    Dustin's World

    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!

    The Chair

    jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in The Chair

    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!

    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?"

    Brett's Mom

    jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in Brett's Mom

    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.

    Wrestling

    jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in Wrestling

    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.

    Life Is Unfair

    jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in Life Is Unfair

    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.

    The Third Wheel

    jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in The Third Wheel

    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!

    Move Along

    jkwsquirrel commented on jkwsquirrel's story chapter in Move Along

    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.

    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!

    I'm glad you decided to check it out though!
  21. jkwsquirrel
    They were! Billy could have avoided a lot of pain if Brett had answered! Ah, the days before caller id!
  22. jkwsquirrel
    We'll find out soon!

    Thanks DQ! I see you did a lot of reading and reviewing! Thanks a lot! It's always great when young people can share time with the elderly. Both sides benefit!

    “Get your fucking ass out of that bed.” It took me a few moments to orient myself to what was going on. I had finally gotten myself into a pretty good sleep. But now, I was being shaken and a harsh voice was telling me to wake up. The first thought I had was that there was a fire! My house was burning down and a fireman was trying to save me! I quickly tossed the covers off me and sat up. “What the hell?” the man’s voice said. “You’re not Dustin!” “Dad, it’s five in the m
