It’s been insane. I’ve done nothing but make online exams for two weeks. My legs hurt from sitting at the computer so long so I’m just going to drop this and go.

Still working with <i>These Haunted Hills</i> and picking up with Josh and Brendan after Bren has related his son’s last day alive.

Josh nodded, not trusting his voice at that moment. “Is there anything I can do for you?” he asked finally.

Brendan shook his head. “You’re already doing it just by sitting here and listening to me. I needed to get that out there, I think. So many of my friends just couldn’t understand. Hell, most of my friends ended up drifting away because they didn’t know what to do or say or you know how it is with married couples. The friends divide themselves up between the partners. Being an author can be isolating too.”
