  1. The more important question is are you rooting for LA?
  2. 13 Years After The Accident What was worse than getting evicted while going through withdrawal, 19-year-old Andy Morris wondered to himself as he stood in the middle of his sad excuse for a studio apartment while his landlord droned on about how she’d given him enough time, how he owned her three months in back rent, and how he needed to get the hell out immediately. As much as Andy wanted to get the hell out, he had nowhere else to go. This was the only home he ever had, and he didn’t
  3. Well both Kat and Jack have told David to seek help in previous chapters. But you’re right, more could have been done earlier.
  4. You can’t really help someone who’s not ready to receive help, in my experience.
  5. Hope is a pretty word, but a brutal feeling. Sometimes you would prefer the other, the nothing. But the soul is foolish, and when there is nothing else, in hope it continues to survive. Jack knew that hope, in David’s situation, was completely useless. But David’s brain and heart had stopped communicating a long time ago. One was simply wired to survive—the other one had taken on an unthinkable quest. Together, they struggled to compromise. But because the brain is smart, it knows that
  6. It would be! 😁 You're absolutely right.
  7. The harshest indeed...
  8. Thank you for sticking with the story, I appreciate it.
  9. Celia had a rather peculiar way of spending September 4th every year. After diligently checking on her friend Elisabeth with a well-meaning and concerned phone call, and always making sure to inquire about David and offering to bring over some homemade lasagna, which would inevitably be turned down every single time, she would make herself a cup of English Breakfast tea with a spot of milk and one teaspoon of sugar, and she’d settle into the large grey comfy lounge chair downstairs. She wou

    That means a lot to me, thanks so much! Next chapter will be up soon I promise.
  11. Kat didn’t know why she was still in touch with David Andrews after 6 years. There was no point in keeping in touch, as she never had any news for him. The case had gone cold, and she doubted they would ever find the responsible party at this point. Their weekly phone calls consisted of Kat trying to talk David out of whatever crazy new idea he had in regard to the case. The poor man was wasting all his money, and what was even worse was the fact that his energy and motivation to find the guilty
  12. 6 Years After the Accident It was September 4th, but Elisabeth was trying her best to ignore that fact. It was the 6th anniversary of their fatal car crash, but this year she decided September 4th would be treated just like any other day and given no special significance. She was tired of the same song and dance every single year, she just wanted her life to go back to normal. But first, she had to get her husband on the same page, which wasn’t going to be easy. David was as stub
  13. Thank you! 😄
  14. “Breathtaking.” For a moment Celia thought the brown-haired boy was talking about her and she felt her cheeks heat up. “Isn’t it?” he added, looking away from her and back to the photograph of the statue. They were inside of the school library studying religious sculptures as part of their philosophy course, and she just happened to be looking at a picture of Michaelangelo’s “Pietà.” It wasn’t particularly breathtaking to her, especially not compared to the boy who—with his square
  15. When Kat responded to a noise complaint from the Andrews’ neighbors, she was expecting that the culprit was David, and she wasn’t wrong. He answered the door in a white bathrobe and in sunglasses. She could see the chaos behind him, smashed glass, paintings ripped off the walls, furniture in shambles. “Where’s your wife?” she asked, wanting to make sure Elisabeth was alright. “She left, went to sleep in a hotel.” “Is she okay? Are you okay?” He moved the sunglasses from his eyes t
  16. It was clear to Elizabeth that her and David were processing their grief in very different ways, but that realization didn’t make matters any easier. They were like two ships passing each other at night. David’s business partner Tom had been more than understanding of their situation, but without David at the office, things were deteriorating pretty fast. So Elizabeth decided to step in, make herself useful. Yes, they were going through something horrific, but they still needed money. They
  17. Jack was not a good sleeper. With each year passing by, he progressively got less and less sleep. It just seemed like time was slipping by, and he couldn’t afford to waste time. Not at his age. After all, as the famous rapper once said, sleep was the cousin of death. And Jack wasn’t ready for that, he still had scores to settle and cases to solve. In order to stop himself from going to the liquor store and getting sloshed on vodka, he decided to do a bit of his own personal surveillance. He
  18. Kat Bryce was stuck, and she knew it. Barely any evidence, no witnesses besides the two victims, no security footage, and no car. The car was their only hope, but it seemed to have just vanished into thin air. No repair shop had seen it. The grey Honda disappeared without a trace, and with it any hope of finding the perpetrator. Kat wanted to remain hopeful, but her partner’s face made that a difficult task. Jack sat at his desk with a hardened gaze, and a pair of set lips and burrowed eyeb
  19. Haha I appreciate the hints 😁 And ahh you make some very good points! Agreed, half-baked plans. Somebody’s in a hurry 😬
  20. I agree, these dreams better start giving us more clues 🕵🏻‍♂️
  21. There wasn’t much variety left in officer Jack Miller’s life, and he was more than fine with that. There was his work as a police officer, which took up most of his time and energy. There was his nearing retirement looming on the horizon, and although for some cops that would mean taking their foot off the gas and coasting on through to the end, Jack seemed to be picking up more and more work. His colleagues noticed that it was as if he wanted to submerge himself in his work and get all his loos
  22. Very true, it’s not in his nature. And great point about Vincent, who most certainly will not take too kindly to someone killing off one of the few relatives he’s got left 😬
  23. Thank you! Yes, more info on Dahlia and rebirth is on the way 🙌🏼
  24. Ahh, yes...did Dani miss a history lesson or two, because he seems to be a little at a loss as to what's coming his way 😬
