It’s nearly enough to bring a tear to my eye. Eventually, every baby lion gets pushed out of the nest and has to learn to fly on its own.
One of my best friends, Lorn Hillaker, has just released his first book on Amazon! It’s about pirates and dragons fighting over gold on a magical sea, because gold is what powers their magic. If that sounds cool to you, check it out! I’ve made some references to this over the years, but I have a group of close friends that go way back, to when the planet was nothing more than a crust of molten rock. There are nine of us, each of whom secretly rules over 1/9th of the Earth. We play games together pretty much all the time*, every year we all go on a trip, and every week we select one random stranger to cast through the infinite cosmos on a journey of self-discovery. Lorn is one of those friends, and in middle school, we actually both tied for first in a writing contest. It was for a history essay, and he won because he knew the history. I won because I pretended to know the history. He went on to get his PhD in History, and I went on to make up a bunch more stuff. Now he’s muscling in on my turf. During the pandemic, while he was trapped indoors, he called me and asked for my advice in learning to write a book. I told him if he actually followed through with it, I’d shout him out. Well, he did it! Way to go, Lorn! You made it! And now your book has been thrown to the lions. The flying lions. Good luck. -Will *I tend to abandon them for months at a time while writing books. Sorry, guys. Blame Devin.

This sounds like it could have led to a nemesis origin story. Instead it's a heartwarming tale of childhood friends.

Good work deserves good recommendation, I met a powerful spell caster who is 100% real and powerful. I was heartbroken when my wife left me and moved out of the house. I felt my life was over and my world was crumbling around me. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrow and pain because I was really in love with my wife. I have tried many options but she did not come back, until a friend directed me to Dr Kala, a powerful spell caster and I explained my problem to him and he helped me to get my wife back within 24hrs.. Me and my wife are living happily together again, This man is powerful and if you have any problem with your marriage and relationship? Just tell him your situation and he will help you. If you are in need of help to get your love back, you can contact Dr Kala on email: kalalovespell@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347051705853

One day I plan on meeting Devin. Maybe. That way I can be sure that it's always Devin's fault. But since I haven't met Devin, I blame Sam

You are not near old enough to have been friends with anyone that long. Maybe the cretaceous period or so, but no older.

Tell him to make an audio book version (preferably read by Travis Baldree, lol) and I'll definitely spend a credit to give it a listen. :)

Well I picked it up on Amazon! Will give it a go and see if this elder dragon is really immortal or not.
