CHAPTER 21 December 24, 2019 – 19:30 EST WORLD END: T-minus 77 Days, 15 Hour, 30 Minutes INT. UNITED STATES NETWORK STUDIO - WASHINGTON D.C. - NIGHT The air in the USN studio smelled of ozone, burnt coffee, and setting spray. A hermetically sealed bubble of high-definition reality, chilled to a crisp sixty-five degrees to keep the pundits from sweating through their pancake makeup. Mitch Callahan sat at the center of the anchor desk, a silver-haired monolith of cable new

I worked in this monestary as a professor, it was actually where I earned my official academic title. I was working for the Cambodian government and running a nationwide English program. It was... beautiful, challenging and rewarding work. When given the Ancient East as my challenge prompt I thought, write what you know. So... this.

I really enjoyed that! I do enjoy the surprise ones, good work and thanks!
-
It was fun to write a dude with a different kind of power Just honest, and hard working despite the fact that he's got no options open to him, but he has someone that loves him without condition
-
Thank you to GA for this year, with sincere love. I have been writing my socks off, and you guys have 1. read 2. hosted. 3. reviewed.. 4 been awesome.... and just great people Merry Christmas
-
I chose this one for you, you like these ones better than the rich boy pairings.
-
Georgie left, Finn right.
-
I'll write more about them in the New Year, I enjoy their dynamic.
-
Finn sees himself as unworthy of Georgie, who adores him for everything he does. Relationships, and real romance is showing up, working hard, and earning each other.

Tomorrow we go Post-Apoc-christmas. Bill and Rat save Christmas... and themsevles for Cannibal Boy Scouts... (I swear I haven't been drinking... a lot.)

Gotta have hope, and it helps to have a nice bum!

This one is a VERY old piece of mine, we're going back to 1998 here... I've worked on it, polished it... These two characters are a very old pair of mine, so... love them like I have for nearly thirty years.

Part I: The Shortfall The radiator in the hallway was making that noise again—a rhythmic, metallic clunk-hiss that sounded like a dying lung. It was the soundtrack to Finn’s life, that noise. That, and the muffled bass thumping through the ceiling from the wannabe grime MC in 4B, a kid who called himself DJ Krush but whose mum still did his laundry. Finn stood in the doorway of the flat, the condensation dripping down the inside of the frosted glass pane. He didn’t want to go in

Finn and Georgie are broke Finn decides that he's going to give Georgie The kind of Christmas he deserves. Georgie decides he's going to show Finn Why Finn is the man he loves. Not even the Estate can crush that.

Yes, he lost control there, Andrew's grief is very different to Will's. Will gains control from it, Andrew slips. But as Doc observed, Andrew is the weapon that Hale built for Abernathy to destroy Will, in the end that weapon destroyed Abernathy. It's also a clue to the conditioning that Hale was trying to build, the real reason for the supposed Aphasia, and the nature of what's been done to Andrew. I wasn't expecting someone to see right through it so fast, but @drpaladin is a perceptive old G.O.A.T.

I mean Andrew's not completely unarmed. Just wondering how he smuggles it into the White House....
-
Will just needs a chance to think, the moves he's played so far have been audacious, cunning, and pulled from seemingly nowhere (usually after long debates with old friends of mine, lots of Baileys in my coffee and a decided amount of 'What would I do if I were him' ) I have a gambit left, And two days to pull it off. It required rewriting much of the ending of the book... that's THREE different endings for this thing so far... about 10000 words of cut chapters, and editing. I'll post some favourites at another point, as they just no longer fit the narrative, but are too good to just throw away. I am also realizing that the Coyote books are definitely separate now, but given they're written more like it anyway it's all right.

Bastards put a missile through the Peace Tower... any idea on how long that's gonna take to buff out!!!! :: grumbles in polite Canadian about Americans and their pin-point accurate multi-million dollar cruise missiles dinging the stone work! ::
-
I live about halfway along it, right where the dang HS2 cuts an eyesore right across it and my damn backgarden!
-
I hate those things... Government approved extortion in little yellow boxes... there's one down the Fosse Way near me,,, that regularly has "Accidents"
-
I know I know, I was getting it confused for another gun... again... This is why @drpaladin is awesome, he reminds me not to be silly, with a cuff to the back of the head.
