Months gone, swallowed by the Maze and the blank space where my memories should be. The bonfire rages tonight, heat washing over my skin. I perch on a split log, Minho, Thomas, Newt, Alby, Frypan, and Chuck sprawled around me. A brittle cheer hangs in the air. Across the flames, Gally is a knot of fury, shoving and shouting at other Gladers. Their drama, not mine. I track the scuffle until his head turns. Through the smoke and shimmer, his gaze finds mine and holds. The fire paints his sharp bones in gold, his expression carved from stone and shadow.
