Chapter 28: Will

"Neverending Story" by Limahl

And what a never-ending story it's been. We've been following this family through 23 years, and get to see the start of a third generation.

 

It's been a pleasure playing DJ for you guys throughout the story of Brad's coming of age in the 80's. Hopefully, someday I'll be playing DJ again to showcase Darius, JJ, Marie, and Will as they navigate adolescence in the 90's through the 2000's. But until then....*takes a final bow*

2023 me: Holy crap, I had really had no clue what we were all in for, in the best meaning of the term. It really has been a blast over nearly 15 years of working with Mark on this saga. And you really can call it a saga now.

Hardly a final bow. Quite being so dramatic. :P

Hey. If I wasn't being melodramatic, then I wouldn't be Jeremy Smith. I'm just sayin', man. I have this perfect bow that I practiced back in 9th grade for shows, and hell if I ain't going to use it now. *takes another perfect, final bow.*

When I first read your post, I thought you said you had a perfect bow that you practiced back in 9th grade for showers. I mean, I know you went to a gay-friendly school, but that's REALLY gay-friendly.

Come on now. I went to a performing arts high school. You think any of us actually took showers in gym class? We didn't even have sports teams.

Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall

Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all

But maybe sometime if you feel the pain

You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed

Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won

Soldier on, only you can do what must be done

You know in some way you're a lot like me

You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free

 

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

 

Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)

Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road

I can make it, I know I can

You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man

 

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

 

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea

I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me

 

Just once in his life a man has his time

and my time is now, I'm coming alive

 

I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly

Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

 

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

 

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea

I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me

Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'

Oooh, burnin' inside of me... (to fade)

 

****

I convinced Mark to name the story Man in Motion, because really, I think that this song describes exactly where Brad was at in 1985.
