Summary
“I get like this, sometimes,” Benson admitted. “Really, um – up.”
Silence stretched. The set of Randy’s jaw told Benson he had no intention of filling it.
Benson sighed, rubbing his eyes. “And, uh, one of the ways I come back down is,” he gestured at nothing, “y’know, uh –”
“Sleeping with strangers?” Randy asked, and the anger was different now, heavy in the air between them. It tasted like salt, like sticking his tongue in a socket.
Benson shrugged. “Pain.”
“Pain?”
“It –” Benson sighed. “It needs to hurt. Otherwise it won’t work.”
___Benson has an itch that needs scratching. Randy offers a safer alternative.

Erasure Poem (or, The Narrator Writes the First Draft of the Rest of His Life) by thenewgothicromance

Summary
Randy almost doesn’t understand how it happened, even though he’s the one who started it. Three weeks ago he’d never had sex with anyone, never thought about doing it with a guy, didn’t think much about doing it at all. And maybe that means there’s something wrong with him, but he’s not stupid—he understands that Benson wants this from him. And if Randy can use that to keep them on track for a little while, maybe Benson will come back to himself. Will shake off the shock, and tell Randy what the plan is.

Summary
It’s been almost twenty years since Benson Roche was sentenced to carry out four life sentences at G.H. Lemoine Correctional. Twenty-one since he had murdered his and Randy’s coworkers on a cool and bland January morning, since he had beaten Elliot Sheppard to death in the middle of Bill Snyder Elementary’s parking lot, had taken Miss Beard hostage only at Randy’s insistence he not kill her, had shot Marsha at the end of her shift at the Kutzburg Diner. Twenty-one years since he had forced Randy to drive around town with him for hours, laughing at him, maybe believing it was with him—driving around and never once trying to leave town, intent only on curing Randy of all that made him the most pathetic 21-year-old he had ever seen. Twenty-one years since he gave Randy the small white divot scars on either side of his shoulder that still twinge now and again in a flutter of permanently-confused nerves.
Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s captor. Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s only friend in the world, if only for a day. Since he had created the clean and even division of years in Randy’s life—Before Benson and anno Domini nostri Benson Roche.
In seven months, he'll be eligible for parole.
