Chapter 3: Abednego

“So what’s Abe short for?” The girl scooched closer to Abednego, her plastic cup sloshing green frothiness precariously close to the top. Her eyes were almost the same green as the drink; her hair, spilling over her bare shoulders, Abednego’s clothed shoulders, and the back of the couch, was nut-brown and soft as silk; the scattering of freckles on her pale skin were green, too.

I am the oldest of three, and both my siblings had to deal with the expectations I set through school. I was pretty much opposite of Abe's brothers: quiet, studious, well-behaved. My brother didn't appreciate this at all. My sister was more tolerant, but she's also youngest, and my brother got to mix up the expectations on the way through for her. Abe's brothers seem to have failed to provide such a service for him. I gotta wonder, given his seething frustration at the end of the story, if he's going to go Do Something about that at some point.

Abe’s brother pretty much don’t do anything for anyone but themselves.

And… you know, that’s a good idea, sometime at the end of Ghost Story. Maybe summer break…

I always wondered what happened with/to those two, after Agmund and Linden paid them a visit. I remember Pelletier seeing possible redemption for one of them, but after that...? And their victim, Ashley, needed professional repair, in someone's words. What happened there?

Their brother seems less evil, anyway. Kind of nice.

Abednego’s definitely on the far end of the evil scale from his brothers~.

As for them, Shad woke up eventually, I think. Not so sure about Meech.

Ashley was relocated, repaired, and taken care of until she got back on her feet.
