  1. Thanks! You're on to something there! Let's see where this all goes!
  2. Thanks! That's the fun of the story, the growth.
  3. Not going to lie, this is a dark story. After everything Dustin went through in WAR, there are deeper scars than the ones on his wrists. And just like he tried to cover up the physical scars, he tried to cover up the mental ones as well. He can't keep all that trauma buried forever. Dustin's World is kind of a study of PTSD.
  4. Thanks! Leaving Billy's head and going 3rd person is a little bit scary.
  5. Thanks! I had to finish what I started.
  6. Yeah, no mention of Dustin in that last paragraph of WAR. Anything could happen in Dustin's World. Only three characters are guaranteed to make it through to the end; B&B and Nate. No one else is safe.
  7. Thanks! I get the feeling we haven't heard the last of Nate.
  8. The Monongahela – The very definition of a workhorse river. Propped up and bloated by years of technological advances in order to give the coal industry a thread to connect the rich coal country of West Virginia to the steel industry of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is said that George Washington once crossed the river on horseback. But in the hundreds of years since that day, a collection of locks and dams allowed the river to become navigable, thirty feet deep in some places. But in
  9. One last journey to the outskirts of nowhere. Dustin Smith isn't looking for love. He feels trapped in the black hole that is life in the Valley. Will he find light in the darkness, or will the darkness consume him?
  10. Very true! Thanks!

  16. Thanks again! I appreciate it!
  17. Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the first chapter. I might have had some similar experiences to Billy's athletic adventures myself!

    Better late than never. Glad you've enjoyed it!
  20. Yeah, Dustin is a tragic character for sure. Billy's note of Dustin's lengthening hair at the end of the story signifies Dustin reverting back to his old ways, his future uncertain, having severed his ties to Billy. It's not easy to get over what happened to him.
  21. Thanks Karl! I appreciate the kindness! Glad you enjoyed the story!
  22. Thanks bro! You were with me pretty much from the beginning. I pushed the envelope a bit and put the boys through hell, but I always promised a happy ending, especially when things looked bleak. Thanks for your patience! It's been a long road, but worth the journey I hope!
  23. I totally pictured Woken Matt Hardy when I read this! WONDERFUL!!!! 😄
  24. You still have questions, and that's a good thing! "Always leave them wanting more" as the saying goes. I wanted to give you just a little glimpse into the future without too many details. You know the boys will be happy and still together, the rest is up to you. It is the right time to bring it to a close, at least on my end. I'm very happy with how the story turned out. I'm grateful for the friendships that have developed around this journey.
  25. Thanks! It's the right time. I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
