Warnings: This is rated R for a REASON!!! There IS violence and there IS language. VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE ARE IN THIS. If you have a problem with foul language or violence of any kind, please, please stop reading right now. Don't even read the disclaimer, just close your browser. There is going to be angst, there is going to be sap, there is going to be happy there is going to be sad, angry, crazy, homicide, and perhaps even suicide. I HAVE introduced a character and ideas of my own making but I promise they are used only to explain anything I thought needed to be explained from the real book (my interpretation ONLY) and to further the plot line.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (JTHM). I have never claimed to, nor will I ever claim to. Jhonen Vasquez is keeper of all rights to JTHM and anything associated with it (SQUEE!, I Feel Sick, etc.) I have copied parts of his book directly into this story without permission, but only as a reference as to when the parts take place. I have used the characters Jhonen Vasquez (aka… GOD) has created without permission. Should Jhonen Vaquez find this and wish to sue me for doing so, Jhonen Vasquez should know that I am a poor college student writing because I am insane and would die if I did not.

Authors Notes: This is a series with an overall title of "Enough to Stay" There are going to be several parts and an epilogue, and each part is going to have a couple chapters. This whole thing is VERY LONG.

The first part takes place during the seventh comic, almost all the way to the end of it. I tried not to change any part of the actual book, and tried to include all the parts of the storyline that were there in the comics. What I've written takes place between scenes, like the parts of the story that you don't see in the comics. Have fun and don't take it too seriously. It may be good or bad but it is STILL just a story.

I love comments and criticism, so send me word (or words!!!) on what you thought of this if you make it to the end and even if you don't. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
