Oh everything and anything Thanks for reading

This boy might tie-into one of my other stories, if you know what they are... you'll understand what happened. Not the home invasion part, but the other part as to way he came home looking injured

Day 48 Well, I legitimately faked being sick today. My job at Organico is getting in the way, and I’m pretty sure the boss is not very pleased. Either way, I can't take tomorrow off, but I've been drafted to work on Saturday afternoon. However, it should be okay since the heist will be in the morning. I'm just back from scoping out that mansion with Matias. Well, maybe the word mansion is a strong word. I'm not going to lie; the house looks pretty big from the outside. There is a lar

@weinerdog& @chris191070 - "Excellent," I say... Doing my best Mr. Burns impression from The Simpsons. I can't make any exceptions, but for the time being... Matias is safe.

Kids might get off easier if they are caught. Its free labour too. Plus, a sneaking feeling tells me that Salvatore has some faith in Matias. After all he's been working the kid for a while, and he's proved some of his worth. Hudson is 11-years old. At least he is to my notes.

You never know, sometimes clumsiness happens to work, but I guess it'll just be luck with what ever happens.

Let's hope nothing goes horribly wrong, we might be able to deal with 'just going wrong.' I already have the ending plotted out, and well... it mostly ends happy. Maybe by the end, Matias will see that he's been foolish... if he's not dead. Thanks for reading

Day 47 - Thursday When I woke up this morning, I felt terrible. Three was this bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Those harsh words I shouted at Matias yesterday came back to linger. Plus, it must have been the lack of sleep. The night was spent with countless hours of tossing and turning, which didn't create a great impression in work. People noticed me moping around. Perhaps I was miserable, and that's why I chose to head over to Matias's after my shift. Amy let me tag along with her w

Eventually, but first the storm must be ridden out, some people might need die, and some sad moments need to be written before it all works out... more or less.

@weinerdog& @chris191070, Salvatore is an predatory, if he can gain an advantage over his rivals and those who work for him, he'll do it. The only person he cuts a bit of slack is Pauli -aka Tiny. He has been testing the boys, first vandalism, then running and now theft, as this is usually how the criminal underworld works. You have to prove your loyalty, but the boys' naivety is clouding their judgement. Sometimes the difficult choices in life have no right or wrong approach; its just about the best you can do, and stay alive and sane. I like to believe that Matias understands the gravity of the situation, but he is also naive about how the criminal underworld works. There is usually only two options out of this life, death or forever running. I guess we'll have to how it pans out. Thanks for reading

Day 46 Work was… short. Actually, I can't remember the time left. I have no recollection of the commute to work, sitting in the lunchroom, and eating or clocking out. All that's in my head is the recent meeting with Salvatore. I'll get to that in a bit. This morning, I figured I'd head over to Salvatore's to pay off my owed money. I'd spent the last few days selling those drugs that he gave me. It mostly went without a hitch, but yesterday was excruciatingly slow. Nobody came ar

I wanted to create something slightly different, including elements of a love story, and also crime. When readers feel a variety of emotions while reading, it's a huge compliment for me. Humans have such a wide array of emotions, and many folks are only accustomed to the few obvious. I promise, the desperation you feel will be somewhat rewarded with the conclusion of the story. Joy might be in the foreseeable future, or in the least, relief. Thanks for reading

@chris191070, @weinerdog - Its nice to see the boys bonding, and growing as individuals. Kyle is an idealistic, yet reality is usually not. He'll have to come to terms eventually whether he wants to keep Matias in his life, as his situation is not exactly ideal. The boys will have a lot more to contend with in the coming chapters. The fun and games are going to be more subtle as they'll need to find a way out. Some rough choices are ahead for them, and perhaps some death-defying moments. Thanks for reading again. I hope you are enjoying the progression.

Day 44 Work seemed to pass by at an extremely leisurely pace today. By lunch, I wanted to get off work and go home. Pretending I wasn't feeling great; that's what I told them to let me off the hook. Anything to just get me out of there. Unreluctantly my bitch of a boss allowed me to clock off without a fuss. Of course, I wasn't feeling sick. I'd been thinking about the fucking drugs all day. I thought about getting rid of them as quick as possible. I had a neat idea as I made my way

@weinerdog, @chris191070, @pvtguy - The feelings you have are correct. The calmness is only temporally, and the storm in is brewing not he horizon. Lets hope as we progress toward the action and finish that the boy come out the other-side alive. Thanks for reading

Oh thanks lol And yes, Alexandre and William. I had to think for a second, I have so many bloody characters. Its been a while, and that was my novice attempt at writing. I hope I've improved since that challenge.

I find quite a few authors forget about the environment. I've always made it a point to try and make my worlds lifelike. I've noticed that about your stories, there seems to be a lot of thought put into where the characters inhabit. Thats one thing I remember from you Z-is for Zombie. The world detail drew me in, but I stayed for the characters.

Day 43 Matias arrived later than expected. When he came, he looked like he hadn't slept all that good. Not that I slept any better, providing the circumstances. Matias went on an earlier run, and so he asked if he could add another bag of heroin to my stockpile. I agreed as long as he took it with him when he left. That didn't happen, but we did make a start on selling my drugs. Well, the drugs Salvatore gave to Kyle, so Kyle could give to me. The trick was never to take all of it wi

We all do weird s**t the first time we are infatuated by someone breathtaking. Geron has expanded on an interesting idea, making it endearing and sweet. You won't be disappointed. Give it a read.

Reading along, I had a sneaking feeling; somehow, the plot seemed familiar. Getting to the end, I realized I also wrote a short story for this challenge on IOMOFATS called Love In Paris. I missed this short back then, but I'm glad I stumbled upon it now. It was sweat to see how it all played. Awesome job The story was a nice surpise.

Just read it; you'll be happy you did. It's Norway during the Nazi occupation in the 1940s. Two boys are in love, which is always a plus. It's part drama and thriller. The characters are believable, and the world is well crafted. If you like stories with interesting characters and a historical background, this is it.

Geron, I liked this tale, and I appreciate the world you built and your characters in this story. It was nice to read something with more dept than the average high school story. I could practically feel the bitter winds and snow you depicted here. Great characters are one thing, but I love it when an author immerses you in the realm they wish to show you. Thanks for the enjoyable read; I might wrap myself up in a blanket in the middle of summer after reading that one.

Those are some heavy options. When brainstorming the possible routes, I came up with eight solid endings. Decisions are all it boils down to now. Oh, and writing it, of course. Whatever conclusion I pick, getting there won't be pretty. Thanks for commenting and reading

Well, I try to create stories that could be real. Hopefully, when I get into the editing phase after my initial write, I'll be able to make the novel even better. Thanks for the comment

Well, I just completed day 48 and I can say... he's gotten himself in deeper than selling drugs. Trouble is coming... I can feel it. Thanks for reading
