Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Bo who always dreamed of becoming the world's best trapeze artist. He trained every day for 172 hours in order to beat his rival, The Blue Menace. The day of the big competition arrived, and Bo came armed with a lorry and his unstoppable determination. They were pitted against each other in a battle of wits, and Bo emerged as the educated victor! His achievement is celebrated every worker's day.

Chapter 06 - Sometimes I Feel So Low "Slow the fuck down, man!" Jeph laughed from behind, hurrying through a busy night street to catch up to a worked up Frank. "Fuck off!" was the answer he received. "'Fraaank," Jeph sang, jumping to the side just in time to avoid a collision with a group of drunken young boys. He jogged a few steps until he was close enough behind to grab him, should he really try to escape. "Fuck off, Jeph," Frank warned, still rushing through the crowds filling the sidewalks in front of the more or less shady clubs. He bit his teeth together when he heard Jeph chuckle next to him. "Oh, come on," and with those words,

Chapter 05 – Felt So Sick Today, Got Cured By Your Voice Quinn was singing quietly under the shower. Frank lay on his bed and, looking at the lovely brick wall that happened to be his friend's view outside the window, thought over his current situation. Even though the change was obviously the right thing and he enjoyed every minute of it, it had brought along other changes that were worrying him when he had time to think. He wouldn't earn as much as he had before, and always had to remind himself that it was worth it. Of course it was worth it. And he could still afford the apartment. Big deal. It wasn't as if he was saving up for any

If Your World Should Fall Apart - Chapter 09 A strong, heavy longing set in, deep in his chest. If he lost control over it, he knew it would drag him down; it would suffocate him until he went and did something about it... Something stupid, which would make him feel even worse afterwards. Long afterwards. But the part when he would actually do it would be okay--probably a relief--and it would definitely lift his mood. Gerard breathed through his open mouth as he was leaning on his arms over the counter of the tiny bathroom from the diner, staring at his reflection. It was so long ago, and he thought-- He just hadn't known that it would be

Chapter 04 – Future Pays A Visit Monday came and Mikey had survived the weekend without his girlfriend. Frank without Brian. While Mikey was talking on the phone, Frank mindlessly drew invisible doodles on the counter with his finger tip. His coffee break had just started, and as he munched away on one of the sandwiches Alicia had brought by this morning, he wondered what Mikey would decide on by the end of the week. Would he be able to stay? He thought it looked good, but wasn't willing to expect anything. Practical habit. But. This uncertainty; he could feel it in his gut. He was also still pissed at Quinn, because… yeah –

Chapter 03 - Nine to Five World Mikey looked back and forth between the cardboard boxes filling the small room in the back. He looked as if it was news to him that they almost reached the ceiling. "Hm," he said, and "Hmm" laced with a bit more interest the second time. "That's your storeroom," Frank stated, standing next to Mikey, taking in the view and looking as cool as he could manage to. When they had entered the room, Mikey had asked him if he had any trouble with his back and when Frank declined, Mikey asked if he wanted to start sorting out all the comics and merchandise hiding in the boxes. Now Mikey looked as if he felt bad about

If Your World Should Fall Apart - Chapter 08 If Brian could have, Brian would have grounded them both and given them detention with Bob. Bob, however, was not very motivated for this and Brian thought everybody had their moments of complete and utter loss of control. That was what he decided on after his unsuccessful attempt to talk some sense into the quarrelers. Brian had taken over some parental quality and switched from talking to them separately, together, then separately again when together failed, and finally also gave up on that, seeing as he had much more fun talking to water coolers. At least they bubbled every now and then, givin
