(Continued from the first scene in Rogan’s RP) Walking away from him might have been the hardest thing Lucy ever did. Leaving him like that, after saying what she said – By the time she made it back to their locker room, she could barely breathe. She could barely see through the tears in her eyes as she entered the room and let the door…

Something Missing

July 29th 2022 A boy. Eden Morgan and Gabriel Baal are having a little boy. Lucy honestly wouldn’t believe it if she weren’t there, having seen the ultrasound herself. But it’s true, and Lucy couldn’t be happier for her friends, even if she was having a bit of trouble grappling with the surrealness of it all. Years ago, Lucy couldn’t have fathomed a world in…

And Then.. There was Tempest

July 1st 2022 It was late. Lucy was tired. Rogan had taken over driving earlier in the evening as the two of them began their journey back to Chicago for Synergy in a few days time. The Dark Man’s driving had an ebb and flow to it. It was gentle, and it made it easy for Lucy to relax back into the passenger seat and…

Whatever it Takes

June 17th 2022 “It’s a bit different from the Buick, huh?” Lucy said, glancing over at Rogan from the passenger seat of her vintage Chevrolet Camaro SS. One of the few things Lucy just couldn’t leave behind when she left Western Maryland for the final time. She’d had the car completely redone, and painted the perfect shade of metallic purple. Rogan barely took his eyes…

Creeps gotta Creep

The Blackhawk Valley Campground was small, at least one of the smaller campgrounds that Lucy had ever seen (Not that she’d seen very many in her life, regardless). She’d enjoyed herself though, even if there wasn’t necessarily very much to do within the confines of the campground itself. In the least surprising statement in the history of well, ever, Lucy’s been fully content just living…

Easy as Pie

“What about… ‘Wylde and MacLean do America’?” Lucy said with a flourish, waving her arm as if she was Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune. In reality, there was nothing but a nearly empty shelf behind her as she and Rogan worked to sort through everything the Dark Man (and Lucy, but she’d never admit to it) had accumulated in the time he’d ‘settled down’…

Ain’t No Party Like a Pirate Party

Coming to Chicago early was a bit of a, “kill two birds with one stone” deal. Even though there were no birds and no stones to pummel them with. But what Rogan and Lucy did have was an open afternoon and nothing to do with it. Well, almost nothing. In the recent few weeks, Rogan found himself living with a woman who was obsessed with…

The Visitor

“My, my.. You’re looking chipper this morning.” A young lady mused as she stepped into a darkened room, stepping past its occupant and towards a window on the far side. As she pulls the curtains open, revealing the bright morning light – a much softer, almost breathy voice responds. “It’s a lovely day.” “It does look like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Are…

Temptation

It’s funny. Not really though. Actually it’s quite… Disheartening? Frustrating? Humiliating? Yeah, I think those three cover how it feels to get up to the sounds of someone else’s music, watching them celebrate what should’ve, could’ve, would’ve been mine… had I not failed. Again. It’s a long, painful walk back up the ramp – Trying to focus on the steps before me instead of meeting…

GC.2022.005: “The Showman”

… “Lucy?” “Mmmmmm” … “Lucy?” “Huh?” “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have woken you.” “…No, no… it’s fine. It’s….” … … “Lucy?” “What? Yeah, I’m up. Is everything okay?” “Yes.” “Yes… But?” “No buts.” “Do you want me to move?” “Of course not.” “Then what’s going on? Where’ve you been?” “I didn’t realize you’d be back so early. I went to visit a friend. I needed…
