Ha! I love that - unsolved Homicide issues...

Thank you, I loved it. Something that's gone, something that can't be fixed. I always felt that Bayliss represents the viewers in some way. Maybe through your version of him we'll also be able to deal with our unsolved Homicide issues...

Love this so far. I can see Bayliss burning all his stuff to free himself of his past. He loves catharsis.

His middle name is Catharsis!

“It was just stuff, and I do not need to negotiate with it.” A mantra for Boomers everywhere who are currently jettisoning boxes. Stuff can be its own prison! Thanks… 🔥

Is Lousy a play on Laozi (even though that's Taoism rather than Buddhism)? Meldrick and Mikey, they have a bond that can never really be severed... Bayliss dreamed of Frank coming to get him because of course he did. And Frank is still teaching. Glad Bayliss has his Maryland ID. Looking forward to seeing where he's headed next! I am a Maryland local myself, used to go to Bmore regularly, and have been to WV so will keep an eye out for anything familiar. Excited about more journal entries to come!

Thanks Mason. Lousy is a few things. But, I'll leave that for now...

It's like Bayliss is just talking out loud...right to me. :) How awesome is this?! I can hear his voice, clear as day, and see it all through his eyes. I can't wait to read all that comes after! Fantastic job - but that's not at all surprising. :) So glad you got permission to share, iffy or not! I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

Great writing so far. Looking forward to see what happens to Bayliss. Maybe he will help save a life to find a deeper since of purpose to carry on.
