CHAPTER 21
Work was a bit of a shock after the weekend. We had a couple of domestics that turned nasty, and that really brought a few things home to me. We had a remarkably strong family, all things considered, and clearly Tony’s much smaller one was just as strong. Enid in particular was someone I decided never to get on the wrong side of, which raised another thought: I was making so many assumptions about her son and my sister, particularly about the permanence of their new arrangement.

At the bell for the third period I headed outside and over to the sports block. Given that I really don't like having to use the changing rooms, and that I have threatened to boycott the lesson, I was apprehensive as to how the next hour would unfold.

Just a brief coda to a story I wrote a while back. I am unsure about continuing this tale as I have an impatient Dragon and rider to deal with and they are both getting rather short tempered!

Chapter Five ~ DEMOgod

What power in the universe can Monty discover
to respond to DEMOgod during the Dark Confrontations LARP?

Part (16) It’s a big dangerous world out there

Interlude: Rich Bromely, the young man from a small Pennsylvania town was abruptly introduced to the world, a man’s world, in 1966 when he lost his student classification that deferred him from the draft just as the Vietnamese War was heating up. Rich graduated from Johnstown High School, attended a small community college for two years and met a girl named Brandi. Rich and Brandi met through a mutual friend and attended separate schools, she in upstate New York. They only saw each other occasionally but they both felt the other was the one they wanted to be with for the rest of their lives. They became engaged shortly before Rich enlisted for four years in a special program, a program that would likely keep him out of Viet Nam.

(Miri finally takes some action about her 11 year old son but not before she thinks things through.)

Chapter 9

FROM THE EDITOR: There is a mystery here. Some of you have guessed... sort of... what it might be. While some things might seem cruel, all may not be as it seems.

We rejoin our teens as they are about to enter the mall. Stick with this story. Regardless of how things might seem, I promise a happy ending.

Now, I am old.
The strange friendless boy whom no one liked or really knew, is now even stranger.
I sit here, alone, in my dark lonely shabby room and look at the dingy walls,

June 14, 2019: It's amazing how things have changed so much in the past 3 years, and it all started with one man's obsession.

Chapter 37

*Before…
We leave heading for class and I sneak a look back and Elizabeth just threw her Starbucks coffee in a huge splash all over the hallway wall and she’d be coming for us or at us if it wasn’t for two teacher’s bee lining it to see what’s going on.
Yeah my mask’s still on pretty tight and I might still be Stephen but I’m really Stephanie…and Stephanie's tired of getting stepped on already.
Has anyone ever came out and not taken huge amounts of bullshit?
Maybe, Maybe I’m going to find out.

*And Now…
