    Summary

    They both told her how they'd been sure she was dead – the pool of blood around her head, her dull eyes slipping shut, the stillness of her chest.

    Rumi promised and lied – she was fine, fine, fine.

    With each reassurance, the patterns burned and pushed underneath her skin like branches spreading across the sky.

     


     

    Rumi can die. She just can’t stay dead. Until the Honmoon determines her work is done, it will bring her back again, and again, and again. With each death, Rumi falls apart a little more. Will there be anything left to bring back by the end?

    -or-

    Five times Rumi dies and one time she doesn’t.

    Summary

    Gigi fell backward beneath her, pulling Cecilia down by the front of her sleep shirt. The mattress dipped under their combined weight. Cecilia caught herself on one forearm so she wouldn’t crush her, and Gigi immediately curled a leg around her hip, smiling up at her.
    For a moment, they merely looked at each other.

    Summary

    Cold.
    That is what Rumi feels, and then nothing.

    Rumi opens her eyes.
    ‘A train?’
    “I’m not talking about the song! I’m talking about YOU!”
    or
    Rumi kills herself after the Idol Awards and enters a Time-loop, where she confronts her fear of losing people and not being good enough.

    Summary

    This is what Rumi knows to be true: Zoey and Mira don’t want her.

    Zoey and Mira don’t want her, and she does not want herself, and so she goes to the only other person who might.

    (She always found herself jealous of euthanized dogs)

    Or

    As Zoey and Mira walk towards their impending doom, into Gwi-Ma's gaping maw, the entire world waits with bated breath for a hero. For someone to come with a song, a light in the dark, to save the day. But, no one does. And as destiny falls apart and fate screams in disapproval, the Honmoon reaches out to fix a cosmic error. Again, and again. No matter how many times it takes.
