I’m still drowning in work. I am officially working entirely on overtime this semester (at this university we’re contracted to work 24 credit hours in a year (two semesters) and I did 25 last semester alone so the 15 this semester is all over time so I’ve worked nearly 2 years worth in 1. Yikes

Continuing with These Haunted Hills. Brendan is preparing for Josh to come over for dinner and looking around in the woods.

With a lot of time left, Brendan went back to his writing. It would keep him from thinking about the desire to kiss Josh. This didn’t feel like the right time. It was too close to the night of heart rending feelings of guilt. He wanted to know more about Josh but that might be greedy of him. He already knew a lot but something seemed to be missing.

Josh arrived about a half hour later with Brendan still debating more with himself than he was writing.

Posting this on the fly as I’m planning a trip to Columbus for today to do fun things but since that’s a haul I need to get moving.

Continuing with These Haunted Hills. Last week ended with Brendan getting an unexpected call from Josh.

“I think one of my cameras got knocked loose by something out at the cabin. I was going to head over your way to check on it. I wanted to see if you wanted me to bring anything out there and to let you know I’d be tromping around out in the woods.”

“Okay sounds great

I’ve now worked 7 days a week for 5 weeks. Technically I have more work to be doing but I’m escaping today. So I’m posting this and running.

Continuing with These Haunted Hills picking up from last week.

Brendan sighed and took a drink. He forced thoughts of Josh out of his mind and turned back to his novel’s beginning. It wasn’t going to write itself but at this point, he wished it would so he could go back to his lusty daydreams, test the boundaries of his guilty feelings.

The phone rang dragging him away from his writing. He hesitated realizing it was Josh. He didn’t think Josh could possibly know how torn up he’d been after the lights went out last night but maybe at breakfast he sensed something weird. If he didn’t respond it might seem even stranger. “Hey, Josh. What’s up?”

I’ve been buried in work and owe everyone comments. Sorry.

Here’s more of These Haunted Hills I’ve skipped ahead to the next day after the ghost hunt.

Brendan knew Josh most likely wouldn’t make the first move. Their relationship was too uneven. Josh knew Brendan was still suffering and wouldn’t want to force him into a position he wasn’t ready for. Ignoring that, Josh was too obviously a fan boy and was trying to behave himself so not to be that obnoxious fan.

No, if Brendan wanted to kiss Josh – and god help him, he did – he’d have to make the first move. He peered at the clock in the corner of his laptop. Nearly one in the morning. It was far too late to make Josh drive out to the cabin even though he had no doubts Josh would come.

Still running around like a headless chicken but now with blood clots in my arm (they’re resolving and are superficial so they wouldn’t be a huge problem anyhow but they hurt) from where I fell on it.

Not finding much time to write. Sigh.

Here’s more of These Haunted Hills Brendan is learning about his aura. It’s a bit more than 6 sentences but I wanted to get past this part.

“It’s black,” Kasumi replied, startling him. Brendan might not know much about auras but that couldn’t be good. “Fading to grey.”

Brendan contemplated that for a moment. A dark place didn’t begin to cover it. Still recovery which had seemed so impossible just a few weeks before this seemed far more likely with Josh and this strange group of people he’d hooked up with. “I like the idea of recovery. It’s been a long process for me.”
