That's Daniel Dae Kim, Amy Adams, David Beckham, Hayden Christiansen and Meghan Ory respectively.
HMLIS Sneak Peak
So, the Vice chapter I'm going to post is SHORT. So, I've decided to go ahead and share some snippets from HMLIS as requested. Now, something I don't think I've made clear is that HMLIS has two POVs. With that in mind, I'm going to share the first bit of dialouge from each POV.
POV 1
“Why didn’t they move you into the new building ?,” I ask.POV 2
“I asked to stay.” He replies proudly. “This place used to be a church back in the old days. I kind of like the spiritualness of it. It’s inspiring, you know ? Are you very spiritual ?”
I’d been to church exactly six times in my life. Which also correlates with the number of funerals I’ve been to. Still, when I had been in those churches I got a feeling there was something there.
“I’m spiritual, I guess.” I say.
“That’s a good answer,” he says. “We all gotta believe in something.”
“I believe in a lot of things,” I think aloud
“That’s good,” he compliments me again.
After a beat I decide it is time.
My burgundy BMW Crossover is always out of place in this neighborhood and Philip gets annoyed when I drive it here because the neighbors always stare and talk shit about me when I leave.
But it’s my fuck your car, so it’s doing it’s job.
I climb in the driver’s seat and face him, he stands between my dangling legs and pokes at my fuchsia Converses. I hate how sometimes it seems like we’ve run out of things to say.
He reaches in to the back pockets of his jeans and gives me his Dad’s credit card.
Well, that was nerve wrecking !
CHAPTER 10
It's short, but I had to break it up for pacing purposes.
Alan settles into life now that Sara has promised him a return home, but in a drug induced stupor Alan falls off the roof...

Philip ? Oh, Honey you named a character after me (:
ReplyDeleteI guess I did ! Although, to be honest, I'd love to use your first name in something. It's so pretty.
DeletePhilip ? Oh, Honey you named a character after me (:
ReplyDeleteWhat ?! What ?! Did anyone ever guess Luce ?
ReplyDeleteI think someone did actually. I need to keep better track of these things.
DeleteUm, to much happening. To much to process HMLIS is spent peeks ? DAT ENDING ?
ReplyDeleteI was afraid it was going to be too much, but the chapter was just so short.
DeleteOkay, now I need to go back and re-read all of Luce's section. But doesn't Sara have a c-section scar ?
ReplyDeleteHmmm....
DeleteLuce also has blood. So maybe he isn't a robot persay.
DeleteI can not believe I asked and you delivered with HMLIS. So much to detect.
ReplyDeleteOkay so we have a philip. The Second POV is a girl. . . maybe a rich girl?
Hey, it could be a dude wearing pink converses . . . maybe ?
DeleteI'm going to steal from Lile, (;
Delete(I think I need to get my own emoticon)
Seriously. WHO IS ALAN GRAY ?
ReplyDeleteJust because he doesn't have a belly button doesn't mean he is a robot, maybe he was just made like in a test tube or something.
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah
DeleteHe wasn’ t human,
Maybe. I can see that.
DeleteOkay, I'm flippin' heads here
ReplyDeleteHMLIS SNEAK PEEK = REASON TO LIVE
Okay, so I'm getting a optomistic boy meets a jaded girl vibe.
As for that chapter. . . I'm just glad Alan didn't get as ripped and stitched as he does in Veritas.
Well, in Veritas he is much more injured. One of the reasons I changed the circumstances of Alan's "clinic" visit was because I thought Alan was just a little too willing in Veritas to go and do these things and then gets to be a hero, when in both versions Alan is a little hapless.
Delete“No one will tell you this, but I will.” He mumbles. “Rayne is very powerful, he and Sara both. Whatever you do just stay on his good side and never stop being useful. Make them need you. It’s how you’ll survive. From what I saw on the chip you seemed to have a nice life waiting for you and I hope you get back to it.”
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I just really like this section. I think it's because we get this complete quirky random character who give Alan advice he can live by.
I think Quirky Random is great way to describe Blackbird. Also, it's advice he can literally "live" by.
DeleteOkay, so it seems like someone's apartment has burned down in HMLIS. Maybe Phillip is the non-narrator in the first section, but he doesn't sound as optimistic as that character does.
ReplyDelete*pets MFA*
You're kind sorta on to something.
DeleteIt's so weird seeing everyone's interpertation of those lines. I mean it's really odd. A lot of you all are right, but some of you aren't
Yeha, but how are they standing in a car ?
DeleteThe person in the fuschia shoes is sitting in the (parked)car sideways with the door open, so their feet hanging over the car. The other person is standing in front of them.
DeleteOops, did I forget to use pronouns ?
I need to refresh on Veritas, was Alan owing a debut to Rayne always going to be apart of the story, that happens in Vice right ?
ReplyDeleteI bet that shiz happens for real in gangs.
DeleteIn Veritas, Alan just goes along with killing for Rayne because of reasons. During the kill he gets hurt and Blackbird (off screen) fixes him and Alan has to pay a debt to Rayne like in here. It's just not as explicit as it is here.
DeleteOMG, that could have been Minnie. Did Minnie not realize how dangerous the drug was ? Why would she let him
ReplyDeletetake so much !!
She did know. She's kind of reckless. We will get to this in the next chapter.
DeleteSo, like. . . he can use the restroom ?
ReplyDelete*awkward question is awkward*
DeleteOkay, these snippets could mean ANYTHING. I mean the people in the first POV don't seem to know each other well. Could be like co-workers, teacher/student, classmates working on a project ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe ? I'll have to come back to these comments after I post these chapters.
DeleteHmm, so can we assume Blackbird is integral in this series as well
ReplyDeleteHey, did we get the other lit references ? was it the wine ?
Blackbird is a bit more integral. The thing is, he is an agoraphic (hence why he has a never used car outside his house and Rayen brings him food) so he can't be around much.
DeleteThe other literary reference is: Everything was beautiful, nothing hurt. It's from Slaughterhouse Five.
The El and Pascal pics look that same. Hayden will look get when he gets old.
ReplyDeleteIf you mean like a GQMF, then yes
DeleteOkay did we get an official Y/Y on the BH connection ? Cause I think Philip could be Dark and maybe the girl is Rin.
ReplyDeleteEven if it was wasn't she like suffering from amnesia at the end or homeless or something.
DeleteTO THE FORUMS
Hmm, yeah, about that...
DeleteWhoa, okay apart from the ending I was kind of floored how Blackbird called Rayne and Sara "These people"
ReplyDeleteBlackbird doesn't trust people.
DeleteOkay, what is Sara doing in the East. We better not find out in a sequel or anything.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is mad because Derek did something to Luce to make him all "fabricated"
DeleteMaybe ? Don't worry, Alan is going to get answers for you all.Hopefully.
DeleteAlso, what is this sequel talk ?
DeletePascal was 27 ?! I feel so bad for Minnie.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for pretty much everyone in this story. Let's just say HMLIS is going to be refresher.
DeleteI think Rayne knows who Alan is, I mean he was quick to pay for his surgery and give him a ring.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good point. But Rayne also doesn't say not to a chance to "own" more people.
DeleteOT, I just noticed SH's banners make words
ReplyDeleteJust Keep Typing One Letter At A Time.
It should say one serial at a time.
DeleteI didn't do that intentionally. I was actually going to make it One Serial At A Time, but then my muse was like: How about no Shawna.
DeleteSeeing Grace and Gray together they look so similar.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I literally just noticed this. I never intended to use Sara's last name much.
DeleteSeeing Grace and Gray together they look so similar.
