Reminder: The current DGC fundraising goal is for $250 by May 15th, when the current plot arc will end. If you’ve never put into the tip jar, or haven’t in a while, now’s the time! The more money is in the kitty, the more hours I can devote to writing new material. Remember with each donation this month, you can vote for which secondary character you’d like to see a bonus story from, as well. Remo, Bart, Ziggy, Chris, Carynne, Jonathan, or even Digger?

Meltdown. All I remembered was that I’d given him an ultimatum. Stop the bullshit or I’m pulling the plug.

I thought about the little truce we’d had, keeping out of each other’s way, like that was supposed to restore my confidence and get me playing better. I had been playing better, acting better… what was going to happen now?
