Subject: Hey look gang - it's another teaser!

So, in no way am I ready to start posting new chapters, but this is it. This is where it's going. It's the briefest of tastes, but at least it's something.

---

I wake up on the seventh day, after I’ve spent a week in my room, having made it my own little universe of misery and emotional wreckage, and it’s that first moment that I’m fully conscious again, that I finally know. I know what I feel and I know what I have to do about it.

In that spirit, I get up and march into Kyle’s room. He’s asleep in his bed and I cough loudly. No response. I cough again. He stirs, but then just turns onto his side.

I sigh, and then shout, “KYLE!”

He jerks awake, wide eyed and mildly bewildered.

“Carrots?” He forces himself into a sitting position, still half asleep but trying to be supportive big brother guy, assuming I’m here because I’m having some kind of crisis.

“Kyle?”

“What?” He answers gently.

“We gotta go on a road trip.”

“What?” More awake and confusion pushing away most of the gentleness.

“Seriously. There’s nothing else for it. Start packing while I go to go buy some food for the road.”

“What?!”

“Calgary. We have to go to Calgary and beat some sense into Celery.”

It’s the longest most confused pause in the history of long confused pauses.

Then Kyle nods.

“Alright.”
