Three Kings and an Epiphany (Chapter 5)

[subsidingchaos]

A short linking chapter before we get to the end and to let you know I have not forgotten about this story. EVERYBODY finishes their Christmas story in May, right? Marys, this one is for you.

oh yeah, and Sam says 'fuck' in this. a lot.Sam spent the first ten minutes after she left pacing his living room, working hard to not put his fist right

I wish I'd been listening to a slow ballad that ended triumphantly... this was such a movie moment chapter.
AAAAAAAND the whole "pansy ass" thing. I bet you very much money you nailed that about his dad. Totally how I see it going. And calling him Sammy-boy. MAN OH MAN. Man alive. Just, man. I'M WAITING FOR MORE ALREADY. So, get on that. Soonish. Who needs their high school teachers anyway? Just tell them to read a book and tap away at your computer... They'll turn out fiiiiine. I think..

Anyway, bed time. THANK YOOOOOOOOOU.

I PROMISE, I PROMISE YOU I WILL!!!! (i will. i will. i will.)

enough of this shit, he's going to get his girl!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, shoot, his deep shuttering breaths! That man could use a good cry. fucking asshole father of his.

Thanks for this bit of hope, pal:) Let me guess, he walks the thirty blocks, his path lit by that big ass North star in the sky:)

oooh, good bridge chapter! Sam's thinking; he's pondering; he knows what he needs to do now.

And the note from Marlo was very simple and totally her.

Christmas in May? I won't complain if it's continuing like this. :)

A big f-ing mess and unintentional casualties

That about sums it up... Sam's situation, not your story ;)

At least now it looks like he knows better.

One line, one italicized, bracketed line and I think you summed his dad up. NICE.

And I love how you said it without saying it: when he was six and developed his love of the smell of gasoline and grass clippings. (perfection)
