  1. (Somewhere In The Past) The moon hung full and pale over the neighborhood, its light pooling across trimmed lawns and empty driveways. Quiet. The kind of quiet that felt earned, families tucked in, porch lights left burning out of habit, the occasional dog barking somewhere distant before going silent again. A street that had no reason to be anything other than what it appeared. Inside the house, a single lamp pushed back against the dark without much conviction. Its light

  4. That will come into play later on. Thank you for reading. 🙏
  5. I appreciate the comment, @Cane23 I've come to learn and accept that not all my stories are for all my readers. And that's okay. I hope you enjoy the following chapters.
  6. Shane sat on the edge of the couch with his elbows on his knees and his hands hanging loose between them, watching the officers move through the apartment. They didn't hurry. That was the thing that kept snagging at him, how unhurried they were, how they touched things and set them back down like men who had already decided what they were looking at. The radio on one officer's belt released a burst of static. Shane flinched. His head was still wrong. The inside of his skull felt packed

  9. The thing about people like Karen and Schofield is that they THINK they're smart...until they run into someone who actually is.

  13. Thank you for reading it, Craigy!
  14. The instant Bruce uttered the words, the room exploded into pandemonium. The brief silence that ensued was shattered like fragile glass as a barrage of camera flashes and frantic voices bombarded him all at once. Reporters surged forward, pushing and jostling, their voices overlapping in a frenzied attempt to ensure their questions were heard. "Bruce, how long have you known?" one reporter asked. "Why now?" another swooped in. "Are you worried about losing sponsorships?" one holle
  15. Don't tempt me.
  16. I should do a poll about Karen's fate. My readers want blood and I would probably get a lot of good ideas from it!

  20. I'll be wrapping things up next chapter. So, hopefully, things will work out for our boys. 😉
  21. Is that a good thing? 😉
  22. There's definitely a new life waiting for Bruce after this. A wedding, you say? 🤔 Karen's ring tone is...a choice! 😜
  23. Thank you Cane! 😊 Kate is "Mother"!
  24. (25 years earlier) The late afternoon sun hung low over Queen Creek, Arizona, casting long, golden shadows over the vast, open fields. The smell of dry earth and cattle lingered in the air as a group of boys, their faces streaked with dirt and sweat, shouted and laughed, tossing around a weathered football.
