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.

Damn, that thing looks as if it's the size of a grown dog, not a puppy. 😲 😵

You know, Johnny, that's an interesting observation. Since Lonny doesn't have any other relatives, he might not have thought about making arrangements for Clint, if something should happen to him, so he may just ask Michael and Devin, or maybe Michael's mom and dad until the boys graduate from college and get jobs. Who knows where the evil skinwalker has disappeared to, but we might see it again. 😲

Thank you for the feedback Chris. Yes, Mac's mom is finding out that there's time that it's been good that the boys have these abilities, like when make stopped her from falling of the ladder at the Puebloan site on the Ute reservation, and now that Devin preventer her from falling out of the raft. Yes, since Michael kept him from getting hurt a couple of times, Clint is looking at Michael as a cross between a guardian angel and a superhero, and Lonny is trying to help Clint heal after his mother's death, while also attempting to keep him from having to grow up to soon. I hope he succeeds.

Yes, Lee, the boys are all getting along very well and Clint is very precocious. And aren't all boys body curious at one time or another? It's nice the Lonny is also getting along so well with Mac's dad and doesn't mind Clint hanging around with the boys. Yes, I'm sure that Luther and Marcus would have joined them if they didn't have something else scheduled. The act of transitioning is always tricky when the boys are in a public setting, especially if they can find a way to do it without exposing their ability. The evil skinwalker (E.S. Ugly as you call it) may show up again, but it shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't force the boys to respond to something it's doing. If that happens, I'm not sure how the boys might react, but if the skinwalker doesn't force them into reacting, the boys should be able to explain it away. If it's in its human form, they can just say it's an old ugly Navajo shaman, and if it's in its animal form, the could say it's just a very large wolf or bear, whichever form the skinwalker is using. It would be trickier if they had to transition, because chances are there would be more people around than just Lonny and Clint. Yes, I'm sure Clint would have an extreme reaction if the boys had to transition, but as someone else suggested, I'm not sure if that would confirm Clint's view of Michael as a superhero, because I believe it could also make Lonny and Clint look at the boys as some sort of monster. Anyway, thank you for the feedback.
