Everyone asks why, but the listening never happens. So, I go to that place. The only place that no one goes and it's quiet

As quiet as it gets anyway

The endless debates between mutually #closed minds on subjects neither can understand

Time goes slowly but carries on, a singer once sang.

Then time stops. Everyone tries to breathe when the inconceivable happens & blood runs cold.

Max and the now sockless Fairweather slouched on the couch, half laughing at the emotionless Fred and his ‘we’re even’ expression. The rest of the party were trying to decide the best way to salvage the flaming disaster that was once Edwards beloved grill. The exhausted decision was to order the pizza from the usual place with the usual toppings. 
The ice seemed to be finally breaking when Peterson whistled, and called out. “Hey guys, who the hell did this?” On the empty draft board,  the first slot had been filled. A knife Max had not seen in two months, pinned a selection to the wall. He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up and a chill ran down his spine. He remembered locking the backdoor.

Another weekend of spontaneous & strange celebrations. Back to school, end of summer, pool closing, or standard family frolicking.

Improv fireworks, family bands, & a drunk dinosaur trying to pee on a hydrant not able to find a zipper or sympathy

We have an image of our parents. We know how we got here and maybe that ended with our youngest sibling.

Maybe it didn't.

“I was still bummed about the fight thing and then I found out you and mom were in my room. It’s like, next level…icky”
“Yeah, our bad, she likes the ottoman and there’s no place else in the house to put it.” 
Sylvie wondered if she could just go to the airport and stay there. Now Mom and Dad? She thought it had been just her and Blair. Does she have to save that for her kids, or can she throw it out of the window and burn it?
Finishing the beer, she knew that nothing was as it seems and everything around her was a distraction. Like makeup over Magic Marker, you might have to look real hard but it’s still there. 
Just one more day and four more beers to go.

For what felt like ages, there was a pattern. 430am: Wake up, be spasmodic, go out, want in, go out, want in, eat, go out, want in. Go to #sleep.

I thought i knew, I stated that, now he doesn't do that. Staring at me, knowing there are no rules

On an old stump, sipping coffee beside the swollen creek. The musty scent of fresh tilled earth. Dusty jeans, mud covered boots, & summer tanned arms never fade to winter white.
Shades of #brown waiting for spring green beneath blue sky

The codger looked left and right before leaning in to whisper
"Follow the old road to the brook bridge. Walk up the dirt road till you see a split oak, go up the trail to the clearing. Go alone, bring cash, the best 'shine in the south."

Wallace had too much to think about, too much had happened while he was away.

Now he was caught with too much on his mind and too little on his backside.

Relieved, washed, and awake, Wallace could hear Sister Collette’s voice calling from the foot of the stairs. 

“Wallace, I have made something for you to eat when you are ready.”
As he Exited  the bathroom, Wallace began to respond, “I’ll be right…”

“Wallace Kewitt, be mindful of whose house you are in.

In his exhausted state Wallace forgot he slept commando that night, and quickly retreated to his room.

Fully dressed and apologetic Wallace found a giggling Sister Mary Ellen and stern faced Sister Collette in the kitchen with their coffee.

Floovian behavior is considered an esoteric science discussed in backrooms & hallways.

Fred knows there are no rules unless he says so.

Fred expressed concern about Marissa’s erratic behaviour, trying every conceivable tactic to get her to calm down. He first rolled around on the freshly ironed black slacks so that the appropriate amount of non-removable hair had been applied before crawling into the bathroom sink, forcing her to brush her teeth in the kitchen, and making sure to be underfoot no matter where she tried to stand. Fred thought it was for her own good; evidently, she did not really understand cats. Those slacks didn’t work with that top anyway.

Imagine the freedom. Fly where the wind takes you Being kin to the clouds, one with the air around you

All the while chained to the earth that feeds you. #Birds fly no higher than to find the next meal following the food where it leads

Looking is never as good as finding especially when you weren't looking for anything in the first place.

Bernie made a mental note to put the basement stairs on the priority list, as they creaked their way down. 
“I was standing here, and when you called the first time, I think I had my hand here.” 
In the silence, they heard Shannon growl. 
“Bingo!” Bernie said he walked to where the kitchen drain came through the floor, but it didn’t.
“This is very nicely done.” 
“What is nicely done?” 
“Please push the switch box again.” 
As Leanne pushed the switch box, Bernie pulled on a suspicious nail in the wall and opened a section of the wall. 
“Well, I guess no one thought to check this out.”

The tower, the devil, the 10 of swords, and death.

She knew what they meant, she whispered softly placing her hands by her side.

"This week looks good, you'll be fine. That will be $20 and I hope to see you next week.

Edit mode for most of the day. Combining all the corrections into one document while making sure the timeline aligns with part 4 where we learn what makes dennis tick.

Dennis left home with high hopes & a bad leg.

Now he had little hope, a bad leg, and a busted hand.

Today, a little hope was all he needed.

“I’m just trying to get back to New Brunswick.” 

“The good Lord and my wife wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t help out a man in need. I can get you as far as Florenceville and after that you are on your own.”

Dennis breathed a sigh of relief thinking Irish luck was with him again.

“Thank you very much. I am going to Fredericton and I can call someone to come and pick me up there.”
“And I will tell you right now that if you try anything I will mess up your left side worse than your right and leave you in a ditch. I don’t care what the good Lord or my wife thinks of that.”

Reports had said the rain should have ended two days ago. Unfortunately, moist air from the south collided with a cold air mass from the north

Gravel from the driveway is now blocking the ditch helping everything flow into the cellar
