mutatismutandisSummary: Bobby gets a letter that sends him on a personal quest.
He looked down at the envelope again.
The outside had nothing but Bobby's name scrawled over a type-written sticker with the school's address. Inside, a simple note:
In the event of my death, I, John Allerdyce, bequeath all of my earthly possessions to Bobby Drake.
The key had been taped to the bottom with the motel's name written next to it. The Lucky 7. Of course John would rent room thirteen at a place called Lucky 7.
"This is stupid," he said to the door. "I haven't even talked to him in ten years. He just did this out of spite."
Ten years later, some things have changed for Bobby Drake and others not so much. I really like the characterisation in this, plausibly extrapolating from the boys they were when we last saw them to the men they've grown into.
