It's funny. I've always had this idea that all my characters lived in the same universe, and that I intended to build a fictional city based on the town where I'm living for the summer. For years, that seemed like a faroff and faintly unreal possibility. Now, with the publication of this story, there will be four stories in circulation in which this town exists, two that take place here explicitly. It's like I have dreams and then they come true years later.
Congrats, DftF!

Ahh, you just answered a question I posted in another thread.
Make the computer say "The only way to win...is not to play." Then we'll all learn a lesson about world peace and how to not nuke each other.
So the schizophrenic brother is also a computer genius and decides to hack the kids who are bullying his brother, only to find out that their parents are actually war criminals from the VIetnam war. He exposes them and since they are also connected to the mob, the schizophrenic brother has to move to the aforementioned town to live in the witness protection program.
He's paranoid, but they really are out to get him. A nightmare subject for the witness protection folks.

And how stupid tic-tac-toe is.
