I hope you’re not too wrecked.

True, for Lee Wilson. But not so for the man behind the name. But if and when I can attach my real name to these entries, I believe that will chase away more than its share of blues.
Phil - Court
"Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Reynolds, I have been informed you are working on a plea agreement?"
"Yes, your honor."
"How close are you to having that agreement?"
"We believe we are quite close and can complete the agreement within one-half hour."
"Excellent. If there are no objections, court will recess for one hour. Bailiff, tell the jury pool that they will be informed within 90 minutes whether they will be required or released from duty."
"Yes, sir."
I’m not sure what I can add beyond the already written reviews, but this book is certainly worth the time it will take to read it.
We have a teen-aged boy who due to a tragic accident loses his memory of everything that came before. If that wasn’t bad enough, he somehow finds himself involved with the alphabet soup that is the US government. Twists and turns abound. There’s even one character you just want to strangle, and another you have to wonder whose side they’re on.
Stir it all together and you’ve got something worthy of professional authors. So, stop reading reviews and read the story!!!
I definitely understand readers desire for sequels, closure of plot points that moved the story along, but could easily be ignored going forward. At least one of my sequels wasn’t even a glimmer of thought until a comment or review triggered ‘yeah, that’s a good idea.’
Like movies, sequels are difficult to hold up against the first part. You have your work cut out for you to make book 2 as good or better. But that’s what promising authors do, isn’t it?
Are Choices Even Real?
Sometimes I find it hard to believe they are.
Are Choices Even Real?
Things that at first seem like choices, don’t remain that way.
Are Choices Even Real?
We decide to do things in our lives that seem to have a purpose.
Are Choices Even Real?
That purpose often dissipates into fantasy.
Are Choices Even Real?
We want to do things to improve our lives.
Are Choices Even Real?
Those improvements don’t always work out the way we envisioned.
My free-verse entry for the 2026 poetry anthology. Lately it seems that what seems like being a choice, really isn’t. Are we really free to decide any aspects of our own lives?
I had the phone keypad idea. I think it was said it was 9 numbers. So maybe it’s a 9 letter word that can be numerical like Anton said above. Now to go find out!!
I think the prat is being used by foggy Josh to take the fall. He’ll be the one standing next to Josh when the bullet intended for Josh misses the target by about three feet.
It’ll be the ultimate prat-fall!
