Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Waiting for O'Connor

Ken knew what he had seen. He knew what he had heard. And thus to prove himself right, he waited all day for O'Connor to return to the doorway in the side of by the time the young O'Connor did arrive, the night had very much come.

But it was the waiting itself that had driven Ken mad. Usually quite patient, Ken found himself deeply affected by not being believed when he was telling the truth. In no way had he been crying wolf. His entire story of the night before had been true and he would prove it!

The hours had been long for him, especially since a second could feel like an hour for him. To get through these long hours he planned his web miniseries: "Crossing to the Unexplained." It was nothing really and he doubted anyone would be watching but he would be doing it for the art. If Heidi could do something like that then how hard could it be?

He then thought about his throwing axe collection. He owned a Francisca, a hurlbat, a keteriya, a whole set of Mambele, an Nzappa zap and, of course, his prized tomahawk. Who was there to really talk about stuff like that? Who was there that collected throwing axes? Just him. He was odd.

By the time the young O'Connor had arrived, Ken was contemplating taking mental health days from school. Thankfully, it was the arrival of the young O'Connor.

"I've been waiting for you!" exclaimed Ken, intending to make himself known to the kid.

"I was expecting as much, Ken." Replied the young O'Connor.

"You know my name?"

"Yes, and a lot of other things, like you were born in Morocco on January twenty-third."

Ken had not given his date or place of birth to that many. Only two people in Norrisville knew either of those things. One was Heidi Weinerman, whom Ken was infatuated with and thus was someone Ken was comfortable telling these sort of things too and he did indeed have trouble telling people the littlest things about himself. The other was Niall Warburton, his surrogate younger brother.

And that was what clued Ken in. The moment his eyes widened in realization, the young O'Connor entered the doorway and quickly locked the door. This was going to make things somewhat easier for Ken.
