Excerpt from Chapter 1 of When He Was Special

I’ve just posted Chapter 22 of my Mileven fanfic, When He Was Special. That chapter puts the story at over 90,000 words and concludes Act 2. The big finale comes in Act 3.

To celebrate and also tie in to my Aesthetics posts about Mike Wheeler and Steve’s El Camino, I thought I’d post an excerpt from the beginning of When He... In it, our young hero Mike gets to drive the car of the King of Hawkins High. At least for a little bit.

When He Was Special is available in full on AO3 under the author name Constantius.

Bath, Maine – French Hill Overlook

Tuesday, July 1, 1986

Mike Wheeler had to admit that this time Steve was right. The car was awesome.

It was a majestic 1972 Chevy El Camino SS. Gleaming chrome grill and bumpers. Oversized racing tires. A monster engine that growled like an angry lion. It was painted in glorious cherry red that practically screamed, Pull me over and give me a speeding ticket. Black double racing stripes accented the hood.

The machine combined all the best features of a pony car and a pick-up truck. It was the automotive equivalent of a mullet - business in the front, party in the back.

Most awesome of all, Mike was driving.

He was fifteen years old and he had his learner’s permit and he was badass.

They crested the hill. “That’s enough, Wheeler,” Steve Harrington said from the passenger seat. “Time to pull over and hand the wheel back.”

“Come on, Steve,” Mike almost whined. “We’re nearly there! If El saw me roll up in this ride, she’d be amazed!”

“What? ‘Saw you roll up in this ride?’ Don’t try to talk street, Wheeler, you sound ridiculous. Besides, El will be amazed when she sees you just because you’re such a stud.” Mike scowled at the older boy’s teasing. Steve gestured to the side of the road. “Seriously, Wheeler. Pull over.”

Mike sighed and turned at the top of the hill. He parked at an overlook that gave a panoramic view of the town of Bath and the shining silver waters of the Kennebec River.

The cozy little New England hamlet below the overlook was home to some of the great shipbuilding yards of the world. It was also home to Mike’s friend Will Byers and the Byers family. They’d moved to Bath nine months ago to start fresh, fleeing too many bad memories and too many lost loves.

Living in Bath with the Byers was a girl named Jane Hopper or Jane Byers or Jane Ives or Eleven, depending on who you talked to. She called herself El, the name that Mike had given her. Mike loved her more than anything in the world. He hadn’t seen her for six months and now she was less than a mile away.

Breaking Bad Characters Who Can Appear In Jesse's El Camino Movie

Breaking Bad is returning with a sequel movie titled El Camino, but which established characters will be along for the ride? Reports of a Breaking Bad movie began to surface last year, but the project was typically secretive in nature, and with the Better Call Saul spinoff also in production, it wasn't easy to gauge how much truth was behind the rumors. Finally, in February 2019, the Breaking Bad movie was officially confirmed, even though many of the show's main cast had already revealed as much.

Such is the level of cloak and dagger surrounding the Breaking Bad movie, Bob Odenkirk recently claimed that the entire film had been shot in secret and, as if to confirm that story, Netflix revealed the first trailer for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie earlier this week. This short teaser sees the return of Charles Baker as Skinny Pete, an old dealer associate of Jesse Pinkman's. Under police interrogation, Pete refuses to tell the Feds anything about where Jesse could be, although he claims to have no idea anyway. With the meth lab bust all over the news and Jesse on the run, El Camino's story is neatly set up in time for the film's October release on Netflix.

After featuring in the teaser, there's a strong possibility Skinny Peter could make a further appearance in El Camino, but who else from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul might return? Taking into account their current status in the narrative and suitability for the story, here are the Breaking Bad characters who could star alongside Aaron Paul in El Camino.

Bob Odenkirk's comments regarding the Breaking Bad movie have implied that the actor has no involvement in El Camino, but it's impossible to take anything at face value and an appearance by Saul would make sense in the context of Better Call Saul. Following the breakdown of his business relationship with Walter White, Saul goes into hiding as Gene and begins working in a shopping mall Cinnabon. Better Call Saul has explored this post-Breaking Bad period in Saul's life and has teased that Saul's secret identity could be exposed at any moment

With the authorities chasing down Jesse in El Camino, the movie could continue Better Call Saul's Gene timeline and explore what happens when Saul himself gets busted. Will he team up with Jesse? Or play the law and try to negotiate in exchange for helping police catch the runaway meth cook? In either case, Saul is the strongest connecting thread running throughout the Breaking Bad franchise and El Camino may feel incomplete without him.

Walter White's family seemed to truly move on in Breaking Bad's series finale, putting the shadow of Heisenberg firmly behind them and bringing Skyler and Walt Jr.'s story to a natural conclusion. However, Skyler arguably has some unfinished business in the world of Breaking Bad. During the show's prime, Anna Gunn's character was lambasted by viewers and seen as an obstacle to Walt's drug manufacturing adventures. The Skyler hate reached fever pitch in Breaking Bad's later seasons but, once the series had come to an end, many viewers found themselves reevaluating Skyler's character and finding a new appreciation for her position.

It's fair to say that with time and analysis, fan attitudes towards Skyler have become far more positive and a return in El Camino could give Walt's long-suffering wife a glorious return, as well as an ending that's free of the irrational negativity Skyler received when Breaking Bad first aired.

Related: Better Call Saul Should End With Meeting Walter White

Where there's Skinny Pete, Badger isn't likely to be far behind. Jesse's other main drug dealer pal was a peripheral figure in Breaking Bad and mostly used as a source of comic relief, particularly when trying to figure out whether a customer was a Narc. If El Camino finds Jesse running from the law, he'll surely turn to his few remaining (alive) friends and this could signal a return for Matthew Lee Jones as Badger.

Aaron Paul mysteriously posted a Breaking Bad scene on his Twitter account, claiming it held a relevance to the forthcoming movie. The clip featured an exchange between Walt and a badly-injured Jesse, who yells at his former mentor for taking away everything and everyone that he cherished. With so few people left to turn to, Badger and Skinny Pete may know more about Jesse than the El Camino trailer lets on.

After making a deal with the Nazis who imprisoned Jesse, Walt gets revenge on Lydia by swapping her coffee sweetener with poisonous ricin and Breaking Bad's final episode shows Lydia looking distinctly unwell, clearly suffering the effects of Walt's assassination attempt. However, the audience doesn't actually see Lydia die and orally-ingested ricin isn't necessarily fatal, depending on the dosage. For all Walt knew, Lydia might've decided to cut down on the coffee during his exile and not consumed enough of the substance to die from it.

If Lydia did somehow survive Walt's ricin, she could make for a strong antagonist in El Camino, perhaps seeking revenge against Jesse or hoping to silence him and keep her name away from the police investigation. Lydia has already reappeared in Better Call Saul, so an appearance in El Camino is very much on the cards.

Breaking Bad introduced Jesse Pinkman's parents and brother at an early stage, but the trio appear sparingly, more or less vanishing in later seasons. Jesse's relationship with his family is rocky to say the least, and while his mother demonstrates some affection, Jesse's father clearly despises his eldest son with a vengeance, with the idealized middle-class family essentially seeking to ignore the existence of their drug-dealer black sheep son.

However, if El Camino is putting Jesse front and center of the story, it would make sense to dive deeper into his blood relatives and explore a side of the character that was only briefly touched upon in Breaking Bad. Jesse's family story also remains somewhat incomplete. By buying their house, Jesse did manage to gain a measure of revenge against his estranged parents, but Jesse's obvious love for his brother goes unresolved and could be a fruitful avenue for El Camino to venture down.

Huell's laid back attitude and love of money made him a cult figure in Breaking Bad and fans were rewarded when the character reappeared in Better Call Saul, helping Jimmy pull off several cons that included embarrassing his own brother at a legal hearing. Not only would a Huell cameo be a fan-pleasing moment, but viewers would also appreciate an update on Huell's life after his tenure working for Saul Goodman came to an end. Jesse, meanwhile, might have a personal score to settle with Huell after his role in the poisoning of a loved one.

Jesse becomes somewhat of a surrogate father to Brock after starting a relationship with fellow addict, Andrea, but the youngster gets caught up in Heisenberg's meth crusade and is used as a pawn to manipulate Jesse. At the end of Breaking Bad, Brock's fate is unknown, but his mother is tragically murdered by Todd (affectionately known as Meth Damon) in Breaking Bad's final season as a punishment for an escape attempt.

The final time viewers see Jesse, he's speeding away from the Nazis' base and, knowing that he was somewhat responsible for causing Andrea's death, one of Jesse's priorities upon gaining freedom would surely be to check in on Brock, possibly even caring for him if no one else was there to do so. As such, Brock could be an important figure in El Camino. One stumbling block, however, is that the movie appears to be set only a short time after Breaking Bad, while the young actor who played Brock would've aged 6 years.

Related: Did Walter White Really Die? Why Fans Still Debate Breaking Bad's Ending

Aside from characters who are still alive within the world of Breaking Bad, it's possible that a selection of deceased figures could also make a return in some capacity, with Krysten Ritter's Jane Margolis one of the first names that comes to mind. Jane was Jesse's partner during Breaking Bad's second season, but the pair's love of drugs soon dominated their relationship. Jane died after an overdose, with Walt passively watching on as she struggled and choked.

Jane's death had a profound impact on Jesse and after escaping his imprisonment, he's unlikely to be in a sound mental state, which could allow for hallucinations and visions of killed-off characters. Ritter has been widely rumored to be appearing in El Camino since the movie was first mentioned in 2018 and the actress remains linked to the project even following the official title reveal.

He may have died in the series finale, but can there be Breaking Bad without Walter White? As with Jane, any appearance by Walt would surely arrive in the form of a flashback, hallucination or dream sequence, but audiences would no doubt be grateful just to witness Bryan Cranston returning to his most famous character. While it's clear that El Camino will focus on Jesse, the pairing of Cranston and Pinkman was arguably the soul of Breaking Bad and an exchange between them, even an imaginary one, could prove a standout moment of the new movie.

As for Cranston, the actor has previously expressed a desire to appear in any proposed Breaking Bad movie, but has remained coy on whether or not that wish would become a reality. Thus far at least, any role for Walter White in El Camino remains firmly under wraps.

El Camino con mi hijo menor - 2019

February

24th.

Two anxious, apprehensive (for different reasons) but exited lads woke up this morning. The first day, of what we hoped would be, an epic experience that would include a flight to Bordeaux and a train journey to St. Jean Pied De Port, the starting point of the “classic” Camino Francés.

Our day started with a much appreciated, early morning visit from Davy Diskin. His help in organizing my “sim card less” phone and Stevie’s backpack was great, while the new P-SJ’s wooly hats he gave us are brill and will be worn with pride.

We were then the recipients of a lift, in Jane Forrester’s new all electric BMW, to the airport. Thank’s Jane for the lift and my first journey in an electric car, I was very impressed.

Arrived in Bordeaux with time to watch the Italy V Ireland match in Sweeney Todd’s (whupp’s) before taking the train to the official starting venue, St. Jean Pied De Porte.

25th.

After our last night of so called luxury for a month or so, off we headed to the “Pilgrim Office” to get our “Credential”. This is the document that you must have to be allowed sleep in the public hostels and which you must have stamped in each location along the “Camino” in order to collect your certificate of completion in Santiago.

Unfortunately the Pilgrim Office informed us that the “Col de Napoleon” route over the Pyrenees was closed due to snow and the obvious hazards it entails. The very nice man told us about the other routes available and that the authorities, on both sides of the border had decided to close the Pass from November 1 to April 1, for the foreseeable future, as eight people had died of exposure last year. So we chose the green route option and set off on our adventure.

Well our chosen option turned out to be a mixture of walking on small country roads, the busier national road and lovely riverside lanes, which unfortunately had many steep elevations and descents. So as the walk, including elevation allowance, totalled 28.7 kms., it was two very tired Diskin’s who arrived in Roncesvalles. Having checked into the hostel run by the monastery and been given our bunk numbers we retired to shower and rest etc. with the other 15 “pilgrim’s” in a room measuring 8 X 4.5M. We quickly got to know our roommates and as we had all signed up for the “Pilgrim Menu” provided in an adjacent restaurant by the hostel, we had thoroughly enjoyable evening despite there being 9 different nationalities at the table. These nights are a great part of the “Camino Experience” as many of these people are going to Santiago and we will meet most of them in various hostels along the route.

26th.

After the 06.30 wake up call, the first of 33 or so repacks of the backpack had to be undertaken, no easy feat in a busy dorm. Then over to the restaurant for breakfast. This second day is a 21.8 km in John Brierley's guide book but with a view to spending 3 hours sightseeing in Pamplona the day after, we added a further 6 km, making it the second 28 KM day in a row.

"The Wandering Song" Central American Writing in the United States, prelude by Leticia Hernández-Linares

The Wandering Song: Central American Writing in the United States, Tia Chucha Press, 2017 (Northwestern University Press distributor)

Prelude by Leticia Hernández-Linares LA MISIóN, SAN FRANCISCO November 28, 2016

HOME WAS BEHIND US, always somewhere else. Born into 1970s Los Angeles, a few months after my parents arrived in the United States, I experienced El Salvador as a distant place we referred to as “back home.” Civil war disappeared the pos- sibility of return, and yet, my parents’ country transplanted itself within the walls of this other home, colored our beans, determined our verb conjugations and our difference. “Back home” shadowed our lives here; my parents baptized me en la Parroquía Sagrada Familia, the church in my father’s neigh- borhood, la Colonia Centroamérica, and thanks to his uncen- sored storytelling, I am aware that my conception occurred at la Playa San Diego, La Libertad. Most of my family re- mained in El Salvador and we called them on rotary phones, often communicating through static-filled calls with delays that underscored the vast space between us.

I developed a deep bond with “back home,” despite the distance and thanks to the thick thread of my father’s stories. Donning the folkloric dresses my grandmother would send north, I would put on shows for family and friends, making up the steps no one taught me. My father, bass player for Los Lovers, a bilingual Salvadoran band, and my mother who cro- cheted and did ceramics taught me who I was through mem- ory, lyrics, and handmade things. As I came of age, textured stories wrapped me tight in a web of nostalgia and wander- ing, all despite my privileged place of birth.

Home was behind us, always somewhere else. The only other place my family and I traveled, other than back home, was the Mission District of San Francisco, the Central Amer- ican heart of the Bay Area; the trip, the soundtrack––the very road itself––were equally important parts of the experience. As a twenty-something, I returned to the Mission. I came following in the footsteps of an uncle who taught me how to heal and how to own the indigenous and the migrant in my blood. I came here in pilgrim- age to be part of a thriving community of artists and writers, and have lived on the same block since 1995. Ironically, during the last year, my poet- husband Tomás, our two sons, and I have been fighting an eviction from our home. We have lived under an expiration date on how long we can stay in this community of neighbors, murals, action, and convivencia—at least that’s what it was once. Only the latest victims in a terrible epidemic of displace- ment by eviction or by fire, we live with a sense of impending exile from this, my longest, and our sons’ only home.

WRITERS OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN DIASPORA have occupiedhaky literary and historical ground ––until now. For so many years the voices in this book have, largely unbeknownst to one another, hummed the melody of a wander- ing song. My co-editors, Rubén Martínez, Héctor Tobar, and I present a chorus of writers, artists, and performers who unequivocally answer a critical question: yes, there really is a Central American Literature and it includes a complex, bilingual, and multinational space. This book offers a literary soundtrack where there was mostly silence, and assembles a spine that can withstand the telling of who we are in this country.

In his study, La Lengua Salvadoreña, Pedro Geoffrey Rivas reflects on the importance of tracing the geography of language, and how “el mundo  es el lugar donde uno vive lo que se ha dicho y queda escrito… adónde uno habla. Donde está la voz o su ausencia.  La voz es el mundo.” (“The world is the place where one lives what has been said and remains written… where one speaks. Where the voice is, or its absence. The voice is the world.”)

Rivas writes of how inscription makes and unmakes place, and claims that his study, a tribute to homeland, will only capture the Salvadoran voice of a certain time because language is ever-changing with place. The earth is not the only part of our landscape that moves. We compile and present all these words here, in this time and place, without proposing to define or limit what Central American Literature is or will be. Rather, we offer a significant piece of a much larger picture.

The various stages of Central American immigration to the United States have largely emerged from situations of extreme violence and poverty. While movement and presence can be traced to the 1950s and 1960s, war and its long devastating aftermath in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua was the principal impetus for immigration patterns in the 1970s and 1980s. Frequent earthquakes, hurricanes, the importation of gang violence from the U.S., and ongoing economic instability continue to push our gente to make the journey.

During the last few years, “surges” of unaccompanied children arriving in the U.S. provoked renewed attention. Now more than four million Central Americans reside in the United States, and no less than two of our home countries in the so-called Northern Triangle of Central America are consid- ered the most dangerous in the world. We are immigrant and refugee, first, second, and even third generation.

This book enables us to retrace our steps and chart the unincorporated territory of our stories.

We hope that you, Chapín in Los Angeles, Guanaca in D.C., Nicoya in San Francisco, Panameño in New York will feel at home in these pages and invite friends to take the journey with you. In the first section, El Camino Largo, we travel back and forth in time and between here and there, rendering different aspects of the journey that forms the foundation of our community and this anthology. In En La Voz Alta, poets and performers string together voices and pieces of language to craft terms to define themselves. While spo- ken word and performance writers appear throughout the book, this section privileges the act of storytelling and community engagement as a substantive part of our literary craft. In La Poesía de Todos, we feature work that bridges a multiplicity of themes and genres, leaving the path ahead, beyond this book, open.

Ultimately, The Wandering Song: Central American Writing in the United States embodies our canto popular. This Tía Chucha Press anthology demon- strates how we continue to shift the map, what no amount of anti-immigrant sentiment and xenophobic backlash will erase. As Rubén Darío implied in the poem this book is named after, we offer salve through our singing, and we hope you will sing along—loudly, y con ganas.

The Editors: Leticia Hernández Linares, author of Mucha Muchacha – Too Much Girl and three times San Francisco Arts Commission Individual Artist Grantee. Rubén Martinez, the son and grandson of immigrants from El Salvador and Mexico is a writer, performer, and professor of literature and writing at Loyla Marymount University. Héctor Tobar is a novelist and journalist, the author of four books, and the Los Angeles-born son of Guatemalan immigrants

Tia Chucha Press began in 1989 with the publication of Luis J. Rodriguez’s first book, the 19-poem collection “Poems Across the Pavement,” designed by Jane Brunette of Menominee/German/French descent, who has remained as TCP designer ever since. With Jane’s artistic skills for covers and inside pages, and Luis as founding editor, the press began publishing the best collections of the thriving Chicago poetry scene – home of the Poetry Slams – featuring poets such as Patricia Smith, David Hernandez, Michael Warr, Lisa Buscani, Tony Fitzpatrick, Cin Salach, Carlos Cumpian, Elizabeth Alexander, and more.
