I am so glad to see this great tale appearing here!  Clint is not your normal main character.  His Dad is not a normal Dad, and I bet his sister is not a normal sister.  We shall see.

I couldn't agree more. It had me laughing as I could actually see it happening.

I just finished chapter 2, and I also am finding the story to be very well-written.  If this is any indication of what Cynus can do (and I'm sure it is), he'll definitely have a future as a professional writer.

Thank you, Andichan. This is the first time I've ever tried to write comedy.

@Mark, I appreciate the kudos. Hope I'm able to live up to them.

@Timmy, Thank you for pointing out the button and letting it be there in the first place. A little bit of support really does go a long way.

The plot is developing. As you have seen, it is also part one of a duology. Cynus will send part two to me soon. There are interesting differences between the two, as I am sure you will see.

I really liked this story, it's a little different to a lot of the stuff out there and i mean that in a good way, i only intended to read the first chapter and then go to sleep and read the rest the next day, but i found myself reading them all in one go, which goes to show that i did enjoy the story being told, i am waiting for a few more chapters of the next part to appear and look forward to the continuation from another characters PoV

One thing I can't figure out about the character of Clint; he seems mature and level-headed, yet he wants to be a drama queen. I find that these 2 personality traits rarely go together.
