So a couple of answers along with 'your life would be better not knowing right now'. Which only puts Peter in a place of wanting to know, and wanting to live his life.
More than a nugget, indeed! You've tapped a veritable seam of Grand Plot Advancement. I felt this was a turning point story for Peter - as others have said, more mature.
You know, first time I started reading this, I didn't get into it: didn't make it to the end of Dead Men. Glad I tried again, glad this is on the interwebs.
Hydyins = One of the ideas lining Swift's wastepaper basket. Gullivers meets them trying to outdo themselves in as wacky stunts as possible, and if they end in a ball of flame, so much the better.
Todd - Maybe I'll actually pass you by, since I'm headed for Georgia!
Jennifer - Haha! I try to leave 'em wantin' more.
Rai - You could pull an INCEPTION on the Peter plot.
daymon34 - Thanks!
Anonymous - Both already planned. Grandfather's backstory will need to happen a looooooong time from now. The WITCHES...well, they're practically around the corner.
Which means in about 9 to 12 months.
Rubberduck - Haha! The Motherlode of Plot Advancement.
Interesting...I'm glad you stuck around, too! Thanks for the complement!
Todd - Maybe I'll actually pass you by, since I'm headed for Georgia!
Then welcome back! Highly unlikely you'll pass through the state's southwesternmost county, but shout if you do: my house is about the only thing in it.
Oh, and avoid the stand advertising "hot boiled peanuts." The guy gets them from out of a can.
Awesome, tantalising story! Looking forward to the next bit, whenever you get the time and inspiration! You definitely have a talent. Good luck with the move, I know how stressful that can be.
mikokit - Thank you! It's all finished now, thankfully.
Todd - AHA! So you ARE acquainted with the boiled peanut on a personal basis!
Mary - Thank you! (waves vigorously)
Cat - Wow, thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I'm afraid you might be let down by the next story, but it's got a key piece I have to get across...and the boys haven't gone exploring in the house yet, which is probably long overdue...
PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

It's good to be a mad scientist's friend.
Except when he's trying to kill you.
Good luck with the move! Shout hello as you pass through Illinois, although technically I'll be on vacation in Florida or Georgia.
It's over already? It was starting to get really good.
Best of luck with the move. No one will fault you for not updating or taking some time off.
Take care! And don't worry about us, we're tough (I'm made of titanium now after all)!
This break also gives me some time to figure out how I'm going to steal my way into the story to save Grandfather! :D

Remember to rest up some when you can.
You could try doing a story about Grandfather's past or maybe one with witches.

Wave in my general direction. I'm in Florida myself but have family in Georgia!
Travel safely!
