Yeah, but they don’t put “The End” in it! *LOL*

(I was kidding… should have chuckled and somehow didn’t).

But it did stop quite abruptly..! I almost got whiplash from the stop.

Dave – All those things you mentioned are, indeed, still out there. But, Matt told Greg he wasn’t going to “blow the cover off,” and he was the only other person who knew about the video. Whether he was telling the truth, we may never know. Brenda seemed fine when she testified, didn’t she?

Regardless, I closed this story for now because real life was needing more attention.

Ripped off, though? I usually associate that with paying some sort of fee. I think you’ll find that even the most talented storytellers — like, say, Cheeseburger Brown — sometimes leave stories right in the middle when real life comes along.

The End?

What kind of an end is that???

I feel ripped off!

What happened to the video? To Brenda? Did the kid who went back to the newspaper blow the cover off the story???
Wow…

I think it’s oddly appropriate that the two protagonists only came together at the very end of the story. I was expecting them both to have to deal with some sort of situation AFTER they met, resulting in hijinks or maybe even shenanigans of some sort. But no, just a snippet of life that wasn’t really significant to anybody but them, and then, like the Frost quote at the front of your main blog, Mark, it goes on.

Fun story!

Hmm… the plot thickens…!

One of the intriguing things about this story, Mark, is picking out the parts that come directly from your life. Like Coke Zero in the crisper, or a fun run/walk for the cure. I intend not to find out that there’s a secret murder in your past. You know… that sort of thing.

Very interesting getting to see more of Martin’s personality coming out here. He’s not really all there, is he? Or at least was so severely affected by events of his own past that he’s been changed by them.

Carry on!

Just wrapped up chapters 10 and 11 here this morning. Too busy yesterday to get any reading in at all.

A little bit of Martin’s back story helps bring his personality into perspective, and Matt leaving Greg to go work for the paper sort of ramps up that situation, doesn’t it? Coming together now.

And Mark… I’ve seen those Coke Zeros in your crisper!

I really bought into Brenda’s character there, Mark. Nicely done dialogue. Her use of “little Lawrence” helped personalize her right away.

Does it now look like Greg and Martin might each get away with their little shenanigans?? Or will there be a TWIST?!?!
