chapter 10
"...a sweeping wall of rain so potent and thick it could be seen rolling across the twilight of the lake"
"...We played one of my favorite games, which was one Tommy never knew we were playing ."
"...Is that all friendship is? People who find each other tolerably un-boring?"
You are a hell of a writer, Clancy. You have this weird family totally spelled out. I vote for grandpa. I worry for Mrs Goodspeed.
thank you so much sharron. they are quite the characters, the Goodspeeds. you’re about to get into high school now!
Loved the description of the lightning strike; fascinating about the history of ‘o.k.’!
thanks peter!! isn’t it weird? i like how tommy says jude is OK
I love the normal-abnormal mixed here — it’s just like real life. Crazy and “unrealistic” things happen all the time.
The things worth writing about are rarely normal. Thanks for reading Keith!! Your comments make it all worth it.
Damn! This is such good writing. So perfectly edited. Such smooth transitions throughout between description and dialog. I am envious, Clancy.
Sharron I have no doubt that you could concoct something twice this endeavor. I so appreciate your readership.
Oh, thank God they're still going to be at school together! But - what has that lightning strike done???? .....
Oh, you’ll see what the lightning strike has done…
I've got there and now I see. Blimey.
I love your writing; I am so nervous about Mrs goodspeed, but glad Tommy and Jude are not parting yet. And I think you hit on something true…we make friends with those we find interesting.
