emotions when they’re strongest almost seem hardest to find? But when he’s really happy, it almost surprises him. Like, he won’t have a response and then he’ll just laugh and grin like it’s escaping from him, and the surprise of it just makes him grin wider.

☠ - angry/violent headcanon: Charlie’s anger is cold. He doesn’t burn hot, he goes glacier slow, intentional, methodical, ruthless. Angry Charlie walks up to his enemies when theyre down and says nothing as he pushes the heel of his foot into their throat, only pushing harder as they struggle.

✿ - Sex headcanon: Charlie leads with the mouth. Kisses, biting, oral. He’s got a praise kink a mile wide.

■ - Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon: Charlie’s bedroom in his childhood home is full of really nonsensical decor; twigs and branches tied to float in the air on ropes made of different colored yarn, leaves just glued onto the walls, floor lamps he’s magyvered to be mounted on the ceiling and table lamps hes screwed into the walls. But apart from the chaotic decor, it is immaculate.

♡ - romantic headcanon: Charlie starts giving Wyeth a bunch of odd gifts. Single flowers of no discernible species. Small mesh bags full of impossibly fresh looking acorns. A rock that glows a vague magenta on the full moon. When asked what or why, he just shrugs and says “It told me it was yours.”

♥ - family headcanon: Charlie’s mother was always very distant after his father left when he was young, but one day when he was about 13 she looked him in the eyes, panic on her face, and said “you’re not my child.” She’s looked right through him ever since, and has barely spoken a coherent word to him in that time.

☮ - friendship headcanon: Charlie is the type of friend you can monologue your problems at and he’ll just sit there being like “Mhmm... Yes... Oh, no... That’s wise...” etc, and you’ll finish and thank him for being so helpful for giving you advice when in reality he just listens.

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon: He draws. A lot. On everything. If he’s got a pen or a pencil and a place to draw, he’s doing it. The images that he makes don’t... don’t really make sense. They look almost like images from nature, but just to the left in the way where the longer you look at it, the less you really think that’s what it is - but you have no idea what it actually is.

☯ - likes/dislikes headcanon: Charlie’s favorite features of Wyeth’s are his fingers, his true smile, the jut of his adam’s apple, his ears, his eyelashes, and that inch of stomach that shows when Wyeth stretches.

▼ - childhood headcanon: Charlie disappeared from home one night when he was six years old, and was found a day and a half later in the woods with no memory of how he got there or what happened in the time from laying in his bed reading to the point where a cop found him by the riverside. He’s starting to remember pieces of it now, like ten years later, and frankly none of the details he’s getting make any sense.

∇ -. old age/aging headcanon: Charlie... well, depending on how the plot goes, there’s a distinct possibility that Charlie will stop aging within the next few years, unless he sacrifices his immortality. So either he dies happy and old having chosen that life, or he lives forever and stops aging at about 21 or so, feeling his heart die a little more each time he remembers the friends who passed away and left him behind.

♒ - cooking/food headcanon: Charlie is solidly vegetarian. But he’s almost like a flat out rabbit. He’ll just sit somewhere and eat like a bunch of raw vegetables and call it dinner, without thinking that’s weird. He’s started calling it “Deconstructed Salad”

☼ - appearance headcanon: Charlie is 5′2″ and 105lbs. He’s itty. But between his mop of curls and the gentle point to his ears, he seems to take up more space than he should. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s definitely bigger on the inside.

ൠ - random headcanon: Charlie was diagnosed/had treatment attempted for a lot of different mental disorders that all stemmed from his abilities as a fey, so he’s still really sensitive to developing weirdness that overlaps with any of those past diagnoses. Even once he learns he’s fey, the reflex to panic each time he does something that could be a symptom of schizophrenia or could be a symptom of ADHD or could be a symptom of OCD doesn’t go away.

◉ - Any other question headcanon of your choosing: on the night before, of, and after the full moon, he can hear hunting horns in the forest that no one else can seem to hear. He’s told people about them. What he hasn’t mentioned is how difficult it is not to just go into the forest to find them, join them, hunt.

Dying Young: The Health Care Workers in Their 20s Killed by COVID-19

Jasmine Obra believed that if it wasn’t for her brother Joshua, she wouldn’t exist. When 7-year-old Josh realized that his parents weren’t going to live forever, he asked for a sibling so he would never be alone.

By spring 2020, at ages 29 and 21, Josh and Jasmine shared a condo in Anaheim, California, not far from Disneyland, which they both loved.

Both worked at a 147-bed locked nursing facility that specialized in caring for elderly people with cognitive issues such as Alzheimer’s, where Jasmine, a nursing student, was mentored by Josh, a registered nurse.

Both got tested for COVID-19 on the same day in June.

Both tests came back positive.

Yet only one of them survived.

While COVID-19 takes a far deadlier toll on elderly people than on young adults, an investigation of front-line health care worker deaths by the Guardian and KHN has uncovered numerous instances when staff members under age 30 were exposed on the job and also succumbed.

In our database of 167 confirmed front-line worker deaths, 21 medical staffers, or 13% of the total, were under 40, and eight (5%) fatalities were under 30. The median age of a COVID-19 death in the general population is 78, while the median age of health care worker deaths in the database is 57. This is in part because we are, by definition, including only people of working age who were treating patients during the pandemic — but it is also because, as health workers, they are far more exposed to the virus.

Young health care workers are at a “stage in their career and a stage of life at which they have so much more to offer,” said Andrew Chan, a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School. “Lives lost among any young people related to COVID really should be considered something that’s unacceptable to us as a society.”

As coronavirus cases surge — and dire shortages of lifesaving protective gear like N95 masks, gowns and gloves persist — the nation’s health care workers face disproportionate risk. Chan’s research has found that health care workers of any age are at least three times more likely to become infected than the general population, and the risk is greater if they are people of color or have to work without adequate personal protective equipment. People of color are also likelier to have inadequate access to PPE.

In interviews, relatives and friends of these younger victims described a particular and wrenching sorrow. Everything lay ahead for these front-line workers. They were just embarking on their careers. Some still lived in the family home; others were looking forward to getting married or had young children. Several parents of victims contacted by the Guardian and KHN said they were simply unable to talk about what had happened, so immense was their grief.

Valeria Viveros, a 20-year-old nursing assistant, was “barely blooming,” said her uncle, Gustavo Urrea. She made ceviche for her patients at a nursing home in Riverside, California, and Urrea could see her visibly growing in self-confidence. When she first fell sick from the virus, she went to the hospital but was sent home with Tylenol. She returned several days later in an ambulance — her final journey.

“We’re all destroyed,” Urrea said. “I can’t even believe it.”

Dulce Garcia, 29, an interpreter at a medical facility in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, died in May. “It just doesn’t feel real,” said friend Brittany Mathis. Garcia was the one who wouldn’t let friends drive if they’d had too many drinks, and she loved going out to dance to bachata, merengue and reggaeton. “There were so many things she had unfinished,” Mathis said.

While people of any age with underlying conditions such as diabetes and obesity are at higher risk of a severe COVID-19 infection, the particular impacts of the virus on young adults are only now becoming clear.

Doctors in New York noticed that more younger patients than usual were presenting with strokes, to the point that “the average age of our stroke patients with large-vessel strokes” — the most devastating kind — “has come down,” said Thomas Oxley, a Mount Sinai medical system neurosurgeon. COVID-19 infections cause inflammation, and often blood clots, in blood vessels as well as the lungs.

Angela Padula and Dennis Bradt became engaged in early February. On May 13, Bradt died of a heart attack as doctors tried to coax him off a ventilator.(Angela Padula)

Angela Padula thought that she and Dennis Bradt had done everything right.

Padula, 27, and Bradt, 29, became engaged on Feb. 8. She was a special-education teacher, and he was an addiction technician at Conifer Park, a private addiction treatment facility in Glenville, New York.

The couple wanted to save up for a few years for their wedding, but by early April, they had already purchased her engagement and wedding rings. Bradt, who had the sweeter tooth, had chosen a raspberry-swirl wedding cake.

After the pandemic hit, Bradt started showering when he got home from work. He and Padula wore masks when they went out, which was usually only for groceries or gas. They stopped visiting their immunocompromised parents.

On April 5, Bradt came down with a fever, stomach-bug symptoms and achiness, and went to the hospital. His COVID-19 test came back negative. Soon he couldn’t breathe. Another test proved positive. On April 16 he was put on a ventilator. In the process, he choked on his own vomit, which caused his lung to collapse.

Padula assumes Bradt was infected at work, and is unsure whether he had sufficient PPE. Conifer Park did not respond to queries, but according to local health authorities, 12 employees and six patients at the facility tested positive for COVID-19. Padula herself had symptoms so severe that she was taken to the emergency room in an ambulance.

She was not allowed to visit Bradt, and was quarantined alone at home, where she spent her 28th birthday, taking anxiety medication prescribed by her doctor.

On May 13, as doctors tried to coax Bradt off the ventilator, he suffered a heart attack, Padula said. She and Bradt’s mother were permitted to say goodbye to him. But “he was gone by the time we got there,” Padula said in an interview. “He didn’t look like himself,” swollen and festooned with tubes.

Today Padula is still sick. Pain in her arms, legs and back wakes her at night. She feels as though the virus has taken over her life.

“I have my days where it’s just too much to think about,” she said. “I’ll see people getting engaged on Facebook — it makes me mad. I want to be happy for them, but it’s very difficult for me to be happy. We were planning on having kids in a couple years.”

“It’s been a tough month for all of us,” Josh Obra wrote in an Instagram caption less than two months before he fell ill. “It’s just mentally exhausting thinking each night when I come home that I may be having symptoms the next day.”(The Obra family)

Less than two months before Josh and Jasmine Obra fell ill, Josh posted two pictures to Instagram: One was a photo of a fireworks display at Disneyland; the other was a picture of himself in medical scrubs, wearing a face mask, giving the peace sign.

“Heeeeeyo! It’s been a minute,” he wrote in the caption. “It’s been a tough month for all of us.” He worked with a vulnerable population, he said, and “it’s just mentally exhausting thinking each night when I come home that I may be having symptoms the next day.”

Even so, Josh was the kind of helpful, empathetic nurse who “makes things easier for everybody,” said colleague Sarah Depayso. He knew how to talk to patients and was attuned to others’ stress levels. “We were so busy, and it was ‘I’ll buy you lunch, I’ll buy you dinner, I’ll buy you boba.’”

It had been about 35 days since Disneyland closed its gates, Josh noted in his post. Josh’s photos — of the Sleeping Beauty castle framed by tabebuia blossoms, or of himself in an attention-grabbing Little Mermaid sweater — and corny jokes endeared him to thousands of followers on Instagram. “He had a way of capturing magic,” said his friend Brandon Joseph. The pictures were joyful, like memories of childhood.

Josh’s last post was on June 10, announcing that Disneyland planned to reopen in July. At some point the virus had reached his nursing home, infecting 49 staff members and 120 residents and ultimately killing 14 people. Approximately 41% of all U.S. coronavirus deaths are linked to nursing homes, where frail people live in close quarters, according to The New York Times.

After taking the virus test on June 12, his health deteriorated. On June 15, he messaged Joseph that he couldn’t take a full breath of air without feeling like he was being knifed in the chest. On June 20, he texted that he was at the hospital and that he had a particularly bad case.

The final time Josh spoke with his family, before he was put on a ventilator, was on June 21. “On our last video call together, I was isolated in Anaheim, quarantined, and our parents were at home,” Jasmine said. It was Father’s Day, “and I remembered crying and crying because this was the reality of what our family was.”

Josh’s family was not permitted to visit him in the hospital, and he died on July 6.

By coincidence, Josh, like his grandparents, was buried in the same cemetery as Walt Disney — Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Before the funeral, Jasmine walked over to Disney’s grave, she said. “I was like, ‘Hi, Walt. I hope you and my brother found each other.’”

Every night since he died, Jasmine has watched Southern California’s spectacular sunsets, the pinks and yellows that Josh kept returning to in his pictures. “And every time I feel like he’s with me. I look at the sky and sometimes I start talking to it, and I feel like I’m talking to my brother, and that he’s painting beautiful skies.”

She made the transition to film in 2012, and has been in a variety of independent films. Last year she produced and directed a feature length corporate video project for the County of Riverside. In addition to writing and directing Family Night, Alicia will also be taking on the role of Mom.

ALICIA DUFOUR

Actress Director Singer Dancer Model Artist

Alicia Dufour was born and raised in Southern California. She began performing in elementary school and was focused primarily on instruction in ballet and jazz dance. During her high school years, she continued to practice dance and also began to fully engage herself in the world of theatrics. While performing in upwards of 3 productions a year, Alicia gained experience in all aspects of theatrical stage production including back stage, costume and makeup, and had numerous supporting and lead roles. At graduation, Alicia went on to attend the University of California, Riverside and simultaneously began to study voice with instructors Bill Risinger and Denise DeMarco. During her college years, Alicia continued to study acting and Performing Arts at UCR and also did stage productions through In The Company Theatre and the Joshua Project. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Art History from UCR, and became involved with Mt. San Jacinto Performing Arts, performing in several major productions including WONDERFUL TOWN as Helen. During this time, Alicia was recognized with an Inland Theatre League nomination for her portrayal of Lucy in A CLASS ACT. She was also applauded for her role as a featured performer in the musical revue BLOCKBUSTERS AND SMALL WONDERS where she was featured in 21 of the 25 highlighted musicals and received an ITL nomination and rave press reviews. One of her favorite productions through Mt. San Jacinto Performing Arts was CABARET, in which she was the much talked about "trashy drummer.' Although it was a minor role, she was able to showcase her skills at improv and was singled out each night after performances by audience members who were impressed at her intense and memorable character. She also won an ITL for her role as Martha in the MSJC Performing Arts production of A PIECE OF MY HEART at the beginning of 2012. During her time with Mt. San Jacinto Performing Arts, Alicia continued to study acting, dance and voice. Alicia began concentrated vocal training through Julie Adams and continued to expand her dance background while studying modern dance and choreography through Julie Freeman and Gail Hoak. It was while under Gail Hoak's tutelage that she used her background in psychology to choreograph and perform her much talked about and controversial solo dance piece entitled AGATEOPHOBIC which dealt with the disturbing depiction of a woman losing her sanity. Alicia also became involved with the Ramona Bowl Repertory Theatre and appeared in multiple productions, including FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and OKLAHOMA. She was a stand-in for the role of Nellie Forbush and appeared as Ensign Janet McGregor in the RBRP production of SOUTH PACIFIC which starred Shezwae Powell. Simultaneously, she also performed as Hero in the Bowl's production of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Alicia has partnered with the Idyllwild Actors Theatre out of Idyllwild, CA as an assistant stage manager and a featured actor in multiple staged readings, such as REASONS TO BE PRETTY and THREE VIEWINGS and was nominated for another ITL for her performance in the IAT production of MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD. For The Ramona Hillside Players production of TEMPORARY INSANITY by Jeri Greene, Alicia was double cast as a spoiled, alcoholic fashion model and also as a flaky and dim-witted legal secretary Wendy. For this role she won an Inland Theatre League Award in 2011. Alicia began making the transition to film by studying acting through The fACTORy, working with actors Conor O’Farrell and Jamison Reeves. Soon after, she landed roles in two of the films by the Texas based indie film company Twitchy Dolphin Flix. In the summer of 2012, she was cast in the role of Deputy Karen Harper in the Lunatopia/Baylor film called VERTICAL by director Stephen Savage, working opposite Wolfgang Bodison. The film starred Marshall Bell, Irene Bedard and Elsie Kate Fiscer and won best independent feature at the 2015 London Independent Film Festival. In 2016, Alicia wrote her first short screenplay. She successfully directed the thriller film in Fall of 2018, while also portraying the lead role of the mother who, having felt abandoned by her family hosts a family dinner night to try to keep her family together forever. When Alicia isn't on set, she is a photographer and graphic designer, belly dances professionally and does vintage pin-up modeling.

Family Night Film Review by Jody Duncan, Editor at Cinefex Magazine

LOCAL LA FILMMAKER PRESENTS A UNSETTLING THRILLER ABOUT DESPERATION IN FAMILY NIGHT

In FAMILY NIGHT, written, directed and produced by Alicia Dufour, a palpable sense of menace underlies the mundane nature of a family meal. The initially subtle promise of violence soon delivers as the elegantly coiffed and dressed mother turns on her husband, daughter and son.

Under Dufour’s sure-handed direction, the 12-minute-long short is beautifully shot by director of photography Symeon Platts, and skillfully edited by Simon Myers.

Effective makeup effects by Eric Fox’s Morbx FX give the film its punch as ‘Mom’ (Dufour) disintegrates at the staid dinner table, and again, in a climactic, shocking reveal.

Among the film’s notable achievements is an original score by Mark D’Errico that is alternately bouncy and creepy – as is the film itself.

Gather round the table for Family Night – but I’d advise you: don’t be late for dinner!
