Sometimes the mice sing...bad songs.

It's time for some free fiction, and for checking in on Verity and Dominic as they continue their trip from New York to Oregon, with plenty of stops along the way. They've weathered their time at the Carmichael Hotel with no fatalities. So where to next?

Why, back to Buckley Township, Michigan.

No tour of the history of the American Price family would be complete without a stop in Buckley. That's where Enid and Alexander settled down; where Jonathan brought home the Fabulous Fran, Star of New Mexico; where Alice Healy met Thomas Price. That's where it began.

It isn't where it ended.

You can download the new story now from the InCryptid short fiction page. Please download and save to read locally, rather than trying to read on my poor server.

This also serves as your discussion post.

This was wonderful! Thank you!! I'm glad the Healy house is still there, from hints dropped I had visions of it being a blackened ruin, strewn with salt or something. (Is it the same couch, btw?)

Though I am blaming you entirely for the fact that I spent all night coming up with rhymes for scrotum, depending on how you were singing, and what sort of emphasis you put on the words.

P.S. I honestly don't know if this is appropriate, and if it is not, I shall grovel and beg your forgiveness. But does this mean there is a chance that some day you will tell the tale of what happened in Buckley when the Covenant came to visit?

P.P.S. I've been imagining the mice singing the Man-bits Madrigal in squillo to the tune of Carnival Glass.
