    Chapter 13

    Stunned that Will asked and that Aidan was very supportive without hesitation. Good for him, as I know the previous events stressed them both and while the majority of blame is Will’s, neither is without some blame leading up to Will introduction to acrobatic action. So likewise, the doctor asked for a joint effort and joint commitment in keeping up with medications and diseases, and in the joint agreement to speak before leap; so follow-up with the doctor as this medication treatment and therapy is an evolving thing until comfortably proven and managed. Caitlin’s pregnancy could be contrived or the initial indications could be stress related; did she actually test positive or was there an assumption from symptoms, however… Planned Parenthood would not go forward with a treatment plan without testing. So IF Caitlin is actually getting treatment, then pregnancy should have been confirmed, but if Caitlin didn’t ever seek treatment and is carrying on with a ruse then perhaps that’s a good reason she doesn’t think Will should attend the next ultrasound. It was a little suspicious the way Caitlin previously asked about monetary support, as if looking with expectations of Will making a commitment that he has already said is too hard to make at this point. But the wording was not do you think you’ll also be able to help financially, nope, how able monetary help. So as this storyline continues I must admit I’m very suspicious of her whole story…from family to pregnancy. Likewise, could Joey have been freaking out under pressure from Cartland and possibly others that planned extortion that overwhelmed his simple mind? So personal denial, loss of his BFF, and depression from loss of control…yet, the depression sets up more depression and acting out. The lack of Joey’s cooperation in giving “support” could be a motive that easily becomes violent when the pregnancy and support is unreportedable when little baby Ruse is without presence.

    Chapter 13

    But I saved this note, and I even rubbed and flattened it nicely after I folded it and stuffed in my pocket this morning; but see it’s laying down fairly well now. 🤦‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ How did he expect the detective to gleam information from just reading it… Nevertheless, the detective was dismissive and arrogant. We’re done with it kid, go home. 😳 Thank goodness Aidan is there to calm Will and give him focus. but after being dismissed at the police station Will actually focused and gave himself a break from the whole Joey was murdered situation. While the possibility of Joey being murdered is real, Will does not understand the process and logic of evidence gathering. He’s more likely to destroy more evidence than he collects at his current rate. Aidan is rightfully concerned about Caitlin’s relationship with Joey and now Will. While his questions were perhaps too forward for casual discussion and dinner, it was a great opportunity to challenge the blind faith embrace that she’s got from Will. Given that she formally told Will that she would accept, and be asking for, his help, I don’t believe it unrealistic to offer her support by going to the doctors visit; after all, the ultrasound is to verify a normal healthy pregnancy. Should there be concerns otherwise, Caitlin would likely want and need support upon learning of possible complications with her pregnancy or any health issues with the baby. If Caitlin speaks the truth, then support from her family is highly unlikely and risky to pursue as it could become hostile very quickly. I still think Joey’s mom would be a common sense courtesy to notify. However that doesn’t mean you have to abide by her wishes or demands should it get to a point of burdensome to include her in the process.

    Chapter 12

    Forensics on a shotgun shell is a mixed bag, it might could return a fingerprint but that is less likely than it is likely. It doesn’t means you can’t try but it could contribute to some departments prioritizing to save money over identifying someone the prosecutor probably isn’t going to charge on that along. It’s hard to know the full extent of budgets, training, court priorities, etc. Likewise, while there is good and bad in all walks of life, given the millions of gun owners and the percentages to gun violence by lawful gun owners is rather small. Even given my situation as a gun owner where I was a victim, but it was not where I needed to pull my gun a blazing. Likewise I still believe firmly in the right to bear arms. The true preponderance of violence is from illegal possession, repeat offenders, that our judges and lawyers allow to continue avoiding punishment of any real consequences. Likewise, the media likes to sensationalize the mass shootings. The higher percentage of these situations have people known to be unfit to have access to firearms or shouldn’t even be free in society, yet the laws go overboard to protect the unfit at risk to the mainstream public. The Baker Act sets the bar higher so that family members can’t commit rich old Auntie and then live high. Yet the skill professionals that have been empowered to act, refuse to do so. When someone under treatment, with family members begging that action to commit be taken, subsequently kills people in a mass shooting, the gun gets the blame. Criminal Negligence is hardly ever pursued against these professionals that know there is a significant risk, but don’t act because they want to minimize the trauma to the unhealthy person still allowed in general population by these professionals own choice to treat in public. Any deaths are tragic, but like airline crashes that get lots of attention when they happen, airline travel remains the safest mode of transportation over any other mass transportation system. Mass shooting are tragic, but the perpetrators known to law enforcement and/or the medical profession to be a high risk needs to have the laws on the books utilized for mandatory detainment and evaluations before the public pays the price. This past two years has seen significant numbers mowed down by terrible acts of terror with vehicles yet it doesn’t get the attention or press that a gun gets…but the death counts says it should. Identifying these people with behavioral instabilities from observations and family members’ inputs is essential. The family members can’t have them committed directly but it should invoke state mandated reviews within hours of reports of risk…it’s law, otherwise it’s criminal negligence. Butcher knives, cars, and baseball bats don’t need to be outlawed and neither do the guns. More people will die from vehicle accidents this weekend than all the so called assault weapons deaths of the last several years. Perhaps cars do need to be outlawed? Weekend trauma clinics have a strong argument to outlaw standard kitchen knives commonly used for stabbings. Road rage crash statistics are definitely on the rise also, insurance companies are witnessing significant increases in crashes other than accidents.

    Chapter 3 of 10

    Well Troy has some significant frustrations about his gay partner experience and expectations. He doesn’t have normal friendships, it seems more like a collective of misfits. As Troy says to his friend Kathy, you have to believe as it’s in the Bible, and so Try believes he can conjure and communicate with these demons. Hmmm, 🤔, is there a special white candle that gives me a high speed connection with god? I feel like my connection is either broken or misrouted, cause all I get is ..you got to believe! So on the converse side of these argument, Troy does certainly seem to believe. These conjurings and blood rights are not of a healthy and well balanced mind, and by no means good for a relationship. Though Seth has improved in his awareness and meaningfulness in life, this is bound to change if Troy keeps trying to force his will upon others. He is oblivious capable of making friends by putting forth effort. Stop bing so self serving and live free of your own conjured demons.

    Chapter 12

    Yes, as soon as he realized the package contained the necklace and note I would have drop it …hands off, call the police to come, don’t handle it any more even if going to turn it in to the police, no! Stay there and let the police decide the course of action and investigation impact. But…we could always handle it, fondling it to tie a knot, wear it to make sure skin cells that may have been left by the killer is well diluted or worn alway…while you decide on your next course of action. I’m sure Aidan is cleaning and taking the trash out too, as that envelope surely makes the trash can look full. A few kitchen scraps tossed on top, compressed to tie up the bag, and away we go. Farewell to any fingerprints, postal registration, stamping, or forensic tracking. 🤦‍♂️ Back in my college days, I was held up at gun point at my part time gas station/store job. As the police showed up, I refused them general entry as I spoke through the curbside window. 😂 . They repeatedly told me it’s ok, but I refused them general entry stating not until a fingerprint forensic team showed up; this all for a curbside window brief of where the perps had laid hands about the store. They were surprised at the number of places and opportunities to collect fingerprints…and that I had seen and remembered the whereabouts and details of their fumbling about while awaiting their moment to act. Then ironically the sheriff of which had issued my concealed weapon permit showed up and greeted me in front of the investigators. He asked where my weapon was, if I had it. I reached immediately below the cash drawer and showed them the revolver I carried. He asked why I did use it of wish I responded that I didn’t think the situation was turning disparate as long as I could quickly give them money and be honest about all cash locations; of which there was only one as I showed the little safe was open and empty. The sheriff and investigators nodded and I returned revolver to its spot; the investigation continued. i spent hours and multiple days going through mugshot books, yes before the internet, but I was able to pick out the shots…finally. Months later they were arrested and fingerprinted in association with breaking and entering, thief, and sale of stolen goods. The fingerprints then associated them back to my armed robbery and mugshot identifications. They received a good number of years in prison, where as a victim I would get letters for input before their parole hearings. Crime may paid, but it has a high overhead if/when caught.

    Chapter 12

    You mean a script that somewhat explains why you’re shooting up the town in a car chase that results in multiple crashes, explosions, and possibly after thousands of ammo rounds being fired…oh my, someone got shot, it’s just a flesh wound?

    Maybe a tragic comedy where everything keeps going so wrong for Will that he is jumping from one tightrope to another as he goes from day to day? 😂

    Chapter 12

    Yes, the necklace… hmmm 🤔. Caitlin could still be a suspect in that the killer could have had a scuffle with Joey causing the necklace to break and fall noticed or unnoticed by the killer, but not seeing or finding it quickly they could have left just to get away from the obvious scene. But a witness could have then picked it up not having the courage to tell the story to the police; many would be suspects with Joey’s recent history, so why put yourself on the list? If Caitlin was directly involved, it makes no sense to me that she would have waited under the tree…unless she hoped for another to give her an alibi; but that seems less likely at first glance. So was she shocked that Will had it because that could make him suspect or that he might know more than he confessed to her? Much mystery but still not enough information to form a clear picture yet.

    Act II - Memory

    Oh goodness, that makes the Cliffhanger even more cruel… We interrupt the witch to take this break, just know that the preempted content will be shown in its entirety next week, meanwhile, for an update on the Eurovision competition. Let’s review the selection process…

    Chapter 25

    Interesting may be an understatement. Will they stay in writers mode or will they become hostile reporter mode? How much info have they already collected on Tony Scott, celebrity writer? Like the ambush at the restaurant, there’s always someone trying to elevate themselves above someone that holds a spot they envy. Will Tony be quick to show just how normal he and all his friends are, in light of claims of abnormal abominations; where the abnormal is really the antagonist sitting in the club challenging him.

    Act II - Memory

    It’s hard not to hate the selfish, sanctimonious, and arrogant Witch Bitch Mom; man, Gabriel doesn’t remember her from childhood, and that’s a good thing. But I can’t image just how much he hates her at this moment just before she spills her guts…ahem, mind?? I can only image that it will then be even worse. I like how the Lord Vampire Protector stood in indifference as I’m sure he understood this would only go so far and then ricochet…or boomerang back to the 🧙‍♀️ witch. Cruel cliffhanger though as the powerful spell, loaded with all the power she could muster and then some, sustained for an unexpectedly long stretch as she brought all she could bear for repeated demands to SPEAK THE TRUTH! Now if the entirety of the spell boomerangs…the 🧙 witch should be squirming with excruciating pain as she spills her plan, then spills her plans from the beginning, and perhaps spills her long involvement in wolf affairs.

    She even stated that reality just before it happened, so correction “Stupid Bitch, what do you know?”

    Oh do tell all mommy dearest, 🧐 🧐. This should be most juicy. As hopefully she divulges all from the beginning of her influences over wolves. Perhaps we’ll learn of the old King and just why Mommy Dearest is so worried about the return of the Guardians?
  17. Neither a branding iron nor a cattle prod would be anything more than a good start for vengeance on Ian. He needs that brand somewhere prominent like a cheek, as hands can be excused too easily when simply gloved, with something satanic like the devil he is. Then…let the real revenge commence, after his little Ian styled off the books incarceration, every victim needs a public forum to declare the misdeeds of this sadistic SOB. Then put him in prison, in the communal (gen population) holding, along with all the surviving victims he had imprisoned. Dead by a thousand cuts would be too kind though maybe necessary so that Ian can no longer manipulate the narrative with his remaining contacts…the ones also worried to be exposed. But wait, Amanda should be charged as accomplice as well as Natalie, so the implications need to be uncovered quickly; before the rats all flee the sinking ship named IAN. Now Ian wants to silence that boy, the one that could ruin him. To whom is that boy that Ian speaks; Gael, Carlos, or is it the snake called Leo. That’s one connection through Natalie we know to having been disclosed to Gael, but what of his close relationship with Ophelia? Is that just a hopeful Mom-in-Law thing or is it much deeper? But likewise, Natalie exposed herself as being of the same manipulative cloth as Ian. So whether working together with Amanda or on her own, Natalie needs to go…even Carlos deserves better and a second chance free of Ian.
  18. Man, look at that nice hardtop road. That is one expensive work project, but less foundation materials required and less surface prep as a cobblestone road; imagine how tough on those horses’ hooves and ligaments.
  19. IEDs that blend right in there…kaboom, gotcha.
  20. The intro-douchion has been received, as being worst than the old Jeff is warning enough that a 1 mile separation in residences just…doesn’t seem enough. Unfortunately, a little of the old Jeff still rang through as he divulged things said and done between Michael and Stephen with expectations of privacy. i’ve always said that telling your best friend something in secret is a foolish notion, as your best friend may have another best friend themselves that they share that secret with, and that best friend has another best friend that they share that secret with too, etc., etc.,… So, the old saying, “two can keep a secret, if one of them is dead.” That was the disappointment of this chapter, Jeff is making progress, but still has a ways to go in understanding how to respect others. Otherwise, this is a fairly progressive Chapter. Heck, come out to your parents and win a double bed! 🤣 I had conservative parents, I would have kept my mouth shut, and would have been tickled to just enjoy a two man tent on the occasion parents and weather allowed a sleepover. 😎 After all, we all know a fantasy is more intense if you’re only inches away from your fantasy boy. 😢

    Chapter 1 of 10

    Oh goodness, Troy is not just a Christian antagonist wearing a pentagram pendant, he believes himself to be conjuring, dark spirits, and perhaps Satan himself. His personality doesn’t give us the impression that he is anything other than a Goth. The fact that he is a sexually depressed teenager toying with the ideas and hopes of putting a spell on his ideal crush, is not what would stereotypically be imagined as a Satanist. That seems to me as normal teen frustration as they find themselves drowning in anxieties over her friendship and relationship emotions, or perhaps more likely overwhelming frustrations. Ironically, he is actually making Seth more aware of other people’s feelings and existence, thinking beyond his normal drinking and partying nature; so as a Satanist Troy has Seth on a seemingly better path of life at this time. So whether we have a true Satanist or a depressed teen that now identifies as a Satanist due to his wishes for his ideal crush to fall for him seems to have come true. Perhaps this is where understanding the disgruntled and frustrated teen interaction Troy had with his mom would help us out in understanding the true Troy. Not that the mom of a teenage boy has the greatest insight, but her point of view may help explain more of what we see and understand about Troy. Now that Troy has Seth on a better path, we can only hope that Seth will now pull Troy to a better path and perhaps see the strength of this young gay teen relationship. Prove to be a love story, after all, how many is satanist would identify themselves as I romantic? 🤣

    Chapter 11

    Was I a suspect? To what? Will attended a party and was only witness to standard party crimes: alcohol, weed, pills, etc. Fleeing the scene of a crime? Will didn’t commit a crime, didn’t witness a crime (other than to himself), therefore is not fleeing with awareness or direct knowledge of a crime he nor anyone else committed. Is he a material witness? Possibly yes, depending on the investigation and whether police, prosecutors, or defense counsel feels his presence is necessary as alibi or witness. That requires convincing a judge to issue warrants ONLY if there is a risk of a no show or if view a hostile witness. Do I need a lawyer? I would, having seen some shit work of police and detectives building a case on their beliefs versus on were solid evidence takes the case. The police are not your friend, if any questions concern you or ask verification of your whereabouts, plead the fifth and let them build a case if they can. It’s something of a risk as it invites simple police and detectives to take a path of lease resistance. However, if Will has a solid alibi with the girl it’s not long before he’s less attractive…but a single person alibi is risky in that some may not cooperate, may disavow knowledge, etc. But sometimes the first 24-72 hours of a murder case is just investigating, yet some departments rush an arrest, but then suffer if unable to build a charge worthy case within the holding time limit. Sometimes being in holding can keep any circumstantial evidence from being collected as the police and detectives will scrutinize every activity and contact that you have while remaining free; yes, a fish is guilty of hanging out in water, so one is no more guilty than another without more direct correlation of evidence. Does Will need to talk to the Doc? Absolutely, he’s just been assaulted, with attempted rape at least (rape in many states), and to top it off, his best friend did this to him, and he’s the one dead. HOWEVER, doctor patient confidentiality is moot for attempted suicide or in cases of murder in many states. So speaking to the doctor needs to be done with care and careful wording. Likewise, unless Aiden seeks a joint appointment for his own PTSD associated with Will’s care, then doctor patient confidentiality may include him, but going as just a confidant and a supporter for Will would unfortunately be a mistake. Should murder charges be levied against Will, confidentiality will not apply to Aiden and Aidan would have full knowledge to the entire session and all of Will‘s comments would be unprotected via Aiden.

    Chapter 11

    Though it’s always an emotional situation and likewise with the decision, but Joey’s mom would be a good source for possible help if the decision is to keep the child; not that it’s her obligation or responsibility, but likewise, it will be her grandchild and a connection to Joey for them as parents. The worst they say is no way, but they may actually want to sincerely help and be a part of the child’s life.
