26. all of this quaint scene slowly unfolding in the shadow of the huge stone castle on the hill, surrounded by the peasants dutifully working the fields adjacent to the moat

28. 'but were they (the serfs) dragging the lake for a body , or merely trying to land
an 800 lb sturgeon' ? , vladimir scratched his head and wondered

27. a Bishop from the Roman Church . .. .the BLACK church was walking along the diagonal path from across the tilled field checkered with grain and oats. he saw the helpless lad flailing about in the water, about to be sacrified to the whimsy of caissa. he sat and smiled, waiting for God to send the boy to eterinity when suddenly a Knight jumped from the wood and scooped the lad up by the arm.

White King's Knight as he was known throughout the land was famous for his ability to mess up the Black Bishop's diabolical plans.

28. Both Garlic and Vladmir were far too thankful for their timely rescue by the tall knight to even bark or speak.

30. All of these still vivid memories I found myself reminiscing on during that longer than usual/hotter
than usual shower the stormy evening of the major new server related RHP outage.


End of Chapter One

Chapter Two


31. _________________________

Though we're many chapters away from brainstorming and selecting a title for our novel, would
like to suggest the following in the interest of minimal structure and direction:


Chapter One... Major Outage
(Lines 1-30)


Chapter Two...
(Lines 31-)

Too early to name it but remember that the story line began with, "Still remember..." remembering
the flashback the night of the outage. So in real time Chapter Two probably picks up late 2008 or early 2009.


Thanks to all for a great start. No 'writers cramp' at RHP! -gb 🙂

31. Doyle, not wanting to be called a "wiener", decided that he should get rid of his white bucks and put on the stilettos.

32. Tradition mattered to Doyle though so he saved his old high top red sneakers to wear, as he had always
done, to local area chess tournaments (at which his usual placement was table 13).

Hey, Big Stees, seems to be coming clear that you have introduced the first person pronoun of the first chapter, central character Doyle

and hero of the novel... perhaps we're discovering an autobiographical novel. If so, our creative work is now crying aloud for an equally charismatic

and thoughtful heroine. Perhaps his lovely girlfriend. Yes? -gb 🙂
