Mikey, this segment has great action and drama for the reader to absorb. The touches of unexpected humor adds to the interest. Well done, my friend. :0 GracieAnn

But, the thing about one's own writing it is meant to be for your amusement, too. I am in complete agreement. Enjoyable chapter, lots of action, the plot is being drawn together nicely and justice will hopefully be done. Faye

For those of us that get the movie referrences this is a SCREAM!!!! Hahaha. This chapter has it all. Yet, the story remains plausible and everything is realistic even the outlandish Bard. Now, to get all those kids out though a camp full of metcenaries without a hitch. Whew!!

Nobody takes on the Bard and walk away from it :) Barry thought he was so clever, but he's no much for the Bard, Lucy, and the others. Another well crafted chapter filled with good humor. Great stuff.

Your getting fancy with your slang. Is that Billy Bob Thorton I see? Slingblade. He mauled Dwight Yokum, before he escaped in his Cadillac with his guitar. He told John Ritter, "You may be queer--but you been alright with me... He's gonna kill that boy!" UUUMMMM---"They told me--hummm--to call an ambulance---and a hurst...hummm---I think he's dead---that second chop nearly took his head off---hhuumm." "Fellow---don't you ever talk to me again---humm---sick of listening to you---humm." Lot of live action in this unit. Like the wrestling photos. Guess the three school buses will be arriving soon--humm--to pick up them brats. Why do you talk funny? This is too easy. I see the silver bullet coming from the green knoll. The Bard is a hero. Loonier than a loon. He talks funny--like Billy Bob. "Why do you have that hammer in your hand? Huuuummm--Better not hurt that boy!HUUMM. You set yourself up for this, Mikey. LOL! A sense of humor goes a long ways---huummm...They taking me back to the crazy house---hummm...

Lucy walked back to the children's cells to the sounds of silence. She looked at Lucy << Names are the same...OOPS!

Love the reference to Slingblade...one of my all-time favorite movies. :)

Great chapter!

    I should have named everybody Lucy for a paragraph just to see if anyone noticed!! Glad you caught that. Duh, Slingblade is also one of my favorites and I do a spot on impersonation!! I do the creep from Silence of the Lambs too. A shame I don't do more conventional ones that might get me a stand up career. Remeber Anthony Newley? Hahaha. Nobody else does!!! mikey

    Of course I remember Anthony Newley! Doesn't everyone?
reply by the author on 14-Aug-2014

Great chapter and notes. Amusing yourself while writing usually works out well. This chapter is a good example.

He started prancing in front of the cells housing the children. -- 'He pranced' might read stronger. Your call.

You're a funny dude.

You're letting us out too, right?" A voice from another cell called out. -- lowercase 'a' following question mark. I know it's weird, and I still haven't figured out the rule. You might want to double check it, but if I remember correctly, it's lowercase.

Funny end. Sounds just like him.
