“Civilizations rise and fall creating the beginning of a new Era and marking the end of an antiquated way of life. The battle between Good and Evil comes in many configurations, entities, and ways. The war is never-ending.”

Jason Writer

That was it, and by the expression on his face I knew to a minimum he was surprised. It was not as bad as he’d thought it was going to be. Jason Writer is the name of the main character in the Stories of T.B.O.T.E. and he was going to be the one to say those words. How or where I didn’t know yet.

The quotes worked out. We were able to come up with one for every story and each one is symbolic for the story they represent. We like them. Maybe it’s stupid, I don’t know. I yell out to the nothingness that is the basement.

Son of a dog! What am I doing? I need focus.

I remember when I was younger, my brother and I did all kinds of things. Most of them involved some sort of climbing in trees. We love to climb trees. In Kentucky we had all kinds of trees. Joey and I lived in the trees our Mom says. She’s right. We did.

I have to go. I pull myself from memory and I stand. I take a step to maintain balance as focus returns. Bathroom, I need to go. I walk upstairs and before I get to the top I hear the phone. I walk up into the kitchen and see Michael with the phone in hand. It’s my son Bryan on the phone.

I love my son and it tears me up inside that he doesn’t live with us. We have shared parenting but it’s not enough. He’s not old enough to choose which parent he wants to live with, not that it would be easy for him. I talk to him for a few minutes getting updates on the night before. It was Halloween. He tells me how his mask scared people and that he had a lot of fun.

I bet last night was the last time he goes trick or treating. It wasn’t at our house and that hurts. But that’s why you don’t have sex with someone until your married. I don’t think they do a good job of explaining that to kids in school. Because of sensitivities and society’s fear to repeat past mistakes it allows the minority to dictate to the majority. In school they can’t get personal. Love, hate, trust, honor, rights, privileges, none are aloud to be presented in detail in our schools. Why? Parents do it yourself is all I can say.

I remember. I was going to travel to the past, to when I was a kid in Kentucky. I shut my eyes and accept the blackness. I travel through the void for a second and then vision clears.

It’s Kentucky, I’m ten and my little brother Joey is seven. Our neighborhood had plenty of good trees to climb, but our favorites were the pine trees.
