    27. Those poor indentured peasants toiling for nothing but their masters pleasure suddenly decided that it was time for revolution.

    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.

    29. So they both just rolled over on their backs in a submissive pose and the knight understood.

    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 🙂

    After we have the galley proofs. Let's walk some more, Andy, before running
    to the bank. And we'll split all proceeds evenly down the middle. 😀

    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).

    33. So what a surprise it was for Doyle when he showed up at the local chess tournament to find out that, not only was table 13 not available but everyone there was wearing....yes high top red sneakers. No more was he a fashion maven but just one of the crowd.

    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 🙂
