  1. Well...what type of "draining" are we talking about? 😅
  2. Hmm...is he? 😜
  3. I don't think he was either...
  4. Give it up for fans of Toni!
  5. He booked the flight at four in the morning, in the dark, sitting on the floor of the very nice apartment with his back against the bed because the bed had become unbearable. It was easier in the dark. That was a thing Devin had learned about himself over five years and never examined: that the large decisions came to him at the hours when there was no one to perform okayness for, when the city had gone quiet enough that the ache behind his breastbone was the loudest thing in the room and h

    Ain't that the truth!

    Valid. Can't help but feel sorry for anyone who tries to outsmart "fate"...
  13. “He gave me a name,” Mister D said. “He gave me a name in the language He used before there were languages. The Morning Star, he called me. The bringer of light. He said it to me, and I, hearing it, knew that I had been made for it.” In Chapter Eight, "Enzo". 😏
  14. The bar was the kind that stayed open because the people in it had nowhere better to be. Devin didn't remember walking in. That was happening to him more, lately, the loss of the small connective passages, the way a person crosses a room or a street or a threshold without filing it, except now the not-filing frightened him, because he had learned, in the last few hours, that there were larger things missing than the walk from a curb to a booth. He had come up off the pavement to the sound o
  15. Dang, I wish I'd thought of this. As always, your comments are, dare I say, even better than my own words?
  16. I appreciate you giving the story your time @sandeman enjoy the ride!

It was going hard, slamming against the inside of his chest with a violence that had no cause, a runner's heartbeat in a body that had been lying still. The second thing was the sweat. He was soaked in it, the sheet beneath him damp and twisted into a rope across his thighs, the cotton clinging to the small of his back. The third thing was the trembling, a fine continuous shudder that lived in
  19. Far enough as to downright lie...? 😬😅
  20. I considered doing it at first, but it's really just the second "phase" of a larger, yet cohesive tale. So I'll release it as chapter 11, yes.
  21. Well, technically a part of him was stored away, at the end of the last chapter. So, here's to hoping...
  22. I may know a thing or two about a thing or two.
  23. They left the lake without speaking. The morning had moved fully into itself by then. They had stood on the bank a final moment, fully or partially dressed, looking at the water. The lake had gone back to being only a lake. The architecture of what had happened had, in the small private way of all such architectures, withdrawn into the bodies that had performed it, leaving the location to its own ordinary indifference. Devin had taken Luka’s hand. The motion was unannou
  24. I know that speech by heart. ❤️
