Midnight Sun Chapter 9(again) Part 1
Yes, someone screwed up. I went back to the beginning of the last chapter and looked and it’s a nine. Not an eight that didn’t scan quite right but an actual nine just like this chapter is also nine. This … Continue reading

Midnight Sun Chapter 9 Part 2
Bella jumps into car without thinking and Ed is still mad he can’t kill people indiscriminately in front of her. They leave the would be rapists/murderers/suprise makeover specialists stand there and watch the car drive off. Presumably while shaking their … Continue reading

Midnight Sun Chapter 6 part 2
So Ed is still finishing off the conversation that they can’t be having yet. Maybe it’s all happening in his head as he reads the future as Alice sees it. That’d be some trippy Phillip K Dick stuff right there … Continue reading
Midnight Sun Chapter 6 Part 1
