welcome to the Bettermost "up to date" club, maybe we ought to give it a name: the Nail Biters.

How about the Compulsive Refreshers?
Jack:  I could kick your ass any day of the week.
Ennis:  Then the weeks where you live must have a No Fuckin' Way Day.

*groan*...

Here I am, 400 words into chapter 37, when suddenly, OUT OF NOWHERE, people start appearing at my door demanding that I fix errors in the new system.  IMAGINE THE GALL!

And I ended up having to work all the rest of the day!  One error down, two to go.

Spoiler: RE: Chapter 37

Poor Ennis.    The reality of the last day of Jacks life.   But maybe this is the closure he needs now.

It'll hurt for a while, but at least now he knows the truth .. after months of agony and doubt since Jack's death, now he knows.  Closure at last for Ennis! .. and for Ellery too, because if Ennis is happy, Ellery is happy ..  :) .. and if Ellery and Ennis are happy and Jack is resting in peace, I am a happy camper!  ;)

Yes, the reality of the last day of Jack Twists life. That had to be one of the saddest chapters I,ve read throughout this saga. I know Ennis finally has the answers he,s been desperate for and driving himself mad with grief for, but it,s still so sad. What a sensless killing. Poor Jack. :'(   :'(

I keep Ellery tied to the bed and I spank him until he tells me what happens next.

He is of course, completely naked.
