Thanks BigBen! You know what kind of inspired me? Breath of the Wild. Events happened long ago and things have yet to recover, even years later. No memories, just legends. Hope you'll like the ride!
-
Thanks! Let's see where it leads us!

Just because Dustin missed with the desk doesn't mean... Nah! There was a young man out there with a very incriminating recording of Mr. Hartley though... Whatever happened, it burned the town out on the whole "gay issue" to the point that just bringing up starting a new Alliance is cause for alarm. Haven't quite decided how it will all play out. You've given some good suggestions though!

Thanks! That's a cool connection! This episode certainly makes me wonder how many times Danny might have "made a deposit" in that hot tub, and who added all that chlorine! Glad to have you along for the ride. Let's see where it goes!

I totally thought about having the Rossi family live in Brett's old house! Would have been too weird though! The boys aren't necessarily remembering Billy and Brett's adventures. There was another...

Glad to help out the cause with something fun to read while we wait to be set free! You are correct. Billy's gang graduated in 2005, Aiden in 2007. Now we're in 2015. We'll see how writing without a net goes! I'm used to having several chapters ready. 😅

I haven't decided yet, I just know that after ten years he's long gone, but the damage he did is still being felt. Glad to be back. Gives us something to do instead of being bored and reading news reports!

“And the final score: Central Catholic 45, Mon Valley High 0.” The announcer’s voice echoed over the loudspeaker as Central Catholic’s fans pelted those of us in the Mon Valley High School band with popcorn and empty drink cups. We escaped as quickly as we could to the shelter of the parking lot, where our bus was waiting to carry us back to safety. “We used to be kings of this conference, Jake,” my best friend Danny Rossi said to me after we had fled from Central Catholic’s stad

Jake Finnegan is your typical high school boy trying to do well in school and stay out of trouble. Danny Rossi is Jake's best friend. Jake is gay. Danny is straight. At least, that's what they think. How long will Danny string Jake along as he tries to figure it out? Just a little something to pass the time while we're in lockdown.

Thanks Dodger! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Spikey! You know the true admiration and respect I have for you and your always insightful comments. I always have enjoyed seeing what you've had to say, and you've helped me to become a better writer. It's an honor to be able to do this. I'm grateful for it all! As you said, the true ending is at the park ten years later. I hope this was a fun way of helping bridge the gap between Commencement and Dustin's World. Be well, my friend!

Thanks bud! Since he's the most heartless (ironic...) character in the story, just imagine him home alone somewhere, scheming and planning his next evil plot!

We know your thoughts on "Sweet Little Dusty"TM.

Thank you! It's been a lot of fun, this time in particular. Getting outside of the BBD trio and playing in their sandbox with different folks was fun. I like when readers get invested and are passionate about their favorites. While I think everyone should read Dustin's World, I will warn you that I put him through the crucible and it can be hard to see him hit rock bottom. But rock bottom is a great place to build a firm foundation! If Aiden's War was light and fun, Dustin's World can be very dark and heavy. But for folks on Team Brett, I think DW is Brett's finest moment. "Mature Brett" is the best Brett! I hope you'll give it a read. And it ends happily ever after.

Thank you! I probably had the most fun writing this one. I'm glad you liked it!
-
Thank you! You read the whole thing in like a week! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you! I would imagine Hartley's self-destruction will look much like the other times he's ruined himself. He'll mess with the wrong person, maybe Mr. Taylor won't appreciate his son being taken advantage of, and he'll "resign." Then on to the next town.

Thank you so much! It's been a lot of fun and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It's amazing how in the Pittsburgh area you can walk down the street and pass through several distinct neighborhoods, rich and poor, and never see a distinct border. But you know you're in a different neighborhood, from the style of houses, or the state of the roads, the way people are dressed... It's fascinating. Thanks for being such a good friend and for the comments! I always appreciate and enjoy them, DQ!

Epilogue... Hmmm... How about, Dustin comes back with a desk, Craig's gun, and a bottle of transmission fluid?
-
Always leave them wanting more! Thanks for being such a great supporter of my writing, my friend. I always look forward to your comments.

“Hey… Better go take a shower, Jackson.” Tyler’s voice roused me from what had been a beautiful dream. I opened my eyes and found myself quite safe in my bed, looking into the eyes of my boyfriend and lover. I touched his face. I just loved touching him, feeling his warm being in my hands. He smiled. It was the most beautiful thing about him. He lit up a whole room when he smiled. “I don’t want to wake up,” I said. “It’s summer. I just want to lay here with you all day.” Tyler dre

Even though the upcoming scene with Billy should be interesting, there's a scene coming up with Dustin that might just be one of the most poignant scenes I've written that sets the stage for Dustin's World.

There was so much hope for the Resistance in WAR, but then Billy and Brett got caught up in their own drama and it fizzled out. I always wanted to get back around to it, and I always saw Aiden as the key to it, hence his mention by Billy at the end of WAR. People don't know what they're capable of until they stretch out beyond what's comfortable. No one would have seen Aiden and Tyler as leaders at the beginning of the story. They were a couple of losers. The journey was necessary to reach the destination.

"Maybe..." He's leaving his options open. lol

"I’ve never understood why you straight guys think the way to torment us gay guys is by trying to make us do gay stuff. Kinda defeats the purpose, don’t you think?" - Billy Roberts, WAR 5.6 "Hero of the Day"
