Thanks to your support, "The Summer I Really Didn't Kidnap Lance Hardwood" made it to the ONC2024's Shortlist! Go Team Pete! Here's another excerpt. They've just escaped from Las Vegas' Bellagio: "As we climbed the banks onto the sidewalk, a beat-up wood-paneled station wagon pulled up in front of us and gave a series of honks that sounded like a goose undergoing a transformation into foie gras without first being killed. There was a nun in the driver's seat. The window lowered, and Scarlet's voice screamed, "Get in now! Put on these habits and keep low, like you're praying for release from this city of sin!" She got one look at Thunder and waved her hand in front of her chest. "You too, you incredible hunk, you!" Thunder stood there, looking perplexed. "Okay! I'm done with the Corps. I came to Vegas for a little fun. And this morning's been a real rollercoaster ride! What do you need me to do?" "Well now," she chirped, "We have Peter's brains, we have my beauty, and now we have your brawn. And brains, and your..." "Body?" He said, flexing his biceps. Scarlet was enjoying this. So, truth be told, was I. "What..." groaned Lance, "What just happened?" I held my temper and my tongue. "We were just discussing whether we should dismember you now or wait until we get to Yosemite National Park so we can leave your remains for the bears. No! You don't get to ask questions. You are going to tell us all what happened between the time you went to sleep, and the time we found you wrestling in mud under the name Sir Lancelot. After what all of us have just been through, you owe us that!" He sighed. "It started when my pajamas slipped off..."
