Chapter 8
It will come as no surprise to most of the readers that this is not only fiction but bald faced lies. The author has been known to stretch the truth past breaking. He is fully aware that Monster Millions is his own creation and does not exist in reality. He is also cognizant of the fact that this an alternate reality. The names might be real ... the people are not. If your name is in here ... it’s not you ... any of you.
Mummy and daddy said sure.
“I have a possible date for the homecoming dance after the game.”
“Ask your mother,” daddy said. But, not until he had carefully looked at me.

“So I can go to the dance?” I was asking the air but my brothers answered.
“Sure, who is it?”
That was the twins. Mikeal, Mike ... and Marcel, Mark ... the seniors. Artur ... Art, the 10th grader, not wanting to be left out of the inqusition, was all ears.
