《Country Living - Finn Harries (JacksGap)》Chapter 6: Letters and Gifts
Advertisement
'Dear Morgan, I will forewarn you that I will say 'I wish I were home' a billion times in this letter and it will still not express my want to come home. Although New York is cool and all, it will never beat Florence and you and everyone else. I've had so many people ask me about my accent (It's getting annoying). And, get this, they ask me if I like Tennessee football (It has been the struggle trying not to explode into Alabama pride...).'
I laughed a little before I began to read more of the letter. The more I read, the more my eyes watered and wanted to spill. It made me miss Kennedy even more.
'I got you some stuff to cover for your birthday, Christmas, and graduation. Mom has been strict on who I talk to, so this might be the only time I get to talk to you and send you stuff. James (the step-guy) gave me an unlimited credit card so I wouldn't have to ask him for money, so I got you some cool stuff. You don't have to give me anything, especially since Mom is checking and making sure I don't get to see anything from Florence (but if you want to go on my iTunes account and put some gift cards on there, that would be cool. J). Tell Mrs. Jenny that I think about her all the time, and that yall will always be in my prayers. Hopefully we'll see each other soon, or when Aslan calls, or when we're invited to an Order of the Phoenix meeting. Just not at the Hunger Games, please. Love you with all my Disney addicted, Rowling loving, and bully hating heart, Kennedy.'
I finished reading the letter, wiping my face with my shirt sleeve. "Aw... I wish I had friends like that." Jack said. "Ugh, don't cry, Morgan." I said to myself. "Let's see what she got you." Finn said, sitting down on the other side of the boxes. I pulled on the tissue paper to reveal all the stuff Kennedy got me. Jewelry, like bracelets, necklaces and earrings, were in the box, along with a Canon camera, a laptop, some black Beats, and a few different phone cases. There was also a new flat iron, a curling wand set, a new hairdryer, and a large pallet of makeup. In the second box, there was a pair of high waisted jean shorts, 3 really cute plaid shirts, 2 belts, and 3 pairs of Converses: one black, one lilac purple, and one pokkadotted pair. 'Wear this to the Summer Hoedown. If I find out that you didn't go, I'm so going to win the Hunger Games against you. ♥ K.' a note in the box said. "Look at that, you even have an outfit. You have to go now." Finn said. "And you guys have to come with me." I said. "What?!" Jack asked in a girly voice. "Yeah, since you guys are so into me going, you have to go with me. Like Finn said earlier, you guys aren't here to just work on the farm." I said. "That's true, I did say that." Finn said. "But, I have nothing to wear." Jack said. "Oh, come on. Just some jeans and some plaid. I bet Josh left some plaid, maybe even some boots. You guys have to come." I said. "I'm in." Finn said, winking at me. "Sure, I guess I have to be in as well." Jack said. "Great, now, you guys can help me with chores." I said, making Jack groan and Finn laugh.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
