Escape the fortress indeed, for I fear the old saying that, if I can’t have you then nobody can, will put Simon at even greater risk. Since the battle plan is already set in motion, Simon may have limited time of usefulness with these crazy dead people.

And yet they view themselves superior to all others? 🤷‍♂️

So the rantings of a mad woman, are true words or messages of the gods. Wow, even the gods didn’t believe the prophecies would come to fruition after the lost generations; Simon is doubly special that he exist and that he still fights for his humanity. Most cannot imagine his multiple breaks to visit the afterlife, but then he holds council with the gods. The High Wizard Council of the Votu Alliance has become a pompous self-licking ice cream cone. Simon Lorall-Kingmaker is indeed a person to be held in high regard; despite his compromised mental state he has a valid excuse of enemy manipulation, not the hollow excuse of power fed arrogance.

Cooper has gone above and beyond…his reward, here are staff tee shirts and IDs, so LET’S get these trucks sorted! Haha Geoff just added to his staff. Who would want a resource like Cooper to step back and wash his hands of the event? So here is a complimentary shirt that makes you part of the staff…chop, chop, there’s work to be done. Haha 😛 Cooper may have just inherited the year round director and coordinator duties as he is the land owner and “property director” of what they now want as permanent facilities! 🤦‍♂️ 😆 I hope this is a true interest for Cooper as this tar-baby / spiderweb will have high level interest and attention that drives expectations for the future. Can you say in perpetuity? 🤣

Now, imagine that over and over and over again…that was their night. 🤣

While the emotions bring the group closer, the amnesia is a challenge; for both Ben and his friends family, and then the blood family. If Ben is determined unable to function for medical decisions, then the parents could easily make a decision to move him closer to home…their home, and care closer to them. So while Ben remains under hospital care there with his housemates and Samantha near, we have to hope he improves rapidly or recovers enough to function for his own life decisions; but remember, Ben is young, no permanent job or income, not in school, and will be at the mercy of whom ever says he will be provided for. Even then, this parents may still hold the most sway with his most immediate life decisions. Improve quickly Ben! Hopefully, crusty ole Cye has insurance, for both the ole tub (property) and for accidents (bodily injury, health insurance). Ben needs coverage and a job to show a stable environment for his release/recovery…unless he recovers everything very quickly and is released to his own care.

Nah, that’s not necessary…in hell!

Wow 😮, how did Jeremy ever survive, to be normal, with a manipulative bi@#$h of a mother called Laura. You wanted Dexter more than your happy son, so don’t blame others; that’s all on you! Poor Carter, still pulled in different directions, by his own past, his desire to please Sheila, Eric and Jeremy, yet they all seem to counter his happiness. Well, except Aunt Sheila seems to now understand. Eric? Hopefully he’s not another version of Dexter! Carter has yet to learn the truth of Ethan, Elena, or his true biological father for that matter. He/we really need a breakthrough from the past to bring light to the secrets yet to be revealed…and I believe it’s much more than Ethan being Carter’s brother! Bravo to Jeremy and Jeff, for not letting hysterical mom rule over their lives by threats and trickery; Halloween has passed you evil witch 🧙! Has she known about Dexter’s history with Ethan and Elena all along? Too much to be explained as coincidence between those two. 🤦‍♂️ 😈 Nasty, nasty woman.

Oh wow, just imagine that the chapter wasn’t label for POV BEN, perhaps New Awakening?? This paragraph says much for a mind awakening and rationalizing surroundings; lights, noises, and even people. Having awakened from my own post traumatic injury, I know this feeling. Between anesthesia, drugs, and body trauma, you’re not experiencing a normal wake up at all. Luckily the fog cleared up some what as the mind re-caged to the current environment, people, and the filling in of the blanks as they explained my situation; at least as much as the mind would accept and retain. But seeing this story having twists and turns, I could easily see this as a red herring playing on our minds, while the story might actually be introducing a new character. 😈 😆 But since it does say Ben…what happened from fishing to hospital? Was it the ship adrift and wrecked? What of the others? Or was it something later after their mighty fish adventure such as Ben tripped off the wharf? Or has the town Thompson drones overstepped yet again but this time hospitalizing Ben from the blow to his head? See! The mind is a terrible thing without reference. It rationalizes scenarios unlimited…as they could all happen on any unfortunate day ! Hahaha 🤣 😱

Wow, Cooper is just now learning more as to property holdings, with implied cash holdings significant enough to allow acquisitions without impact to construction upgrades; he really does need to brace but then find out just how much is now held in his name…total. it looks like Jasper may have come into his life with great timing for an honest friendship; though with the background check it makes me wonder if Jasper knows more than Cooper about his standings?? But the relationship developing appears to be sincere and honest, so hopefully it is just that.

Youthful innocence and angst can’t be engineered away…hmmm; the ole difference between like and like like. Hahaha 😬 Regardless the engineering of sexuality, who you like and find attractive, even within that predestined group, still remains a matter of communicating something more trusting and intimate between two.

Bravo, Matt and Jakob; Let’s Hear It For The Boys! Hmmm 🤔, education by see and do; got to love higher education, always more to learn. Now, can we get an instant replay of the new kid “getting sick?” Perhaps it will give a better understanding of how quick these viruses can infect their victims. 😜

Justin’s Island, A Gay Parody of Gilligan’s Island Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this [fishing] port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a [young] sailin' man, Skipper Cye, brave and sure, [with two mates they] set sail that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew the [Wanderer] would be lost. The [Wanderer] would be lost. The ship set ground on the shore of this [uninhabited] desert isle with [the young Mate Justin], the skipper Cye too. A [bi-curious young mate, Ben], [venturing without his girl]. [Two mates needed jobs], [so Matt was all in too]. [Now on this desert island], [lips or balls, which is first to turn blue]?

Oh my, I see the no guns allowed on property being a problem, especially with the recent shots fired, as the same can happen from the river itself. Perhaps none around the family, but perimeters and rovers allowed if military…no contractors. 🤷‍♂️

Wow, I hope that mom did indeed convey the message word for word, as often people will try to be more polite even when they are speaking on your behalf. Haha they could never work as international translators, whether business or political, that shit doesn’t fly. They ambulance company supervisor tried his bluff and got called, now he must live with it. He was initially short one man. Instead of stepping up himself, he probably pushed it down to the low man on the totem pole; now he’s short two people. So how did that work for you, man of no compassion. SMH

@Josh Aterovis, the suspense and thriller ball of twine tightened nicely as it all tied together, nicely done. Yes, how could anyone that followed through to complete this wonderful story, not want more of these diverse and dynamic characters. Please share with us the chronicles of the Killian series. I prefer chronological order or at least a series timeline for a better understanding of events. Thank you for sharing this story here with us.

I assume these new releases are all written but I have to wonder if Jake too is gifted. Likewise, what is the source of these gift and what is the meaning of these gifts? Yes, sadly I believe monster Todd was born of dad’s extreme behavior and introduction to murder…of a person I think Todd held dear. How could this early life fear not drive you crazy; so sad 😞.

Everyone enjoys a little excitement, don’t they?

Oh goodness, ouch; a sprawling, tumbling, belly flop from up high can be painful 😣. Luckily their youthful resilience still prevails. 😆 Dunking is touching, and hormones take over; yeah, once airways are tongue probed and confirmed open, it’s time to return to public reasoning. ☺️ Nice timeline reference @Mark Ponyboy Peters, of the seafaring housemates and allowing the other landlubber roommates to share their youthful shenanigans too; learning more about personalities and character of roommates builds that personal bond of their lifetimes; nicely done to tie them all together from afar.

Well congratulations daddy extreme, you turned your son into an obedient murderer. Hopefully Todd’s story of Uncle Rick was heard by witnesses; to give dear ole dad full credit for making him an accomplice to murder as a early teen, and training him to be a wacky extremist like yourself, dad. How ironic that Zach found Todd trashing Killian’s car, but in true Zach fashion, his arrogance has him blackmailing a murderer, Todd. Todd was haunted by the extremist son his father wanted. His haunting battled with his sanity, to win over reason. Killing all that is evil, but also that which is cherished, his Gilly. Todd resigned himself to the evils of his father, without the facade his family had protected. It seems highly unlikely Todd could have survived the injuries from, as named by Seth and others, Killer. How prophetic that Killian was spared to return as the Killer…of the killer.

As Ben stages himself to be Titantic’s Jack with arms outstretched on the bow, King of the World he was… Until he stubbles to be more of a Jumping Jack tossed for a random landing. Luckily, he fell into the arms of none other than his man crush, Justin. As S&S stand on the shore with a somewhat mirror image recreating the same rescuing embrace. Now the questions bouncing around the youthful heads of Sam, Scott, Ben and Jerry..ahem Justin, are just how do we come to understand these strange new feelings and observations of changing interactions? Just what is the real relationship of Scott and Justin? How will Ben react to increasing contact with Justin? And how will Justin’s perceptions of Ben’s relationship and sexuality change? Meanwhile, how will the group respond to the Terrible Thompson Torment? And the lack of Police protection? Will the senior store clerk become a source of support in this nice town with a darker side?

I guess all people have some difficulty understanding something that they have never experienced themselves. I myself found it difficult to understand sexual orientation and attraction as vocally the guys were all talking tits, curves, and ass. While the girls all wanted to get Intel from the locker room to fill in the missing visuals they had of the guys. But the guys weren’t also talking about the good looking guys, with great hair, shoulders, legs, and ass,…and what the guy tucked away in the locker room; nope, none of that, But conversely, girls would/could discuss their classmates in details that guys would be chastised from not seeing her inter beauty! But she has such a warm heart…which meant DO NOT BLIND DATE! So,…it was very confusing until I just accepted that I was unique or more honest about my feelings; at least to myself that is. I found that I just like whom ever I like, male or female, it matters not. Just the way most guys can start to have feelings for another girl than the one they were dating…before breaking it off. I would feel that way towards any guys or gals that I found interesting and attractive to me. Yes I dated girls in high school, as no boys of interest gave indications of mutual interest or feelings. I lost my V-card in high school to a girl, then I had my first guy sex within a year as a freshman in college. I dated both sexes casually until gaining a boyfriend. We became close roommates, as we slept together all the time and had a very active sex life. However, a mismatch in graduations and youth saying too early to settle down, I moved on for employment. I met a special gal, got married, had kids and a very successful career. As with many marriages, we started to drift apart. Oddly enough, with the marriage over, I found myself less interested or attracted to women anymore; whether from being burned or just attractiveness changing with the age group, I found myself much closer to thinking of being gay as the best descriptor. I can find a woman attractive and firth, but the interest kinda stops there, yet with a guy the interest will likely result in a hookup or a period of some level of companionship. So my experience is; you love who you love, and even that may vary on the ole Kinsey Scale with age, experience, and life influences. That’s my take on Bi-sex-you-all. 😊

Then again, maybe this explains so many cases of writer’s block and spontaneous hookups. 😛

The murderer wants you, so what do you do? KILLIAN, NO, NO, NO! Don’t go there, let the police know of the full context of the conversation and the claimed hostage scenario; maybe hostage, maybe party to crime. Remember? Poor impulse control, Gay identity issues, rush on Killian…hence oh shit upon knifing the stab victim??? Yes, claimed scenario. Is Jake a party to this? So is he a party to it, or does he only know of the killer? Likewise, why did he withhold that info of who met with Seth? I don’t hold to the belief that Jake is innocent nor do I subscribe to the notion that he’s not at least involved somehow. There seems to be too many coincidences. But can he be party to the misdeeds, yet, not the murderer himself? Is Jesse deserving of Killian’s sympathy or is the depression a sign of evolving mental issues? Did Jesse witness Zach’s murder or was he party to it in his mental rage? Even though the MO was the same, was the murderer of both boys the same? So, is the hostage situation real or a set up? Teamwork; Jesse/Jake? Todd/Jake? Todd/Jesse? Jake/Jake? Perhaps two is the real number, two people or two identities?
