Something tells me there are going to be a lot of big changes coming to Elko. Principal Dumbass is going to lose his job, possibly the police chief will be on the carpet as well, for releasing Carl Turner without any charges, and Jordan Turner may also losing influence in Elko due to his and his son's bad decisions. We can only hope.

effervescent - Word of the Day - Wed Jan 22, 2025
Bill W commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Things that are bubbly or carbonated are effervescent — and both words come from a Latin root, effervescere, "to boil up or boil over," combining ex, "out," and fervescere, "begin to boil." The earliest known use of the word "effervescent" was in the late 1600s. The earliest evidence of the word in print is from 1684 in Guide to Practical Physician by T. Bonet. -
I knew Mitch and Pete would make a cute couple, I hope they haven't just been added to the Endangered Species List. I get a kick out of Uncle George as well. I'm counting on him getting his lawyer to file a protective order or conspiracy charges against Carl and his goons, or even better, both.

I loved the last part of this chapter with Mitch and Pete. They sound like they'll make a cute couple.
-
I don't think you have to worry about Carl. After the coach heard his bigoted rants, knows that he start the problem, and he's already told Pete he made the team, I think Carl's going to find out tomorrow that he's NOT on the team. It may lead to him wanting to ambush Pete later, but since the Seniors stepped in to stop Carl and many teammates told the coach that Carl had start the ruckus, I think Pete will have plenty of backup, it the others are around when it happens.

Yes, the reveal was like hitting Mac's parents between the eyes with a sledge hammer. I think you've got Mac's dad partially figured out - I think he'll require a beer and dessert. Mac's mom, however, might either be due to her love for her only remaining child and the desire to have grandchildren, or the fear of being attacked by some monster if she raises a stink or reveals their secret. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Yes, how the boys disclosed being a skinwalker was kind of like Oscar the Grouch popping out the garbage can when you least expect it. And I don't think you have to worry about Mac's mom keeping their secret - I think she'd be worried about what they might transition into when they confront her about it. 🤪
-
Thanks for that information about the guide training, VB. And I'm glad I was able to surprise you a little and approve of what the boys did. Now, we just have to wait and see the parental responses - hopefully all will go well.
-
Al, I enjoyed this chapter as well. I've always found that little guys often walk around with chips on their shoulders and ready to fight just to prove themselves. Many feel that if they show they aren't afraid, even if they get the shit kicked out of them, they'll still get their licks in and make some have second thoughts before they try anything. I'm glad Peter has a better home life now and some support. I'm just hoping the team members will come around if they see Peter as valuable teammate.
-
Thanks, Danilo, and now the boys have got some "'splainin" to do. I think we all hope it goes well for them.

Then was hereditary kind to you, Al? 😵
-
Al, it sounds as if you're mother not only treated you poorly, but she apparently wasn't much better with her husbands. Once they got married, or shortly thereafter, she must have shown her true colors.
-
All of us enquiring minds want to know what happens, Mancunian. I know I sure do!
-
Don't feel bad, Tony, because you're early as far as I'm concerned. I just get so wrapped up in writing my own stories that I haven't been reading much, a problem I'm trying to correct. And since @Al Norris is one of my loyal readers, I saw this story, read the blurb, and couldn't pass it up. I am now hooked.
-
drs, it you think you're late, I must have not only missed the boat, but fell off the turnip truck as well. 🤪 😵
-
I thought the same as you. What is Peter's mother going to do now that he's gone? I suppose she'll dump even more responsibility on her oldest daughter, who will probably end up rebelling as well. I imagine Mom will enlist the next oldest daughter to help out as well, unless the next oldest son is older that the second oldest daughter. Oh, and if you never heard the word "tetched" before, you either didn't grow up in the country or hang around your grandparents. They always pointed out the people they felt were "tetched in the head!"

I guess your magic shield of invisibility had a short circuit. 🤪

As far as I know, I haven't met any of them personally, but I have chatted with a number of them. And anyone who claims they have a halo, it's probably held up by a pair of horns. 😇

Yes, that's very true that the moms will have each other for support from time to time, and somehow I don't believe Mac's mom will try to control what Devin and Mac do any longer, now that she knows the boys can turn into monsters if they get pissed off.
-
You first form the image of what you want to look like in your mind, and I don't think Mac's dad would picture his Bigfoot with a pot belly. 😜
-
I think his dad would lose weight just going through the training.
-
Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Mac was questioning how he was eventually going to be able to tell his parents about this, especially since if he and Devin have children, the boys will have the same abilities, and it would only compound the deception. Hopefully, this will bring them all closer together.
-
As long as Mac's parents are able to handle this revelation, I have a feeling Devin's parents will be able to deal with Mac's parents knowing about the family's secret, since they are already close friends.

Man, I've got a bunch of pervs for readers.
