A Flash Forward

We're entering the last week of May. This is a heads up that on May 31 I will begin running a series of polls to determine which storyline I should continue. Each poll will be open for 24 hours only, so be sure to check back daily during the first few days of June if you want to participate in a vote.

Meanwhile, today's chapter pauses the sequels to "Ambush from an Unexpected Quarter," describing what happens when Will lets Caleb pursue his interest in Sydeny. Tomorrow we jump forward along an alternate timeline to "The End of One Road" , where Sydney and Will are the couple. They have advanced quite far in the book, and are planning to replace a bunch of their schoolmates with duplicates, and to use those duplicates to make a ten-person cult. Meanwhile, Will has discovered that going out with Sydney has brought a different price: Caleb and Keith have ruptured their friendship with him, and he's getting attention from bullies that he doesn't want attention from. He's told this to Sydney, and they're laying plans to do something about it.
