    You probably only read the first version ... I added a number of chapters a few years ago to 'complete' the story, so I hope you enjoy the remainder of the journey!

    -- Chapter Eleven -- When I had followed Hollywood to his office, we had gone straight there from the car park, so I was still carrying my bag and needed to drop it into my locker, so that was where I headed after leaving his office. The journey back along the school hall was a strange one, mixed with warm greetings, stares, smiles, whispers, and the occasional slap on the back, but not as strange as the sight that welcomed me at my locker, which I soon discovered was plastered

    -- Chapter Ten -- I can’t explain how good it was to sleep in my own bed for the first time in almost a week, to smell the familiar scent of the linen, to cuddle into my soft, old pillow, to be covered by the warm blankets that had comforted me for so long now. Even the sounds of the town at night, drifting up from the valley below us and in through the slightly open window, felt comforting and familiar. It was the first decent night’s sleep that I’d had in ages, since even before the

    @Summerabbacat interesting question. I will often just do a page at the start of my 'master file' where I make notes about things like names or important "things" I need to revisit often . . . but other times I just wing it! LOL What usually happens then is that I forget that I've often used that name elsewhere . . . usually in another story . . . though I do try to avoid that wherever possible. It can certainly be a challenge!

    @Summerabbacat to be perfectly honest, until I re-read the chapter I couldn't even recall what I had called her! 2012 -- when it was originally written -- was a long time ago! lol It's not often that I chose a name for a particular reason, usually it is simply a random choice, but I'm kind of glad she's a Karen . . . and a good Karen at that!

    Thank you. That's not one I was familiar with 🤔

    -- Chapter Nine -- After being checked over by the doctor and then having to answer endless questions from the police officers, I spent the night in a cold hospital ward, mostly alone. It was just for observation purposes they had said to me. My cuts and scratches had been cleaned and checked and I had been poked and prodded and had every nook and cranny of my body checked over, much to my embarrassment. Afterwards I was allowed to shower and was supplied with some emergency hospital i

    -- Chapter Eight -- For the second morning in a row I woke up in the arms of Dallas Pearce. A guy could certainly get used to this, I thought. I awoke to see the valley filled with a dense fog, the mist floating above the waterhole in front of us, the sky a dark grey, fading to a more pallid shade the higher you went, promising sunshine later in the day, I hoped. I lay there for a long while just watching the morning and listening to the sounds; the sound of the water running, which al

    -- Chapter Seven -- When I awoke the second time that morning it took me a few moments to remember where I was and just how I had found myself here. I could see that the fire was still burning weakly but daylight was coming. I could clearly see everything outside our cosy little nook, although the floor of this little valley was still deep in shadow and wouldn’t be likely to receive any direct sunlight for hours yet. As I came fully awake I realised two things. Firstly that an arm

    Progress on all fronts! Great to see. And I'm looking forward to getting to know Kevin! 😉

    @Summerabbacat I shall discuss it with my manager! I'm sure Harry can make you an offer too good to refuse?
  12. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    Or how about just Penny Bottomless? Her depths know no bounds!
  13. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    Yeah, just give me the juicy bits! lol

    @Philippe I've seen an occasional Long Johnson ... but they weren't surfboards! 😉
  15. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    @Lynx003 as I recall from when I was writing this, I wasn't worried about them at all! 😉
  16. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    @Paladin I'm sure they'll get rescued 🙂

    @weinerdog so, I have another story that is partly written, where the main character ends up in the porn industry for a while. I guess I'll have to ask @Summerabbacat for permission to use those names! I hope he doesn't ask for an outrageous royalty fee! lol

    Hmmmm... I had better start taking some notes!
  19. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    Yep. Still Monday. I usually set them up to post just after midnight, so today's was only about 14 hours late. At least I managed to still get it done Monday! 😁 Enjoy!

    -- Chapter Six -- The old mine was apparently called The Good Charlotte, reportedly named after the wife of the first owner. Our ranger friend took great delight in telling us that Charlotte wasn’t good to him after all, with the miner, one Clancy Roberts, going broke while working the mine, losing it in a poker game and then having his wife, Charlotte, run off with his best friend. The second owner did considerably better however, soon striking the rich vein that Clancy had been conv

    Given that it may well be 48 hours plus without power I suspect that the contents of the Tucker Box freezer will be a lost cause 😭😭😭 NOT HAPPY JAN!

    Thank you!

    @Paladin I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we would love to hear those stories! I used enjoy my weekly trips on the old red rattlers when I first moved away for work at 18 and used to travel back and forth each weekend. Met some interesting folks 🙂 MP

    Hey everyone. Just a heads up that the next chapter might be slightly delayed, thanks to the biggest snowfall here since 1984. We have trees and branches down everywhere and haven't had power in about 30 hours, and it's not expected back on until "sometimes" tomorrow, so unfortunately I can't get onto my PC to upload it. I promise I'll get it done at the first available opportunity. Apologies for the inconvenience!!! 😥😥😥

    @Summerabbacat hmmmmm..... I guess you'll have to wait until Monday to find out now..... 😉
