Read alongside Lucas Stories: Final Goodbyes (January 2019) for best effect. It is essentially a continuation of it.

The boy sat around doing nothing. He was too sad to enjoy activities.
                The boy's mother came and found him. "Let's go for a walk," she suggested. The boy sighed, but put on his shoes and followed.
                I've lost everything. My father, Abby, my home...
                He didn't care what others said. His home was gone, it hadn't moved.
                His mother stopped in front of a candy store. "This looks exciting!" The boy disagreed but said nothing. His mother took him inside, where he saw-
                "Father!" the boy exclaimed, forgetting his sadness and rushing forward to hug his dad. "You're really back!"
                "I told you I would," his father said affectionately. "And it seems you moved to Florida without me!"
                The boy giggled. Then he got to thinking: If my father came back, I can return, too. To home. To Abby.
                "This is the best day of my life," the boy decided. He glanced around him skeptically. "Especially if you're about to buy me some of this candy."

    Aw! This is so cute! It's like an inverse of Final goodbyes. Instead on ending in sorrow, it ended and joy. And candy! (WHOOO!!!!)

    I love how you tricked the reader into thinking the dad was dead or abandoned him, rather than him still being in the military.

Would You Rather...? (#1)

By
These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.
