Forlorn Son<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Two on post show Old Crown Lord\u2019s Ghost to Bosom Cohort, who looks on spook from top to bottom. Bosom Cohort knows to show Ghost to Forlorn Son. Forlorn Son dons low moods, won\u2019t show known Crown Lord props. Forlorn Son broods:<\/p>\n

\u201cO God! O God! How worlds rot! How\u2019s Pop forgot so soon? Not two months lost, no, not so, not two. So good to comfort Mom. Now \u2013 oh no! \u2013 to go from joy to sorrow. Crown Lord mocks protocol to hook control of stronghold so pronto to follow Pop\u2019s drop-off. Took Mom for consort too soon, too soon. O, Mom shows so hollow! So not cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cross Hotblood told Moon Tot not to grow too fond of Forlorn Son, for Moon Tot\u2019s born too lowbrow to show Forlorn Son how to don crowns. Top Lord told Cross Hotblood world-won words: \u201cSon, do not borrow – not from, nor to \u2013 for to do so oft shows not gold nor cohort to follow.\u201d Top Lord told Moon Tot not to grow too fond of Forlorn Son too, for boys\u2019 vows oft show too hollow. Moon Tot conforms. <\/p>\n

Bosom Cohort shows Ghost to Forlorn Son. Ghost told Forlorn Son to follow. Ghost shows Forlorn Son books of sorrow, from Ghost\u2019s own bro, Crown Lord. \u201cSon, for honor, go knock on Crown Lord\u2019s door, who took to rob Pop of crown, of growth, of consort \u2013 lost!

Forlorn Son bolts both old school cohorts. Morons. Forlorn Son shows tomb-lot to Bosom Cohort. Two Tomb-lot Clowns fool to Forlorn Son. Both show Old Fool\u2019s crown to Forlorn Son, who broods: \u201cForsooth, poor Old Fool. Known to stronghold folks, Bosom Cohort. How oft Old Fool told stronghold folks how to roll. How doom follows Old Fool now. Go to Mom\u2019s room, Old Fool, show how fools rot. Mom won\u2019t howl. Bosom Cohort, follow.
