Lost in Orbit: Teaser

Here is the teaser to chapter 34 - Meet the McCarty's. I am posting this teaser earlier, as I'll forget to post it otherwise.
"Maybe its best that I didn't meet him then," I joked. "One of you is enough."


I expected him to laugh, or grin even. But I didn't even manage to get the corners of his mouth to turn up.

"You have met him before," he said after a long moment of silence.

"What? When?" I asked as my brow furrowed in confusion. I couldn't remember ever meeting him, and I think I would remember meeting someone like that.

His expression was hesitant as he began. "It was a couple of weeks ago when I… found you in the park. He was the one I called to help get you home."

I tensed at the first mention of that day. My heart started beating faster, and my hands went cold and clammy like every time I thought about Emmett talking to me about it. Except this time, there was no escaping.

Here is the teaser for chapter 33 - I'm Sorry You're Not Happy.

"We need to talk about this," she said, her voice shaking. In that moment, she looked smaller than she usually did, and I wondered whether that was what fear and uncertainty did to you.

"What is there to talk about?" I asked monotonously. I thought she was going to back down and not continue. No, I hoped that she was going to do that, but she didn't.

"We need to talk about what you did," she continued resolutely. "And we need to talk about why you did it."

My gaze hardened as I stared at her. "Why don't you tell me why you do it, and then you'll find your answer."

She pursed her lips, which stopped the way they had been quivering. "This isn't the same thing."

"Too fucking right this isn't the same thing," I spat, my hands shaking. "But the reasons will still be the same. You do it because you want to forget and escape the constant feeling inside your chest that doesn't fucking disappear."

Lost in Orbit: Teaser

Here is the teaser for chapter 32 - This Bottle is My Escape:

I decided that I would do a couple of laps around the park, let the dog have a run around, and then go back home. But as I rounded the corner into the park, my eyes landed on the row of benches along one side, or more precisely, the person that was sprawled across one of them.


I was suddenly reminded of the Family Guy episode where Chris and a friend found a dead body and started poking it with a stick. In no way was I saying this dude was dead, nor was I about to start poking him, but I still wanted to get a closer look. But as I did so, I started to realise that he looked a hell of a lot like… holyshit.

I let go of the dog lead and sprinted towards the benches. "Jasper?" I exclaimed as soon as I was near enough. I crouched down beside him and shook him softly. The panic settled in pretty quickly when he still didn't respond.
