I wouldn't have pegged Leah of being capable of understatement, but 'complicated' proves that wrong. I guess Tristan can flush the bad feeling about lying right along with the soup.

Well, you've hooked me with the first chapter. George seems self-righteously certain who the guilty party is in this murder. Seldom a good idea to begin with preconceptions. I already have a feeling Phillip will like Stanley.

Well, there will always likely be these weapons, unless something even worse comes along. Once the genie is out of the bottle...

If it makes you feel any better, only a fraction of those are deployed, around 1,750 for the U.S.. What the Russians have active would only be a guess, but those two make up the bulk of those nukes, which are actually a bit over 14,000. I know that seems like a lot, but during the Cold War the U.S. had around 7.300 deployed in Europe alone.

I'll throw an odd one out there. Sidonglobophobia is a fear of cotton balls.

An end of diluvial phobias?

The concept of creepy, killer clowns has been around longer than many realize. We can blame Italian opera for fostering the idea, but you have to admit a clown costume is generally an excellent disguise for a mayhem bringer.

This chapter gives us more to ponder as they execute the ritual to lay Wenn to rest. Colette wants to stay here. She has taken a toll during this ordeal and they are in a place which seems safe in this community of friendly and gentle beings. It would be bittersweet for Chasen to remain here. We also have the curiosity of Tinn'l meticulously avoiding Chasen. Is it only due to his new form? Finally, we have Chasen's unease and sense of lingering connection to Wenn culminating in his shift back to human form. Why did it happen and is it for good? We seem back where we started.

Thank you, though not for the information. I laughed more than I have in years.

From 2001 to 2010, there were only 280 deaths or injuries from lightning in the US. This translates to a 1 in 1.1 million chance. This assumes you aren't running around with a twenty foot metal pole in a lightning storm. If you're afraid of lightning because of danger, then you should run with terror from any motor vehicle. The chance of dying in a motor vehicle accident are 1 in 114.

Good to see the guys after such a long absence. Damian raised a good point about what they will do about Dylan when they're all shifted.

Not to be confused with a fear of Astro. Ruh Rho.

Colin's remark about trouble in paradise hits the mark a little too closely. Dating a guy who wants to fool everyone he's straight is a lose lose proposition in most cases, but I can see Tristan's viewpoint. He sees himself as having four years invested in his dream guy and isn't going to cut his losses now. The one thing going in his favor is highschool is nearly done for both of them and college opens the doors of freedom from your past life.

I can identify with mercurial.
