  1. I wondered about this too.
  2. Like Chris, we stumble ahead into the mysteries of the future.
  3. I notice these chapters are titled Days in the Sun. It does imply days with no sun are ahead.
  4. It's curious Victor hasn't noticed the new pendant.

    The Sea, Pt. 1

    He's lucky he didn't get sent back.
  6. Like the recurring dreams, Chris also keeps the new pendant a secret. I'm sure it's part of whatever ritual he's undergoing since he has been open about everything else in his life.
  7. Victor's life has changed dramatically over the years the Accords have been in place. The majority of his education came after he was a hundred years old.
  8. You'd think they'd have comprehensive lists of vampire businesses since they collect taxes.

    The Sea, Pt. 1

    The confrontation with Eudald came more quickly than expected. He was quite surprised no one agreed with his actions.
  10. What power is behind these dreams? Chris is being prepared for something big, but what?

    Revelations 4

    It went better than expected. Now I'm concerned about this rebel group taking Chris to use him as leverage.

    Revelations 3

    We have to be nearing the big reveal where Chris's dad is the local liason for the government. I know he's open minded, but his son's boyfriend being a 260 year old vampire is going to be an awful lot to handle.

    Revelations 2

    Yep, that's where we're heading. I wonder where these Accords stand on intimate relations with humans?

    Revelations 1

    Well, technically undead. From the old Dracula movies, the dead thing never seemed to slow his libido.

    Encounters 3

    Victor's 'dad' was about to address him as something other than son. And the "I will never hurt you" was an odd thing to say. There are some secrets here.

    Encounters 2

    Are soccer balls so dense they'd damage you if they hit you in the face? I can't recall ever touching one.

    Encounters 1

    I finally decided to delve into this one. His dad has several careers going and still finds time to homeschool his son. You rarely see this level of work ethic combined with a dedicated home life. I'm sure these detailed dreams are significant and are preparing our narrator for something.

    George will be comfortably set with another privateer when this peace collapses and a well stocked wine cellar to boot. Caroline is getting a bit too comfy playing the part of Lady Brentwood.

    Vanguard, Pt. 2

    Imagine how stressful a crossing would be, especially for the earliest vanguards. Once the five day mark passed, you'd have no choice but to go forward. How many of those who signed the registry never made land?

    Vanguard, Pt. 2

    It's natural to have second thoughts so close to such a profound change in life and Callum is no exception. His doubts are slowly stilled. There have already been many vanguards and some with humans, so he won't be isolated from his own kind. The test proves Callum can hold his own. I am concerned if he will be able to keep pace with the pactrids.
  21. I think the birthday data regretably must have fell prey to the EU's GDPR. I miss it too.
  22. Stories don't need to be long to be good. Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants is only 1,500 words and Shirley Jackson's The Lottery is 3,000 words.

    Vanguard, Pt. 1

    Clor is charming, but Eudald is likely the most hate filled pactrid Callum has met to this point. What has he endured to make him this way. This journey is already proving to be Interesting.
  24. Yes. Historically, wars and crisises have allowed even the most refined democracies to exert extreme authority over the populace they would never achieve normally.
  25. No shovels? No trees to plant? Or too impatient to wait?
