  1. Granddad sat back against the sofa, his eyes going from me to Mark, and back again. "That's quite a tale." But then he smiled at Mark. "I thought you looked familiar. Your dad was Tom Houghton?" "Uh huh." Mark looked at me. "Sorry. Mullaney is my aunt's last name." I shrugged, and tried the new name, pronounced like Haw-ton, and found it rolled off my tongue just as pleasantly. "I like it." He grinned at me, but then turned back to granddad. "I'm sorry I lied about everything," he sa

    Hmm. Is my ending going to be anything like yours? I won't say!

    Aw. I didn't mean to do that. But that you did says a lot of nice things about you!

    Yep. I guess if David grew up in a family with some good male role models, he would have come to have a decent sense of fairness. We do learn by example.

    Yep. Most mysteries are really very simple. It's what comes after that is where the fun begins!

    Chapter 9

    I don't think you did. It isn't a terribly complicated plot. It gets some mystery by not having all the facts, like any mystery, but it's really just a story about two guys. It wasn't a story that could be told by hiding all the clues to what was happening. So I figured most people would have some idea of what was going on by the end. You (and DQ) were just a little quicker than some. Maybe you guys should drink less coffee? But it was a lot of fun having you both along for the ride. ♥️

    What happens when any guy comes out of the closet? Some things get better, some things don't. But at least he usually finds someone else that's out of the closet, too! ♥️

    Maybe I have the crystal ball, as that is exactly the answer I expected!
  13. I had no sense of danger about what I was about to do. This was The Boltfort, a place I had grown up with, and loved like my own home. This was Granddad's place, always a safe haven from the bothers of the world. And this was the way that Mark had gone, and surely Mark was no danger to me. Even as I ascended the ladder, I knew that Granddad would be astonished to learn that there was a hidden way into the home he'd lived in for thirty years, one he not only didn't know about, but one he had

    It's nice to know that I rank at least one level about the urge to urinate.

    I'm aware that some people don't go by the rules on posting, and I have not heard of anyone being chastised about it. But I know that if I did it, I'd be struck by lightning or something. So I play nice, and go with my shitty virtues on this one.

    Thank you. You've not only been paying attention, but not peeking at the last pages of the script!

    Yeah. I had a feeling, too, that most readers would guess what was going on, but that that would only make the ending more satisfying.

    Sorry. It will appear at 8:00 tomorrow morning. GA only allows two chapters per day.
