Try Yorkshire Gold, little bit of milk. You life will be changed

When you exist in a world where you believe that only you are real, that everyone else is an extension of your imagination, not real, NPC's... and you suddenly find another Player Character, even if he is only Level One, your game is elevated. Not saying this is it, but it could be.

Walter is not paying for Dumbass parts.

I mean, that is true, but a bum that big has it's own postcode... Kier would require a pit crew, a lantern lit mining helmet, and a canary... which we all know would be dead in seconds.

The waiting list is... long... Thanks to Doug Ford.

I believe he pointed out he gets lockjaw and has Braces.... and that you enter at your own risk... Kieran ... wisely... chose not to enter.

The Sovereign Nation of Horse that is Jack wouldn't leave anything of Rourke to bury.

It is never really made clear in the text, Walter is Finn's Grandfather. Finn turned up on the doorstep like a stray puppy, after a string of Foster homes and the streets, and Walter just held the door open, and has looked after the boy since. Jenny is Finn's aunt, and sister to his mom... so there's an odd joint custody thing over Finn... I really should write an edit into the text to cover there... cause I am doing it again, explaining outside of the main text, which is a no-no of mine... Right new scene for tomorrow's chapter, I've been doing chapters 23-25 of Carter's Campaign today, so need a break from politics anyway.

Riley would not allow Lee anywhere near him as a top, thank you, no. eww... no.... he knows where Lee's been. Riley's a scruff bag, but even he has standards! lol wow Riley's catty when it comes to Lee

Garrett has ZERO awareness of the car, to him it's a beater. Something he used to be so proud of when in school, now has no clue about as it rotted along with him. Walter knows about the car, he also knows about the boys (dumbasses that they are)

LOL No, no, he um... no. Though Tabby's ancestor is the Telegraph boy.

Kyle is my favourite character of yours, you know that.

Ben's the real deal he is what Kier is pretending to be, a reflection of. But while Ben is fond of Kier I don't know if he is attracted to him, he treats him like a pet. Ben's own particular serial killer vibe aside. I can see it.

Nothing more passionate than hate-sex... mind blowing, world reshaping. And for these two, who desperately need one another to realign their own worlds... it redefines them. Finn is treated like glass by everyone BUT Garrett, who treats him honestly and calls him on his BS. Garrett needs the anger, he's so beaten down in his life that Finn offers him a punching bag (A willing one, who doesn't give a shit if Garrett's mean to him) They're exactly what they need (at this stage) to begin to heal their BS and their lives. Hate can be healthy if it is directed and controlled. These two don't really hate each other, they just know each other's lives inside and out. Like anyone who went to school with someone their entire lives, they've seen it all. From Garrett's crying in first grade, through to Finn's bad presentation in English class in Grade six... so many of these small town kids are basically brothers... and they're fighting like it.

Don't worry, Jack will avenge it.

Of course you wont... so four times?

Chapter Three: Spark Gap The Stall The Chevelle didn’t just die; it performed a public, mechanical suicide. It happened at the intersection of Main and Third, the precise geographical and social epicenter of town, directly in front of Marty’s Diner. The diner where the varnished oak booths held the town’s living history, and tonight, they held the varsity football team—the new crop, the ones with cartilage like new rubber and futures that stretched to a bright, unbroken horizon

Yep, it is. Theodore is an amazing character to write and he flows on the page. Elias can be a bit dense, but loyal. Theo's the brains.

@Jeff Burton You've nailed Kier pretty accurately. This is what he is, and he simply doesn't see it. He's what he was made to be, and Ben is enjoying every second of it. A favourite play piece dressed up to be King, and from Ben's perspective, he's waiting and watching to see what Kier will do with it. He knows all about Lee and Riley, what they do, and what's going on.

Hmm that makes Tabby the oldest of this Generation, I need to canon-ize that... might need to write a Bobby-Peter circa 2001... which would mean I need to set it after Carter's Duty... which means Broken Andrew... oh interesting... <See this is how my brain works, this little town just spawns stories, it's engrossing... Tabby is oldest > Ergo write about Bobby circa 2001 > bobby needs his brother Peter in the story> Peter's going through stuff of his own in 2001 (Losing West and Will to life) > Andrew just lost Will to Toronto > Story of healing and Tbby's origin story >ergo Carter's Echo.... oooooooo title!> Little peak behind the curtain, excuse me while I go write this short story.

I swear one of these days I'll get the family flow chart done... Ok here goes: Peter Harding used to be Peter McCormick, he's Tabby's uncle. Married to West Harding, Kyle's Uncle. Lydia and Steve Hickey are siblings, cousins to Finn Grady. (Lids is 12, Steve is 13) Brian Higgins is... well, Brian Higgins, eldest of the Higgins brood/litter of puppies. Brian is around 14 at this point) Jacob Carter is Foster-brother/Boyfriend of Tommy Hesston, both are Nephews of Peter&West. They are the sons of Will/Andrew Carter. Andrew's Bechelor name was Highmore, before he married Will... so... that connection is there. Finn Grady is not in Merrickville at this time frame, neither is Alvin. (Finn would be 13, Alvin would be a few years older) (Thinks if he missed anyone) Bobby McCormick is Peter Harding's twin brother and the local Ontario Provincial Police Sergeant(local sheriff) Joey Harding runs the skate show with Tony Tyler, business partners, and Kyle's dad. Tabby has two younger brothers, both 12 : Ethan and Aiden. Also Twins. (they've got their own story written and ready for release) :: blows out a sigh:: I've forgotten a tonne of characters, but you get the idea... interconnected little town web. All of them call Grandpa Jon and Grandma Martha Grandparents (more of a courtesy for some) Granny Highmore is about, Andrew's mother (and the judge from the Fall Festival)

i totally misread the question. Thanks Doc!

Close family friends. The Hickey family are the same ones from Capt. vs Goofball... They're all friends, the same age, and closely connected. Brian tends to be the lynch pin for the relationships, he's kind of the town's glue. The town is old, and very interconnected, they're all cousins second or third times removed after a fashion. Like most Canadian small towns.
