Chapter 31: Last, and First

And so ends John and the Masterplan. I imagined the last part first, they always say. Of course I did. I imagine it a lot, and I should really do something about that.

Well, strictly, there's an epilogue to come to set up the next volume, but here ends this story.

Chapter 30: Trying Too Hard

Well, that's not quite it. Still one short chapter and an epilogue to go.

Chapter 29: Heart, Wolf, Monkey

So, it's Valentine's Day. I'd resolve the main romantic arc today, except it would blow my longest-laid cliffhanger. So you'll have to settle for the other romantic resolution. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

Chapter 28: The Chase

Three days into my (hopefully three week) night manager rotation at work, and I'm already two days behind.

Chapter 27: Shuddering

I still dream about Port Alice all the time. It's always a larger, more prosperous town in my dream than it ever was in real life. That's the point of the dream. I get it. But I can't stop having it.

Chapter 26: Running Down the Road

How did the Eagles end up being a Muzak staple? I ask, but I'm inclined to just go ahead and blame them for it, on the grounds that I really, really hate "Hotel California." "Taking it Easy," on the other hand, I kind of like.

Chapter 25: And One Car That Will Do

I had no idea that "Pink Cadillac" was a Springsteen song. Or what most of its lyrics were, either.
