I hope JJ and Shaun are able to find their way through the good and the bad they are going to experience. Especially early on. And have a friend or two supporting them. Maybe Shaun's Dad?
What a clever punch-line! But you were not joking, as we seem to be getting ever closer to an apocalypse of some sort.
Hope is so deeply embedded in human DNA that we will forever keep pressing on, no matter what. Because that's what humans do.

It was refreshing to have a normal chapter with normal things happening to all the normal people in JJ's world.
But there is a limit to how normal things should be ...
Zeke
JJ should be uneasy about how strong Appalzon's commitment is to him until it is conclusively resolved. There's probably a side story or two buried in that somewhere.

Wayne:
I'm glad you are enjoying the short story format, your fans certainly are!
Someday I hope to experience some of the magic of Camp Refuge, even if only part of it is real.
You masterfully, and bravely wrote a story we don't hear often: a married couple faces an apparent fundamental change in who one of them is. As others have said, I hope we hear from them again some time down the road.
Zeke
Sharing just a summary of the Apllazon meeting was a good move, it kept the story moving. This chapter was a good update on some of the rest of the gang, I hope that not too many of them fade away.
People who have faced the deepest wrongs and undeserved pain can become the very strongest because of that. Fortunately, people can also become strong from very positive experiences. It seems the world of Vincent and the gang has a few of both, making the story captivating as heck.
The perfect way to tackle the issue that's been hanging over him since JJ killed his Dad: How will he ever come clean?
I wouldn't be surprised if you stretch the Big Reveal over several chapters!
Zeke
Yet another fun read. The story and characters each have their own lives, and you are skillfully capturing it all for your readers. Looking forward to the next installment ...

As usual, I am late to the party. I can't add to anything to everyone's comments, except this:
A Very Big Thank you for these two stories. Shorter, stand-alone-ish stories are good. So are longer ones. Go where your heart leads you. We'll be there to praise your name

Tim:
I love your Tim Horton's mug. And I enjoy visiting the few in the midwest when I can. Let's hear it for TimBits!

I'm about a year late to this party, so ...
It did take a chapter or three for me to get my head around the story, but it turned out quite nicely! Thanks to both of you, Wayne and Tim, for writing it
