   Summary

   The cold, dead air of the approaching winter bit at them through the open windows as they sped away from their old life. The dark, bloodied, blotted stain of Jerusalem's Lot and all that lurked in it couldn't be mentioned again. Ben maintained this philosophy for a long time.

   ---------------

   Ben and Mark coping immediately after Barlow's death. A lot more father-son content, and Mark comfort because he deserves better :((( tags to be added
