Author's Note

[It is recommended that you read Gasoline first]

Thomas never planned for his life to be the way it was.

He never planned to be sitting in a jail cell, listening to the calls of his fellow inmates, their threats, their suffering.

He never planned for a life of imprisonment.

Newt never planned for his life to be the way it was.

He never planned to be in a job he hated, to be dealing with people who would despise him if they knew what he had been through.

He never planned on feeling lonely, on longing for the friends that were set to ruin his life.

Neither boy planned on missing each other.
