I've been exceedingly time-short these past couple of months, so it was a stretch to get this one done early enough to post before the holiday. As it is, I had to break it into ten chapters, and it won't complete until Sunday morning at 8:00 AM. The two-chapter per day rule, you know.
Hope you enjoy it!
Kippy Lawson frowned his best intimidating frown. "You're kidding me, right?"
The four of them were standing in Charlie's bedroom, within the elongated rectangle of the late October sun as it poured in through the front window onto the hardwood floor. Leaves drifted down outside in the breeze, taking their final plunges from the old oak at the corner of the house. It was a cool day, definitely jacket weather, and not a bad one to be indoors.
Ricky Travers looked momentarily taken aback b
Charlie Boone, his boyfriend Kip, and their friends, Rick and Adrian, are heading for a laid back Halloween this year, housesitting for Ricky's cousin. Only the house is not quite what they expected, and neither are its occupants...
Well, I'm flattered.
But it's still a question of free time. I may get back to the Doors stuff sooner than later, actually, as quite a lot of the third story is already written. It just needs to be completed.
Someday I'll be retired and simply write for several hours each day. There will probably be an explosion of some sort. ☺️
You don't want much, do you? Right now, I am in a rush to complete the Halloween Charlie Boone tale, and have very little free time for anything else! 🙂
I have a bunch of stories I'd like to write follow-ups to, but time is lacking just now. All I can ask is that you be patient!
Fun story, Ivor. But I expect that from you!
I remember playing strip poker as a kid. I don't think we got to pick what the loser of the hand had to remove. It was usually the least revealing thing, leading up to the most revealing thing, of course.
Cards were never so fun!
No doubting your meaning here. I plan to stand and fight as well, if need be.
I am reminded of other calls in other times, all of which sought to warn and awaken, to gird and fortify, and to bring together those of similar spirit.
Well done.
I used to read Highlights in my doctor's waiting room as a kid. I remember Goofus and Gallant well.
I always wondered what might happen if they ever got together!
Sad happening, with maybe not so sad results. Lysander doesn't know or understand yet. I guess we'll eventually learn how his father died?
Nice to see a new chapter. We'll be here for more, whenever it comes.
This is one of my favorite of Ivor's stories, and it's wonderful to see it shared here, and to learn more about what into its creation. Great interview.
