I was serious when I said we had enough basket cases. I really didn’t need to sit around crying about my heartache, when Ziggy was flipping out from his meds, Chris was getting pulled down by addiction, and the Megaton shit-fits were not over with yet. That afternoon we showed up for soundcheck and Louis […]
What woke me was someone knocking on the door. I lay there for a second trying to remember where I was. I wasn’t used to waking up in an actual bed, you know? It was so bright in the room I was amazed I’d slept. Then again, I’d gotten laid. My entire body felt better […]
What should I have done? Should I have whipped around and slapped him? Stepped away and laughed? Shrugged him off with a growl? He had one hand snaked into my front pocket and the other on my other shoulder and I did none of those things. None of those things even entered my mind. What […]
I got a handle on the problem that is you When it gets slippery is when you slip loose If we’re going to win this game, we’ll do it together Uphill both ways in all kinds of weather When we finally walked out of there we’d pushed off the dinner reservation twice, but in the […]

When I woke later, Courtney was gone and everyone else was already up. I was the only one in the bus as far as I could tell. I found Carynne inside the building, having a discussion with Louis and a guy I didn’t know. All three of them had very serious looks on their faces. […]
The next morning, I woke to the sound of giggling. It took me a moment to remember it wasn’t just some groupie having a laugh. Then I started listening to what they were saying. They were in the back lounge, and with the AC currently running on low, I could hear them well enough. “A […]
Courtney talked for two hours straight about our mother’s latest insanity. Get this. When Digger left? It was because she was cheating on him. With a born-again preacher. The only reason they went through with a formal divorce was so she could legally re-marry. He gave her everything, which I guess amounted to the house, […]
(Welcome to WeSeWriMo, Web Serial Writing Month! DGC will feature 3 posts a week all month!) When we got to the bus I got a better look at Courtney in normal light, in the front lounge. I put the shades down, and the interior lights were up full. My little sister. She had been, what, […]
