  1. @drsawzall and didn't we see you on skates in Olivia Newton-John's Xanadu music video? I was almost certain it was you with a blue shirt on . . .
  2. -- Chapter 31 -- It was late in the evening when they reached the hospital, and Matt’s parents were already in the waiting area, both looking tired and drawn. The moment they saw Luke and Levi, the relief on their faces was obvious and they both got to their feet and hugged the boys. ‘Oh, thank God you’re here,’ Matt’s mother exclaimed, which was immediately followed by her nose scrunching up, and her holding Levi at arm’s length and saying, ‘You both stink! You need showers!’ ‘Tha

    @Howzat I had earlier thought of Miles becoming Troy's muse ... and I like the idea of this being Troy's end of semester project. Maybe @kbois will have him recreate the artwork on canvas as he works through the angst and anguish caused by Miles leaving?

    @weinerdog if you woke up and saw that, you'd know you weren't in Kansas anymore, Toto!

    @kbois of course! I expect more questions than answers, along with some twists and turns . . . but I do know we'll be getting closer to the real meat of the story!

    @Salerion I suspect that we'll be getting a chapter from the perspective of Miles soon enough. Or at least I hope so!

    @kbois well, sounds like it's a long way away ... otherwise the story would probably only be called "The Short Road Home"

  11. Not Beyond Salvation ... but from the original After We Danced, from when Matt and Luke first visited Cockatoo Creek.

    @kbois drooool! I think my arteries are already complaining ... but heck ... if ya gonna go out, ya may as well go out in a blaze of glory!
  14. Hmmm @Summerabbacat I didn't know if I should 🤣 or 😢 or ♥️ on this one! Bellingen is a lovely little place ... but can be a bit hot and sticky and damp at times ... and not always in a good way! lol The Nymboida River is between Armidale and Grafton (closer to the Grafton end ... near where the Yowie was sighted the other week! lol) 😁
  15. @MastaMak already fixed! But thank you for letting me know! We can't get it right ALL the time!
  16. -- Chapter 30 -- They left in two vehicles just after breakfast, with only short stops for groceries, fuel and ice before leaving town. Matt’s black Nissan Navara led the way, with Luke in the passenger seat, and Levi in the back, accompanied by a backpack full of clothes he wasn’t sure he would need, and sleeping bags for the three of them. Behind them trailed the older Toyota Landcruiser wagon belonging to Phil and Hoss, with DJ and Dwayne riding along with them. The convoy wound its way o

    @kbois excellent work, as always! I look forward to hearing about Troy becoming a successful western artist ... Tim Cox better be careful (ya'll better look him up if you like cowboys and shit! lol)
  20. @Summerabbacat hmmm ... now there's a thought! Maybe "Skinny Dippin'" might fit the bill!
  21. @drsawzall had to throw the Yowie in there, as while I was writing the chapter there was a Yowie sighting not far from here, on a road down to the coast that I know well. LOL
  22. @Ivor Slipper hold that thought! lol
  23. Isn't there seven though? 🤔
  24. -- Chapter 29 -- It was just a few days later when Matt finally saw his chance to pass that message on to Casey. He had seen Casey around a few times since he had last spoken with Constable Leggatt, but the moment never seemed to be that perfect time he had been looking for. Today was different though. Just after four o’clock, Casey and his two favourite goons had exited the nearby café, and were ambling up the street sharing a bag of chips, just as Matt was carrying a heavy carton cont
  25. Thank you @Philippe for your very thoughtful comments. There's a good deal to unpack from those! On Zack and Levi . . . purely platonic I feel. Zack has his own demons to deal with. On Brooke . . . yes, shallow, needy, and probably a lot of other things. I have fears about what her plans might be, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens . . . Thank you for your comments!
