    Summary

    Pete wins the Walk. He shoots the Major. He does everything right. He still comes back to the starting line at the end of it though.

    Or

    Pete is stuck doing the Walk over and over again. No matter how things end, he always comes back to the moment where he met Ray Garraty. The moment that matters most. The Walk is hard and unforgiving, but it's better than being alone. They make do.

    Summary

    “You ain’t gonna leave me, Ray?” he murmurs.

    The only answer is the wind in the trees. Someday soon he’s going to step off his porch and walk and walk, and he’s going to slow to the perfect stop and he’ll be there, Ray, and the Long Walk will have two winners. He can do it. Someday soon he’ll get it.

    ———

    Peter McVries, in the aftermath.

    Summary

    His new job was the most coveted on campus, and for good reason: it paid well. It paid very well. It was the kind of job everyone applied for, and not many even got an interview. Of course, there was a catch. Walker’s had an infamously high employee turnover rate.

    --

    Ray's barista gig sucks absolute ass, but at least the guy training him seems pretty cool.
