It was the Saturday before Easter. Things were going great during my vacation from school. Just not having to go to that hellhole was enough to make me happy. I’d been taking good care of Brett’s animals. On Good Friday, I’d spent the afternoon in Brett’s abandoned house carefully looking at some of his stuff. Nothing major. It wasn’t like I was rifling through his drawers or anything. I was just observing the various things that he left around his room. I just wanted to get a real feel

Won't You Be My Neighbor?
jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Thanks Lisa! I'd like to say that things will get better for Dustin, but... Is he the Broken Boy? Could be! Or is it Billy? Will his temper be his undoing? Lots to think about! Thanks for your wonderful review and your support! -
Won't You Be My Neighbor?
jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in Won't You Be My Neighbor?
This chapter was a turning point of sorts for Dustin. Billy can't save him. Billy's just a kid and when he had the chance to defend Dustin he blew it and Dustin got slapped. Dustin just wants someone to love him and save him from his misery. He tried to get it from Billy, and Billy slammed that door in his face. Where will he turn next? Can he ever trust anyone with his heart, or will he have to sink deeper behind the mask? -

Billy having trouble acknowledging his sexuality is his standard operating procedure! -

We'll see. He's certainly intrigued. -
He's definitely a nasty individual. Can you imagine the abusive language Dustin must hear on a daily basis when there aren't witnesses in the house?

Families are weird, and way too complex. Some people just shouldn't have children.
-
I don't know what you're talking about. Brett, a stoner? No way!

I knew about the wax but never needed it. My feelings were kind of in the middle of yours and Billy's. I knew they'd be good for me in the long run, but I didn't like having them either.

Brett Reilly: Threat to All Humanity. I think he'd like that! -
A Tale of Reckless Youth

Time will tell! -
That's teenagers for you. One minute: "I hate you so much and hope you die! Next minute: "Why are you mad at me? Was it something I said?"
-
Ever meet someone who is so smart they're almost stupid? That's Jen Reilly. Brett doesn't have a mom, he has a roommate.
-
YES!!! I'm so happy someone caught that Brett read the analog clock backwards! Sometimes you put something in the story and wonder if anyone picks up on it. Brett does himself no favors at school with his "Fuck'em all" attitude, but his teachers aren't really all that helpful either. He the kind of kid that is cast aside early on as a hopeless cause, and then the self-fulfilling prophecy follows him through his life. He's built up that attitude because he is very perceptive, and he know his teachers don't think he's going to amount to much, so he doesn't think much of them either.

Dr. Reilly's no angel either! You're right though. I am very proud that all of my characters are flawed. Perfect characters are boring! I try very hard to make sure that if a character has something go wrong in their life, it's most likely because of something they did to themselves!

The plumber's toilet is always the last to be unclogged. Dr. Reilly is one of the best psychiatrists in her field, but she's not even the best psychologist in her own house.
-
Could it be that the boys are fighting about a certain green-eyed monster? Dustin and Brett have a lot in common.
-
You're very right. Kids absorb way more than we think, and blame themselves for the craziest of things.
-
I've appreciated every one of your likes, my friend! I think you may be on to something with that Brett character!

The Christmas Eve Party

Thank you so much, William! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your compliments about my writing style! That means a lot to me. -
Fascinating. We so often don't recognize our impact, both good and bad in our lives. Definitely causes one to pause to wonder about the way our lives intersect. I'm thankful for the intersection of our lives through this story. Thanks for your responses to my story. I've enjoyed them.

The apples don't fall far from the tree.

Indeed. Wise words.

I can't help but think of Dirty Dancing when I read your review. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

Could be!
