First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 28 It’s fitting that this last commentary falls on Bastille Day, and it has everything to do with the story Jon tells Furball. That’s a true story, by the way, of the guitar player who sat down to keep Jon company, except substitute me with Jon. This [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 28 Furball didn’t want to admit he was looking for Jon at first, because, well, he didn’t. But the others were happy to let him know that Jon had found his way into the basement. Furball padded down the steps, trying not to alert Jon to himself. [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 27 At this point, we’re just cleaning up loose ends. Jon got to come home (Bet you didn’t see that coming! Or, you know, you did… cause it was obvious), got to say his peace about being a teenager that messes up, and how his authority figures [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 27 – Forward to Part 29 The table cleared as the night wound down, the rest of the group drifting away from the dining room to the kitchen for coffee and pie. Farly stayed, slouched happily across the table from his guest, content and warm, a drowsy [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 26 – Forward to Part 28 …In which Bryan preaches your face off. I almost feel compelled to apologize for how preachy this chapter is. However, it fits with Bryan’s struggle with his parents’ money: it’s not something he’s comfortable about, nor is it something he’s proud [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 26 – Forward to Part 28 The Checker was quiet, the hum of the engine making up most of the conversation in the car. Ty pulled off the highway at the Java exit. Bryan leaned against the window, watching the dark suburbs slide past them, pools of [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 25 – Forward to Part 27 If I had been thinking last week, I would have probably noticed that last week’s post was the end of Bourbon and Farly’s story. There used to be a little bit about Farly worrying about Jon, but it was too conveniently [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 25 – Forward to Part 27 For a long time, Bryan stared at the ceiling. It had to have been close to noon, and that was OK. He still lay in Ty’s bed, Ty still huddled close to him, the blankets pulled tight around her. He couldn’t [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 24 – Forward to Part 26 So we’ve hit the home stretch. It’s weird knowing this serial has been running for over six months now, and now it’s on its last few chapters. What do I do with myself afterwards? Oh, right, make more stories. This commentary [...]

First time reader? Start here. Back to Part 24 – Forward to Part 26 Bourbon snapped out of sleep, sitting up fast, and his mind exploded in eight directions at once. Things weren’t right. The walls weren’t right, they were too close together, and the bed was all wrong, and the space around him felt [...]
