785 Are You Afraid Of The Dark?
In the first draft of this story this was, more or less, the last page. The inclusion of Jo changed that. I like each of these parts to have a feeling of closure. Like, a capstone that says “This is the end of this part”. I’m not sure what my success rate is, but whatever. I try at any rate. The new ending has a fun scene with Carol and Thomas. I’m not really sure why I keep writing these things so they take place over the course of a day, more or less, but it seems to work alright. I think I should release each one as a book for itself rather than just arbitrary pages. The shorter stories will be less expensive. Anyway, something to think about.

That’s far worse than what I thought the story was gonna be.
I just figured that the car belonged to Mrs. Nesbit herself, and that she left it to Thomas in her will. Like, it was her ghost haunting it for some reason.
john now is your chance
Le sandwich?
ayup
OMG I know that expression on John’s face; when the little girl the guy never notices is suddenly all over him. Not that she hasn’t been all over him before.
Judging by the lack of rot in the seat he had that bit replaced. Great atmosphere for creepy stories ^^
Epic Yes…
Thats a good way to end out this section i like it but I’m not sure Brooksie does
NO BROOKSIE YOUR HAT! Now he can EAT YOUR BRAIN!!!!! XD
yea…I’m that guy. :P
For a second, I thought you were going to go with the “soldier dies overseas, leaves car”bit, like that country song I really like but can’t recall the name of.
Oh, I remember that song. It struck me as creepy, and not the ghostly kind.
This story actually has its genesis in an old tale from my family.
The song you guys are thinking of is “Riding With Private Malone”.
Right.
So bad the new books idea you expressed here didn’t happened :'(
Mechanic family, and a car that honks on it’s own. Next thing you know Thomas is related to the Witwickies in some way :D
