He's at the bar, starring into space . So much has happen in the year. How can one person lose so much mother, father (who might not be your father, your real father could be a rapist/Murder) a brother, nephew, his job and his partner. What is left, only an empty apartment. How does one carry on from there? Can things get worse? Yes! Trouble Walks in!


Based on What Goren is thinking while sitting at the bar in purgatory.

I like this inner monologue, especially the personification of Stout as trouble. So true. Good job.

Interesting! Judging from the expression on Bobby's face during that first scene before Copa walks in, I can totally believe he's thinking this. He looks so lost....

I had 69, Quaxo . . . you beat me. Grr!

Copying . . . pasting to Word . . . And now word count . . . D'oh!

Good job, JRyan! Very good job!

Very nice. I can see Goren thinking this while sitting at the bar. Great job.

Nice job, JRyan!

Great! You inspired me.

With the other flash fics that we've been posting I haven't been able to write one off the same title, emotion, event, whatever the original inspiration was, but this one did. I sure hope you don't mind me 'riffing' on your title.

Hey ... don't worry too much about the word count being as low as possible - that makes it too hard (or too easy - I could just write a story called GOREN and it would be one word long "Complicated")

Aim for 100. Spot on 100 wins the Prize Mug every time

Again great job!

I should probably check out the CI Fan Fic thread more often!

You captured Goren's thoughts so well! Good job, Jryan!
