About this ebook
What does a twelve-year-old chess tournament junkie do when their manager/legal guardian discovers a long lost relative, eighty million times removed, that pops up and says: Hey, I want to spend time with a total stranger that I might be less related to than Jesus? And a kid?
And where is this relative? In the middle of nowhere! In an actual, honest to God, log-freaking-cabin covered in miles of snow. And no internet!
Yeah, that’s a whole lotta nope right there.
Hopefully this “relative” just wants an autograph and civilization can be returned to before any lasting harm is done.
Everyone knows that boredom kills kids.
Every day.

Entry

23.1
I heard it first. The honk of the horn, the drum of the garbage cans. The far away birr of the freeway traffic. And before I knew it I was through the tunnel, broke into the light and there was I was, back in the glorious and industrial mecca of…nowhere I wanted
to
be
.
Through the eight solid years of traveling I’ve done in my twelve whole years of life, the cities were washing into a grit-pocked foam of buildings that bubbled over rivers with thin bridges and underground tunnels. Metal and concrete suds that stretched over flat prairie land in groupings and mounds of civilization until it gathered at the ocean’s edge on either side of the country. The sea salt dissolving the progress with its cold, dark depths.
I’ve seen it all. Or at least it feels
like
it
.
All the cities and sprawls, right across the United States. North, south, east and west. The country feels like a patchwork quilt of relative sameness with the occasional local area garnish where Best Foods is called Hellman’s, the kind of weather I will face-smack into between cab and hotel lobby, and what garble of sound that passes for English the bellman will slide at me (the kid) with a wink and an explanation of what it means. "What the local kids are saying thereabouts
these
days
."
Snore. Yawn. Get me in my room, please.
Here’s a tip: leave your condescending ass-kissing for the adults. They lap that
shit
up
.
Yep. Twelve. Said
shit
.
Boom
.
Sigh.
Sorry, my bad. I’m just grumpy because I am not stopping in this city of bland, at a hotel copy-cat, to lay down in quiet after a five hour flight on a subpar airline. Nope, I am driving to some poe-dunk land of the unknown in the middle of trees and mountains and wild animals. In a place called Montana.
Yes, I’ve heard of Montana. But it is one of the few states I have not been too. I’m trying to think of another, but not coming to mind. Because it’s Montana. It was the leftover land after everyone was done dividing up the country. They clumped it together, slapped a name on it and left it to its own devices. And in the years since we have got a whole lot of nothing from that state.
Geography test: what is the state most likely to be forgotten? OK, well there is Delaware, unless you live there. But otherwise? Montana.
They (my manager/legal guardian and the state of Oregon where I was born) discovered a long lost relative, eighty million times removed, that popped up and said hey, I want to spend time with a total stranger that I might be less related
