Chapter 80: The Preliminaries: Round 4: Presently Lost “June?” I called out as I stepped out of the bathroom, looking around the small room. The TV, the three bunk beds, the desktop computer, the trash can, and the four dressers were the only things in our room. Strange, I thought to myself...

Chapter 79: The Preliminaries: Round 3: Baking The Camel's Back June smiled at me. I stared back at June solemnly. “We're okay, right?” she asked, looking kindly, deeply, into my eyes. I nodded. “Everything's cool, June. Really. I've told you this all morning. Now get out of here and let me get...

Chapter 78: Open Wounds “Gary, why are we here?” June asked, following behind me as I led her through the crowd of spectators, all sitting, awaiting the battle about to take place. “Who's battling?” I didn't answer June. I just scooted past the eager people and finally found a large spot in the...
