Lee, I just want to know if you practiced doing all of the things that Devlin is doing in the story so you could write from experience. If you did, maybe there's a little Devlin in you too. Another wonderful chapter.

Kernels of corn and maybe Bush's baked beans.

I don't know what you're smoking, but can I have some?

I may have given you the "great job", but I had nothing to do with your "deranged mind."

Good job, Lee. Another wonderfully funny chapter from your deviant mind. muhahaha

He's the 2nd cousin once removed of Dennis the Menace!

This story could only come from the deranged mind of @Lee Wilson. Great job and very funny.

I remember when this first happened. Funny as hell!

And my gun is always loaded - just misfires a lot.

I remember when this first happened. Funny as hell!

Not unless your smart TV is connected to a debit card, because you have to pay politicians to shut up. 😝

That would be one hell of an ejaculation! 🤪

Next you'll want to get a guillotine so you can decapitate him first, so he'll fit.

Hey, I'm offended. I'm not a marshmallow. I may be shaped like one, but that doesn't make me a marshmallow.

Not the old cardboard container of all yellow Peeps (chicks only) from when I was a kid.

Hallucinate, the root word in "hallucination" comes from Latin hallucinat- ‘gone astray in thought', derived from the Latin verb alucinari, which means "to wander in the mind," "to dream," or "to be deceived". That comes from Greek alussein ‘ be uneasy or distraught’. The verb "hallucinate" was first recorded in English between 1595 and 1605. The earliest documented use of the verb is from 1604 in the writing of Robert Cawdrey, a Church of England clergyman. The word "hallucination" itself was introduced into English in 1646 by Sir Thomas Browne, a physician and author. It also derives from the Latin hallūcinātiō, meaning "a wandering of the mind". Examples of the word hallucinate and hallunination in a sentence: "He looked up at the ceiling and began to hallucinate." "Various illnesses can often cause patients to hallucinate," the doctor explained. "Sleep deprivation really kicked in, and I started to actually hallucinate!" "People with mental illness might sense themselves going mad and hallucinate about spiders." " "He has been having hallucinations due to the medication." "He couldn't tell if what he was seeing was real or it it was a hallucination."

I thought I was hallucinating, since @Myr posted this just after midnight, rather than around 5:00, like he usually does. 😁 It means I can go sleep early tonight.

This is a great story to read during the Halloween season, especially if you like imaginative and innovative paranormal stories with lots of horror and healthy touch of humor as well. How do you combine horror with humor, you ask? Only the warped and wonderful mind of Lee Wilson could come up with the answer to that question, so read this story, if you dare, because you might experience a replay once you go to bed after reading it. 👻 👻 Muhahaha! 👻 👻

Lee, you truly are a sick bastard. But that tends to help you write truly innovative and imaginative stories. Well Done! Kudos.

Lee, I'll admit that this is the first time I've seen a murder/ suicide turned into a comedy. I'm not sure if that was the room's or your idea, but that was highly unexpected and unusual. But good job!

Incipience comes from Latin incipient- ‘undertaking, beginning’, from the verb incipere, from in- ‘into, towards’ + capere ‘take’. Incipience is a noun that refers to the beginning or first stage of something. It signifies the state of being incipient, meaning just starting to exist or become apparent. In other words, it's the point at which something starts. The earliest known use of the noun "incipience" in English is in the 1860s, specifically in Webster's American Dictionary of English Language from 1864, according to the OED. The word "incipience" is formed within English by derivation, from the adjective "incipient". The earliest known use of "incipient" in English is from 1589 in the writings of Thomas Nashe. Examples of incipience in a sentence: "The incipience of a new era in technology was marked by the invention of the personal computer." "The incipience of a friendship can often be traced back to a shared interest or a memorable encounter." "As spring approaches, the incipience of blooming flowers brings a sense of renewal and beauty to the surroundings." "The incipience of the universe can be traced back to the Big Bang, which set in motion the formation of galaxies and stars." "The incipience of a writer's career is often filled with uncertainty and countless revisions."

I know I mentioned to Johnny that Lonny might be thinking about who he would make Cliff's legal guardians if something happen to him, since he doesn't have any family. It's kind of obvious thE Cliff would prefer it if Michael was named his legal guardian if something happened to his dad, Michael and Devin will be graduating this academic year and then they will be looking for a job, and they'll probably end up in Texas or California. However, I think Lonny would want someone in a more stable position to take care of his son in that event and I believe he might ask Mac's father instead, since they got along so well during their vacation. This all depends on if something were to happen to Lonny, and we have do indication of anything like that happening.

Yes, the rafting was a blast for all. Even though Cliff was still recovering from having lost his mother, I decided that once he had made an attachment to Michael, Cliff would become very direct and uninhibited about what he wanted to know and what he wanted to do. This won't be the only time we'll be seeing him, so we'll find out how he will act in the future. 😁

Thanks for the feedback, Al, and I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. I will be contacting you soon.

Yes, rafting is fun and we'll definitely be seeing Lonny and Clint in the future. They made arrangements with Devin and Mac to attend some football games with them.
