While running the gauntlet called meet the relatives seemed to work just fine, I wonder about Isobel Bonner, might she be a source of funding for the restoration of the 'artwork"??
I can remember a TV series similar to this story called Kyle XY. To a point this story mirrors that show, at least in the beginning. One defining characteristic was that Kyle XY had no belly button....and it begs the question....
And talk about a craptastic day that was a total shitshow....
The following has me intrigued and worried, along with everything else that happened prior to overhearing the conversation...
“I don’t think it’s funny...”
Connor stopped. He looked down the hall, but couldn’t see M.
That was his laugh though. It floated down the hallway and Connor tensed up. Who was he talking to?
“Oh… Has this place ruined you already? How do you know so much about revenge?” the boy’s voice was soft but Connor could hear the amusement in it. He was definitely talking to someone.
“Well don’t do it again. He says he’s missing memories… He was inside that house…”
If you were going to go to the house, I would have taken Jack with me.
So kissing brought on another seizure, dear lord and for gosh's sake...take it slow!!
It may be time to reach out to Elethon and acquire the services of the Stealth Witch...it is well past time to put a hurtin on some of these bastards...
Simply thunderstruck and fighting denial on this sad news. Comicality was one of the very first authors I found back so many years ago. And through him, discovering so many other story sites and resources for our community.
He's left a big hole in our writing and story community and even larger shoes to fill, you will be missed and rest in peace...
Thank you for showing myself and others that it does get better.
Who would have thunk that beings from alternate galaxies, dimensions, parallel universes, and from parts hither and unknown would ever need one of the most basic sanitary conveniences...humm...unless they are used like Dr Who's telephone boxes???
Carefully opening the door, I found a well lit bathroom. There was a port-a-loo to the left and a plastic shower to the right. Well, even ritual murderers had bodily functions. Having a shower in the cold cellar was probably not pleasant. I wondered how they’d transported these things down here through the narrow staircase.
As to the cliffhanger....hang in there @Al Norris
Bingo...Asking why!!!!
“I didn’t forget.” M said angrily. “I’ve never eaten before. There’s a difference!”
“What, were you tube fed your whole life?” Connor chuckled in an attempt to lighten the suddenly tense conversation.
“Something like that,” M said quickly. “Look, I told you I was new to the world. It’s not amnesia. I didn’t forget anything. I just can’t tell you certain things.”
I as @weinerdog pointed out, am convinced M is somewhat playing the innocent game a bit too well...all through the first two chapters we see instances where he 'knows' some things but not other things...makes me go hummmmm
