    Chapter 4

    This is just heartbreaking! "I am not a Paladin," Will hissed. "I am a butcher." He opened his eyes. The drawing stared back. The stick figure Dad looked heroic. He looked good. "That is a lie," Will told the crayon figure. "That man doesn't exist anymore. I killed him so you could sleep at night."

    Chapter 7

    “He’s not ahead of us anymore.” A single, small rock clattered down from the darkness above, its echoes bouncing between the stone walls like mocking laughter. “He’s above us.” OOPS!
  3. That is in the running for the 'least-drama-when-confronted-by-the-parents-the-morning-after-sex' I have ever seen. Way chill.
  4. Beautiful chapter dealing with some tough issues!
  5. After a series of alarming dreamscapes, it is good to see Crowe reunited with Barghast, who's happy to have him back!

    Chapter 3

    With El Coyote on the case, Andrew will no doubt be back in safe hands soon!
  8. Great chapter! A fantastic wedding. I'm bummed that at no ceremony in my life did anyone care enough to create a nude sugar sculpture of me!

    Chapter 1

    A great start! I love the way the narration flirts with a stream of consciousness style without slipping completely into it.

    Chapter 6

    This is a great line: The poker game that ensued was a masterclass in psychological warfare disguised as genteel leisure.

    The Temple

    A wild ride! That scene was terrifying.
  12. Just so we are all on the same page, I swear this is a work of fiction and NOT from the autobiography of my dreery, miserable self. Thank you for the kind words, though.
  13. Great chapter! Your mention of gay chicken reminds me of the wonderful Norwegian short film "Gay Chicken". I have to go watch that again now.
  14. Oooh! The plot thickens. This is great!
  15. Interesting chapter. Liam seems to be unsure if Adrien is stalking him or if this is the start of Something Big. 😁
  16. If you decide none of the roles fit your talents, you can always be in charge of the casting couch.
  17. The Dickens classic presented Scrooge's behavior as a moral failing for sure, and I suspect that even today, Brandon's "flaws" would be seen as moral failings in some quarters, but autre temps, autre moeurs.
  18. Alas! Brandon is in the present still, and the boots are in the future. Maybe Brandon does invent the boots and claim mega coin. Maybe the future boots were a collaboration between Charles and Tommy, and Brandon just nixed that. The new and improved Brandon does seem the sort to regard the trade of fab boots for a hunky neighbor as a fair exchange, so I think he'll be happy.
  19. All done! We leave Brandon and his neighbor to get acquainted in private!
  20. As I threw back the coverlet and climbed out of bed, I noticed a couple of odd things. First, I was wearing a pair of freaky red underdrawers similar to the ones that Sergeant Santa had been sporting all night, and a trail of clothes led towards the Jacuzzi sounds, shiny leather boots and a discarded red bikini. I followed the gurgling cautiously, and found a beautiful bathroom, almost as big as the bedroom, beige sandstone and buff marble, recessed lighting, a Jacuzzi sunk in the middle of the

    Chapter 2

    I'm all for it, except I'm pretty sure the present US administration would force the 45-minute war option out of sheer hubris. Lots of money to be made in the ruins of civilization.
  22. Hoo, boy! That Åke has a boy in every port! His technique of chess as foreplay is unique, but it works quite well.
  23. Wish that I had thought of that!

    Chapter 5

    Quite the gun battle! Sawyer; a teenage deputy; and Theo, the stable hand, emerge with limited damage. On the other side of the ledger, of five henchmen of the red sash, one is killed by Sawyer, one is killed by Theo, one is shot through the leg by Levesque, one is unarmed by a shot from Levesque. One of Levesque's victims has his shoulder chewed up by Jack to the point that his 'screams turn to gurgles', which sounds like either the jugular or the carotid is severed. In any event, only the leader and one severely injured henchman are left at the end. As the Marshall observes, "Hell of a stand!"
  25. After the last echoes of the ringing bells died away, I sprawled on the couch for several minutes without hearing a noise except the wind whistling through the trees outside. Not even the mouse of poetic fame stirred. Deciding that everything that had gone on so far was just a dream, I expelled my breath heavily, puffing out my cheeks, when suddenly I heard a resonant bass voice booming from the dining room, "We're late... a lot of holiday traffic tonight. Get in here and let's go now! Stop wast
