I spent another week in Boston, during which Carynne made me go to the dentist, and I got all my new furniture arranged. My room seemed bigger when it had actual shelves and a sleek chest of drawers instead of all the piled milk crates. Having an actual bed meant there was room under it […]
Okay, here’s a question for the guys in the audience who have sisters, especially little sisters. Pop quiz. What’s the right thing do when you accidentally walk in on her crying? To be more specific, when you’ve climbed an outcropping of rock near the beach because you’re kind of feeling like you want to get […]
We ordered lunch delivered. It wasn’t worth causing a scene to go downstairs and eat in the 24-hour coffee shop. I still believed that Bart and I could’ve without attracting too much attention, but we were forbidden when Toph came back upstairs with the latest headcount on the crowd outside. I felt a little bad […]
(Great news! Donations for Colin have topped $75, so he will definitely have a bonus story! Meanwhile a generous donor who wants to know more about Jonathan ensured that he will have a story of his own, too. One more week left for the “popular vote” poll and it probably surprises no one that Ziggy […]
(Quick update! Donations trigger another bonus post today! Meanwhile in the bonus story poll, Colin is only $28 short of guaranteeing a story from his point of view! Not only that, but that same $28 more would trigger a Saturday post next week, too! So if you’ve been thinking about putting in a dollar or […]

At one point I broke a string, right at the end of a song, at the end of “Wonderland” actually, and it took a little longer to swap to the backup guitar than usual, because I’d picked up some of the stuffed bears and cats and whatever that people were throwing at me and tucked […]
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, […]
