We sent everybody a yellow and changed into our costumes.
Haley left in her grandfather’s car. Cassie left on her father’s motorcycle. I left after both of them because changing into the Rocket suit takes time.
I flew out of the tunnel that opens over the lake, flipped over in the air, and aimed in the [...]
We didn’t break into the house, though we did think about it.
“No,” Daniel said. “We don’t have any justification for it. Sean’s mom and little sister are home anyway, and they don’t know anything.”
We left and went home.

I ended up going through the whole story with Lee after practice. It wasn’t an official [...]
I’m spending a weekend camping with my family before school starts. As such, I’m not doing a whole lot of writing, so I’m posting another excerpt from another novel I’m working on.
My apologies. I’ll see you back on Wednesday.
On the bright side, I probably won’t be taking any more vacations for a while, so writing [...]
By the time we got there, there were four of us. Vaughn met us in the air. Jaclyn met us at the house.
The house didn’t stick out normally. A white, two story house in a subdivision full of modern, two story homes of almost exactly the same design (basically a rectangle), it didn’t have much [...]
Outside of shock, I didn’t have much of a reaction.
When I hung up, I turned to Daniel, who had undoubtedly been listening to both sides of the conversation, and asked, “So now what?”
“We go to the hospital. This is going to be big.”
Just passing this along… The E-Fiction Book Club is a good way to discover online fiction you might have otherwise missed. They read/are reading the Legion of Nothing this week.
There’s a review up. Take a look at it.
The next day we stepped out of school and into a media circus.
Sometime between last night and that afternoon, the reporter’s story had been taken up by the Associated Press and a video of Keith’s transformation had gone viral. Reporters stood at the bottom of the steps. Vans with satellite uplinks parked alongside the sidewalk. [...]
Owing to a family gathering, I wasn’t able to write much during the latter half of this week. What I’m posting here is the beginning of a novel I’ve been working on for a few years — since college actually.
It’s set in my hometown of Holland, Michigan (which happens to be the place where L. [...]
I couldn’t think of a person I’d least like to hear say those words, but it didn’t really matter what I thought.
Sean, still limping a little, but off the crutches he’d been using since our fight, pushed through the crowd. The fact that Dayton, Sean’s much larger friend, walked with him undoubtedly helped with the [...]
“Well… Where are you meeting?”
Keith said, “Nowhere much. The school parking lot. It’ll be quick.”
He grinned at me. “I’ve a majorly cool demonstration of what I found out.”
I wanted to ask him about it, but he must have read that off my face.
He started walking down the hall toward at the stairs. “Come on, let’s [...]
