Oh goodness!
He finally got a brain and asked you to marry him!
Now you have to go tell your mom and dad that they are about to gain a brand-new son-in-law.
Here's how it goes.
-"We're too young for this scenario, ya filthy animals"
-"See you in the next one!"
-(Gon, in a whisper to Killua) "Dude, I think we could actually even LEGALLY get them arrested for this! Hee hee!"
-"Mom, Dad...guess what? I'm getting married!"
-"To who? That Pooka guy?"
-"Yes Dad, and you better learn how to say his name right before the wedding"
-Your dad grumbles. "He's kind of a stiff. But at least I suppose you'll have all your insurance policies and finances and wills and stuff in order your whole life with him"
-Your mom gives you a hug. "I'm going to have such beautiful grandchildren! I do hope they take your eyes, though, honey...he's got something weird about his"
-Your dad breaks out the cigars. "Aha, my little girl landed herself a doctor, this calls for a celebration"
-Your mom is disapproving. "Jim. Don't be so gauche. It doesn't matter what the boy does for a living, as long as they are in love"
-Your dad lights a stogie. "Okay then. Let's celebrate the fact that she's not marrying Mr. La-Dee-Da-Dee, the one who paints hearts and shit on his face..."
-"...You cannot be serious"
-"Yes Dad, we are in love, and we are getting married"
-"You better be prepared for a little...what's the technical term for it these days? Polyamory"
-"No, Dad. We've discussed this at length and he says he's ready to settle down"
-Your dad snorts. "I give it a month. And that's if you play your cards right."
-Your mom claps her hands in glee. "A nice Jewish boy! This is exactly what I always wanted for my baby!"

-"And isn't he all set up in the family business, too?" your dad adds. "Perfect. Can't ask for better. Remind me again what they do?"
-"Um..."
-"Sweetie, now I know you hate when I say this, but I'm going to insist you make him cut that hair before the wedding. Think of the pictures. He simply can't have all that hanging in his face"
-"Dear, Dad and I are thrilled you're marrying your young man, but I have to ask a favor of you"
-"Okay, Mom, what is it?"
-"Can you keep your last name? I really don't know how I'm going to explain it to my women's Bible study group if you change it to his"
-"Great, all my grandkids are going to be midgets"
-"Dad! I asked you before to please not make fun of his height!"
-"Is he going to wear that damn mask up there in front of the priest while he's saying 'I do?'"
-"Shal? My parents are batshit crazy"
-"Let's elope. Pack a bag, quick, we'll just go do it in Vegas"

Heaven Falls
-Book One Synposis- Vorlanys. A realm created by the angels for mortals. For millennia, many angels have lived amongst the mortals, aiding the mortals in their advancement. The High Angel Forynda has only tolerated this, however. She is concerned that ultimately the flaws of both angels and mortals would combine to create a cataclysm that would shatter both Vorlanys and the angels' home realm of Ceuna. Tragedies, unforeseen by any mortal or angel, set in motion that long-feared calamity and hurtle both worlds toward an irrevocable conflagration. Neither will ever be the same. Follow the lives of multiple characters, from lowly inhabitants of minor villages to the angels of Ceuna themselves, as they experience this approaching doom. *** -Book Two Synopsis- Ceuna has divided. Angels and mortals have taken their sides in a war for the fate of Vorlanys. Forynda, the High Angel and ruler of Ceuna, intends to end the entire struggle in a swift and decisive stroke with her awesome power. Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time. If you are looking for a tight focus on just a handful of characters, that's not this story. It is meant to provide a broad series of perspectives on an absolutely calamitous world-shaping war. Thanks for reading and be sure to leave comments, ratings, and reviews at your convenience. I love hearing from you.

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
