EPILOGUE

Dear Rhythm,

Zigzag and I are liking our new apartment. It's nothing like what Dad would pick out, I know, but it's home to us. Small, comfy, sunny, close to the school. He's got a good job with a contractor and he's working on his G.E.D. I like school. It's pretty low-key there. We live close to Magnet. But not for long. He's joined a travelling basketball team. They're really good. Well, I know nothing about basketball, but Zig says they're really good. Diamond is going to follow him. She hates school and her town and everything and she's going to do the online college thing for a while, until the two of them can settle down. It's so weird, talking about settling down when we're all younger than twenty. Don't ever think that's what I'm doing. Alright? I'm not settling down. I'm taking time off from my insanity.

I guess the real reason I wanted to write was to tell you that I heard about your Dad. If any S.O.B. deserves to be arrested it's him. Squid called me and told me all about it. He cares about you so much. It does my heart good. Hehe. It's good that Squid's going to finish high school. He's so smart. I don't know if you knew this, but the two of us used to steal Pendanski's (and then Gretsky's) files all the time. The boy's a genius at locks. God, I feel like a proud mother or something.

Also, I heard one of your songs on Local Radio the other day. Wow! You're going to get so famous. Don't forget about your old CGL friends when you do. OK?

Love,

Thorne

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yeah, this story has been going on for a long time. I don't think I've updated in three years. But the things is that I'm just so sick of looking at this story, unfinished. So...here it is. Complete.
