    Adults have almost always been useless in the Mon Valley world. Of course, WAR was written from the perspective of a teenager and Dustin's World from the perspective of a horribly abused young man, so there might be some bias.

    Poor Dustin. Even in his own little story Billy is still the straw that stirs the drink! Dustin's been looking for someone to finish what Billy started way back when he cut him off after the poker game.

    Just wait and see how he reacts!

    Thank you! He does have a few problems!

    Luke a psycho? You ain't seen nothing yet! As for Dustin, no, he can't allow any relationship to mean anything without pushing away. He lives in fear.

    Thanks! Now we'll see just how low someone can go.

    Dustin awoke in a room that seemed very familiar, yet very different. It was just like his room, but the bed wasn’t his own, and he’d never seen any of the decorations or pictures on the wall before. His head was throbbing, but his wounds had been bandaged up and there was an ointment on the bruising around his eye. He sat up in the bed and groaned. He was dressed in a pair of pajama pants that weren’t his own. The bathroom was in exactly the same place as his own in relation to the bedroom. He

    Thanks! He still has a few tricks up his sleeve.

    Dustin grew up surrounded by chaos. It's no wonder he would find ways to create it in his own life. Is there any hope?

    It was a busy couple of days for our sweet little Dusty!

    Tortured characters are much more fun to write, aren't they?

    But what does Dustin deserve?

    Brett Reilly couldn’t believe he had found himself once again standing outside the local police station of his hometown. He was so frustrated he could almost spit. His brother walked through the doors, escorted by a police officer who removed the handcuffs and released Joey into his brother’s care. “Hey, I appreciate this,” Joey said, offering a smile to his brother. “No you don’t,” Brett snapped. “If you appreciated it, you wouldn’t keep winding up in this situation!”

    I've never been very trendy. However, not only did I kill off Billy's grandmother but also one of the most popular characters in WAR when I killed off his dad, so anything's possible. Somebody's going to die before the end, that's all I know. (The only ones we know are safe are Billy, Brett, and Nate!)

    Thanks! It's a fun experience for me too! Got to keep just enough mystery about our sweet little Dusty!

    You're right. Nate seems to have gotten deeper into Dustin's mind than anyone else. Part of it is simply understanding what Dustin has gone through, but as Nate has said, there does seem to be something deeper and more "spiritual" between them. I think of them as kind of like light and darkness... or maybe like a moth and flame?

    I'd bet a lot of guys would. Scott handled it pretty well though.
  18. jkwsquirrel
    It could be, but there's no guarantee Dustin will make it out of this story alive. He's not mentioned in the WAR "epilogue," after all. It is possible though.
  19. jkwsquirrel
    I don't know if the incident with Scott goes so poorly if not for Nate's probing of Dustin's mind. Surely guys have touched him there before. But something deep within his soul was opened up, and it overwhelmed him.
  20. jkwsquirrel
    Yes they could learn much from each other. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!
  21. jkwsquirrel
    Maybe! But then, Nate's got a boyfriend.

    Dustin grabbed the Sunday paper and scanned the obituaries and the crime pages, hoping against hope that his father had met a bad end, but no luck. He was working a long shift at Janet’s Diner and had made some decent tip money. The church crowd were some of the worst tippers, but he’d made out okay. Sundays were family days at the diner. Sometimes it made him sad to see the happy families enjoying their happy little meals together… Moms and dads who actually gave a fuck about their kids… Someti

    I think he means they pay you for doing your job. 😉
  24. jkwsquirrel
    A frightening possibility!

    They picked right back up with their playful banter, as true friends can do. Was it weird seeing Billy from the outside, getting Dustin's perspective on this guy who was such an important piece of his life? And of course Billy would blame himself for what Dustin did at the end of WAR! It's Billy!
