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.

GF recognizes smart when he sees it, obviously. But why would anybody want to throw Gwen under a bus? Did I miss something? If he said it that to the idjit I could understand, sort of...
to Darren-from-2-days-back: Yes I did, and i made the same lame joke :) Thrilling experience, even though the ice was so thin you could punch a hole in it from below.
They really need to ask him (just theoretically of course) what proof would he require to believe their story 100%, or at least what proof would mean that no other explanation would fit the evidence.
Alternatively if they can invalidate the prosecution's case they should be able to get it thrown out without having to prove what did happen.
Welcome, Thavieus! I agree: they don't have to prove the mummy, they just have to refute the prosecutor's case.
@Scubadude: "Throw s.o under a bus" is a colloquialism that means the same thing as "throw s.o to the wolves," i.e. abandon someone to their fate in order to save yourself (like those T-shirts: "warning: when the zombies attack, I'm tripping you!")
On this post: well, I guess that blows my demon theory out. Gwen is still awesome. That is all.
If Peter does end up going to juvie, will Dark Peter emerge and end up running the show by the time six months are up? Will he return to fighting monsters with an improvised shiv?
Nice touch about Grandfather not remembering the last time he used the main dining hall. Added a lot of depth to the scene, for me at least.

@Um the Muse: Thank you, that clears things up a bit. Being dutch I sometimes find myself at a slight disadvantage; I just took the literal meaning of the expression.

Haha - like Um says, 'throwing someone under the bus' means sacrificing them to save yourself. It usually implies betrayal, as well.
Cool, you're from the Netherlands? Awesome! Hey, any other fans out there outside of America and England?
Thavieus -
What up, Thavieus!
However, come on. The prosecutor has the kids in the museum, gun in hand, and they admit to $3 million of vandalism. The only problem is they're blaming it on a mummy.
If people could get off by blaming stuff on mythological creatures, EVERYBODY could get acquitted. "Why did I shoot him in the head, Your Honor? Why, I was merely aiming at the demon coming out of his skull! What? You want me to prove there was a demon? You prove there WASN'T a demon!"
I already tried that one in court last year. Didn't work.
Um the Muse -
See above re: the prosecutor's case.
True, Gwen is still awesome.
Rubberduck -
I had not considered Dark Peter in juvie.
That could be EPIC.
You asked: "Hey, any other fans out there outside of America and England?"
I'm in Canada, for whatever that's worth.
Also, currently catching up on a month's worth of updates, since the Livejournal feed had stopped updating for some reason.
WV: kohings: a Swiss German colloqualism for small household objects that always seem to go missing of their own accord.
