Dedication
To my children and grandchildren, whom I love to the moon and back.

Thank you for enduring my many questions and believing in me.
Chapter 1 - Salem
Last day of high school and I’m stoked. All I’ve thought about is what I want to do all summer now that I’m eighteen. As I walk in the front door, I take in the person I’m looking for kicked back on the sofa. Hey, dude! What’s up?
Jinx ignores me; he’s been doing that a lot lately. I swear he has been replaced with an alien from another planet. We are twins, but we look and act nothing alike. I’m taller by two inches. He has green eyes, mine are blue. My hair is slightly longer. Jinx is more of a recluse, and I’m the get out there and live life type. I reach over and grab his bag of chips, and he gives me this ‘what the hell look.’
I laugh at the scowl on his face. Hey, dude, calm down I don’t want your food I just wanted your attention for a minute or two.
"Hey, Salem I didn’t hear you
