    Chapter 7

    @kbois I understand completely. I have a great proof reader / editor and between us we pick up most of my stuff ups . . . but every now and then -- usually after the chapter has been posted -- we still find something! lol
  2. -- Chapter 26 -- Sunday morning arrived with a quiet tension that seemed to fill the old house like a thick fog. As Levi lay awake in bed, he couldn’t hear any sound coming from anywhere – even the wind and the surf seemed to be quiet today – but when he eventually made it out into the kitchen, that was where he found Matt and Luke. Matt stood by the window, looking out into the yard, his arms crossed. Only when he heard a noise behind him did he turn around, revealing tired eyes and a

    "Any and all errors are the sole responsibility of @Mrsgnomie." Poor @Mrsgnomie ... there always has to be a scapegoat, huh? I only noticed one issue ... a switch from first person to third, but hey, I know I've done much worse that that. So glad that things are working out for Miles ... though I suspect that there is still quite a road to travel!
  4. I like it @Summerabbacat . . . let's offer a bounty! Oh, dear, did I say that out loud? Ssshhh!!!
  5. -- Chapter 25 -- The days that followed were some of the hardest Levi had faced since arriving in Thompsonville. At school, the rumours ran hot. Whispers followed him in the corridors and around the playgrounds. Smirks. The occasional outright laugh. Word had spread that Levi had been at the party the night the Commodore was stolen and wrecked. Everybody automatically assumed that it had been him who had taken his father’s car and subsequently wrecked it. It was the other rumours t

    @chris191070 but who's counting, right? lol
  7. @Summerabbacat fair call! 😂😂😂 I didn't dare mention TMG! lol
  8. @Summerabbacat hmmm . . . that might just pass!
  9. @Summerabbacat nah . . . definitely not Matt's scene! lol This is probably more his style...
  10. @Summerabbacat good to see you back on deck! And I totally agree about 'Colours of the Wind' ... definitely a favourite movie theme of mine!
  11. Got an email from him a couple of days ago. I don't think he has been very well (flu). Hope he's OK.
  12. @Ivor Slipper so, maybe Levi just needs to . . .
  13. Great question, @Ivor Slipper

    Yep. That's usually how it works!
  15. -- Chapter 24 -- The drive out to the accident site in Luke’s car, following Constable Leggatt, was largely spent travelling in silence. The morning light was crisp and clear, making everything feel oddly distant to Levi’s own feelings. When they reached the town boundary and the sharp bend on Three Bridges Road just past it, Levi’s breath caught in his throat. The Commodore was still there – but it was no longer just wrecked. Overnight, someone had returned and torched it. The onc
  16. Oh, wow @JimP thank you. And thanks for sharing my little side project. It probably isn't related to this story, but still, I hope folks like it. It may even get a follow up. 😀
  17. Okay... I'll give this much away... my own assumption was that Levi, still buzzing, walked home and didn't recall it. It's really not that far from Beachside Lane in the grand scheme of things. There. I've said it. 🙂 But as for the rest . . . . .

  20. @Summerabbacat all I can say is . . . watch this space!
  21. -- Chapter 23 -- Friday morning arrived with a nervous energy Levi couldn’t shake. It had been a restless night, and with something set to happen tonight, which he still didn’t know the details of, he just knew that it was going to be a restless day as well. At breakfast, Matt and Luke confirmed their plans for the evening. ‘We’ve got that work function in Macquarie Harbour for Luke’s job,’ Matt said, sipping his coffee. ‘We’ll probably be back late. Tim and Guy are heading out som
  22. I'm struggling to remember as well ... but I'll check it out later though! Was it the local baker? Hmmmm ... now I'm struggling ... lol
  23. Ah, she's apples, mate!
  24. @Summerabbacat one can never really tell what might happen or who may appear! 😅
