Episode Six

The drive-thru gave them enough sustenance to keep them going for another chapter. They each had two tacos, except Jose, who had ten tacos. The car was pretty messy when they were finished eating the tacos, but Missy knew it was okay. The next time they stopped a piano would most likely fall on the car, and they would need a ( Read more... )

Okay, I know it has been a while.  I was not in a happy mood after the events of the summer, but I am back...

Chapter square root of 25

It took Mary most of the next hour to get over the realization that she was, in fact, a suspect.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Getting Jaded

Two days later, the news was still covering the mountain. Chess King sat in his chair, watching the reporters standing within the allowed distance, and shooting film of his former mountain retreat. When a blonde reporter appeared, he increased the volume for her coverage and caused her to fill four of ( Read more... )

Chapter Twenty-Two: It’s a little bit funny

Chess King found Scott speaking with the guards in the monitor room. He ducked to enter the room, and looked around.
