Rise of the Tellers 10: Waiting for the News
The drive was awesome. It always was. Every time me and Bekah had ever or have ever gotten in the car to drive a long distance, we have had a blast. I drive. All the way no breaks. She talks and gets me snacks and drinks and we laugh and play. I tend to talk…

Rise of the Tellers 8: Thursday Nights
“The weight is coming off,” Siren snapped. She seemed to be panting when she said, “I know what you did to me there. You’re so manipulative and evil.” “What did I do with the weight?” I asked. It’s Thursday night and she is calling me again. In order to keep my government housing, I have…

Rise of the Tellers 7: Chaste
What if I started writing fantasy? The memoirs stalled out. In this book we have discovered that Bekah and I never had a chance.

Rise of the Tellers 3: The Battle of Sloppyface
He was soft. He was a white guy. He was a sun worshipper. He was mentally handicapped. He was big. He was stubborn and he ate his own poop. When I started spending the night at Bekah’s house there was a man in the household who did not appreciate me being there at all. I…

Rise of the Tellers 2: Bell
Disclaimer: I have limited knowledge on warthogs, their breeding habits or their average dimensions. I would not know a good-sized warthog from a petite warthog. I do not claim to be a warthog expert or enthusiast. When I walked away from Siren I walked away from an entire group of friends. In that one move…

Aftermath Guardian’s War 19 / Rise of the Tellers 1: Morning
Bekah pulled up to my apartment, and I was waiting outside in the February night for her. I climbed into her car and closed the door. “You are my life,” I said. “I want nothing but you for the rest of my life.” Bekah stepped on the gas and eased around the parking lot. “I…
