    Interesting story, plus I learned a new word: grotty.

    Chapter 1

    I experimented with this story by using AI. I first wrote it, then fed it into CHAT GPT and asked it to make the language and dialog current. As I'm not 18 anymore, I'm not completely up to speed on slang, etc. AI did a pretty good job of bringing it up to a more contemporary level, but beyond that, I found that it was not all that useful. My regular readers will probably notice it, while no one else probably will. Not sure if I'd do that again, but it was kind of fun.

    Sometimes you are a pain in the ass. Maybe the BDE is real.

    December 3, 2004 LAX Los Angeles, CA Will The Falcon touched down gently onto the runway, then braked furiously as it slowed to a taxi speed. “You seem nervous,” I said. “I am not nervous,” Travis lied. “Just so you know, this time I arranged our transportation out here,” I said, teasing him. “So there will be no abductions on this trip.” “Good to know,” he said, but gave me a slight smile to acknowledge my

    We don't know what happened to Ranger. He sort of drifted out of the story. Matheus's whereabouts are uncertain at this point. We can assume that he was at sea. We'll hear from him later. There are inevitably loose ends that I ultimately have to close. Thanks for the prompt.

    Thanks to all of you for the kind thoughts. I feel honored to be lumped in with the three other authors who did such a good job.

    Bite me. I'm just kidding. 😀

    Thanks! That scene was tough for me to write, but I felt it was important to show just how disconnected Tim was from the people in his life. Your story was my favorite.

    That’s what HELOCS (home equity lines of credit) are for.

    They do. 😃 I actually had this one cued up to publish today by mistake. I tried to fix it last night but that is damn near impossible.

    November 30, 2004 Tribeca New York, NY Jeremy I held my phone in my hand, watching the clock as it got closer and closer to 5:00pm. When that milestone was reached, it rang, and I smiled when I saw that it was Kris. “Good evening,” I said cheerfully as I answered his call, my vain attempt to pretend that everything was perfect between us. “Good evening to you too,” Kris said pleasantly, which kind of surprised me. I’d f

    I applaud your sleuthiness. And your ability to stay on topic.

    That’s some good detective work!👐

    I never write a story with less than 5000 words. I tell myself I’m just loquacious, but there’s probably a different term for it. 😃

    A couple of thoughts: 1. As much as Brad and Will love each other, they find dealing with each other to be challenge. Sheer frustration probably makes Brad act that way. 2. Maybe Brad did handle Will to get the results he wanted.

    November 30, 2004 Harvard University Cambridge, MA Will I was so deep into my study zone that I didn’t hear my phone the first time it rang. I grabbed it after the second ring and saw that it was my father. “Hey,” I said as I answered, trying to sound like I hadn’t just been on an entirely different planet. “Hi,” he said coldly. “Jake and I are flying out to meet with you and Travis. We’ll be in Boston tonight.” Ther

    I’m allowing myself a lot of poetic license on the house, but I choose roughly the same location as Bridgewater House. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgewater_House,_Westminster Since we’re at peace, probably not a lot of cannonades, but I’ll try to make it interesting anyway. Really? What does it say on the tomb?
