  1. Chapter Six: The Curator of Safe Things The Morning Inventory Orel woke. The silence was not an absence. It was a clear, cool liquid he floated in, suspended between the quilt and the ceiling. He opened his eyes. The morning light through the window was not just grey; it was the exact color of quiet—a soft, porous silver that let the world in slowly, piece by manageable piece. He moved his hand beneath the covers. The weight of the quilt was not a weight; it was a gentl

    The dome of Silence as discussed in prior chapters, it took a long time for them to get the pieces in place just to send him two words. Will is closely monitored, it's mentioned in this chapter that he has to use a joke app and peer-2-peer encryption to talk to his staff. If Will were to be in known contact with Andrew, a Resistance Leader of a hostile power... Will would be removed immediately and itt would shatter what little control Canada has left. Will formed a plan with Lisa at the end of the book but it was a desperate one, this chapter is showing him that he now has no other choice, this is the strategy he needs to follow. It's always been a 'Hail-Mary' play.

    Please remember: This is a work of fiction, characters and people are used to tell a story. I am aware of current events, and the parallels. But let's not give our Mods a bad day Thanks - Topher Strong coffee day.
  9. CHAPTER NINE: THE BORDERLAND Location: Peace Bridge Port of Entry, Buffalo, New York. Time: Late May 2023. 16:45 EST. Status: Crossing Over. The sun glinted off the steel-truss bridge like a knife on a whetstone. The line of cars stretched back half a kilometer, a sluggish artery of impatient American metal waiting to pump back into its own heartland. Their hired black SUV, with its New York plates and tell-tale Ontario registration stickers peeling at the corners, drew slow, assessin

    Kyle is at that point in his life where Doritos are a food group. At somepoint, Garrett will learn, always bet on the class Nerd.

    Thanks, I am enjoying writing them. There's a few others to this town, Capt vs goofball, Granny's got a plan etc. Merrickville's fun to muck about in. All of these stories have a tie in to each other, even if it's just a shared character here or there.

    Chapter 5

    Edward was murdered by his wife and her lover so that she and he could take control of the throne. Edward's crime was being gay and being exploited by people for it. The poke thing is widely disproved as a church thing against sodomy. bigotry was on a whole different level back then. Far more likely he was straight up murdered to clear the way to the throne for his son.

    Wouldn't be a good story if the heroes didn't have a Villain worth overcoming. Finn could murder him, but in the garage on an industrial street, with a busy Supply and Haulage business next door with cameras all over it? Days away from the Prime Minister coming to town? That would cause far more problems.

    So I am up to Chapter 20 of this little tale, and I am no where close to being done. Control Orel, control the family. Tarquin knows what he's doing.

    Chapter 5

    This story's got a few twists and turns in it. And I am surprised at times, because even our dear villain has his ups and downs. Orel is wierd but awesome. Finn is bitter and uses it. Oliver is loyal. Lydia is, well.... Lids is Lids. Poor Garrett is the best friend to someone he NEVER wants to be friends with. Kyle's ... Captain donut! Tabby and Alvin are about, being themselves and sickeningly in love. Even Kenny and Steve have a bit in it. MVP: Aunt Jenny, who better to hand someone their balls, than our resident Mom.

    Welcome.... and they can if they're fuelled by rage and spite like Tarquin no doubt fuels this one with.

    He still thinks his father built him a fortress, he doesn't know what Oliver and Orel know

    For some all they have to give is a puddle, and for some, a puddle is all they need and treasure it.

    Little Orel, choosing Finn.
  25. Chapter Five: The Predator in the Sanctum The Architecture of Safety Finn The garage at night was a cathedral of purpose. A place where broken things confessed their flaws to the light and were absolved by torque and solder. But tonight, Finn wasn’t fixing a machine. He was building a spell. He’d chosen the corner behind the winter tires and the DeLorean’s stainless-steel bulk with the strategic eye of a guerrilla fighter. It was a blind spot from the bay door,
