Don't worry about it man. It's all good.

My thoughts exactly Jon! I like the way you think. I was thinking we could have Ghost find out about Toast and Katrina for the climax and that's what sends him over the edge. Oz and Katrina definitely aren't going to survive to the end of the story; haven't decided about Norberg or Brad yet. What are your thoughts? How should we play the love triangle, and what should be the fates of the characters?

I've got a few other ideas about what I want to do with the story but I don't want to turn it too much into a wish fulfillment exercise. For example, I think Toast would at least let Leah know that her brother is back, and she'd probably want to come back if she knew about that. But if she came back, would that mean Ben would come back? Because we can't have Ben in it for obvious reasons. I suppose we could have her in as a cameo - she gets the message from Toast near the beginning, then drops in near the end just as Ghost has lost his memory again and leaves disappointed. But I don't know, I need a second opinion. So how would you say we handle it? Would Ben be involved at all?

Also, I think it would only be apt it Ghost's mother was involved in some capacity. Which brings me to another point; I'd like to share with you a personal headcanon of mine. You remember me telling you about that short story in StarBurst, about that boy Jimmy who was killing his foster-families so he would be reunited with his mother (who was locked up after Jimmy killed his abusive father defending her and she took the rap)? You can probably see where I'm headed with this. That Jimmy is supposed to be Casket (though I doubt that was the original intention). I still don't quite know how Cardboard Friend fits into this beyond what we already know. Because Tommy died before Ghost's birth I am going to assume that the father is a stepfather, for example John. I still don't know how to explain Pee Wee Ghost yet though, I'll just go with his second adoptive father (not counting the foster families he killed) was a time traveller. Ghost said he lived with his mother after the death of his father so presumably they let her out after the true culprit revealed himself. And we can't kill her off either since Ghost said she's still alive. We can, however, stick her in a position where she would have no further interaction with the story (for example a nervous breakdown leading to confinement in a sanitarium). And Pee Wee's fate is certainly not set in stone.

(I've also an idea of how "my mother was a man" came about and it involves someone in drag)
