    Many questions are given answers by what Daisy has revealed. How she and Dale came to be on the island and their relationship. Now a means for the two young men and Daisy to leave the island appears to have been found. Jamie is in many ways being healed of the horrors of the island in his frolick with the orca and he has the support and love of Connor. A lovely chapter.

    Snails have a fascinating sex life. A courtship phase involving touching circling and sometimes shooting a love dart into each other. This can take up to 15 hours before consummation. Cal is encouraging Nos to take things slowly but Nos is working to an imposed time limit and must find in himself the strength of will to overcome his memories and fears. The poet Pilip Larkin " They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do.They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you."

    Chapter 25 ~ Ghost ~

    sandeman commented on Vcs's story chapter in Chapter 25 ~ Ghost ~

    It's good to know more of Jo's story. Despite the tragedy of his time in his mother's womb, Jo from birth has been gifted the love of those around him, from the caring nurses to his friends and co-workers on the ranch. A love not demanded but freely given. And freely returned. What a contrast with Shayna. A demanding piece of garbage who'll find at the end that no-one really cares a toss about her.

    Fortune favours the bold and the beautiful. Load - loads! - of deserved fun being had by our three heroes in their mating ritual - rituals.

    Great chapter, introducing Cameron to big city. Cameron and Marcus enjoy sex with each other and it was touching the way Cameron comforted Marcus when he was crying over Sean. But will Cameron, who seems to have a big appetite for life be seduced by the city and what it has to offer him? Can he resist the temptations? Will he be able to return to country life? Does Marcus want to return to the city? Or will he find a settled life with Ryan is really what he needs? So many questions to be resolved. Great story developing.

    Chapter 17

    sandeman commented on Mark Paren's story chapter in Chapter 17

    A campaign with baggage train and family into generally unknown territory is going to be slow and open to guerilla attacks, such as Marcus and Ingomar have already experienced. Varus believes in the surety of information he has received and in the invincibility of the Roman army ,and refuses advice from his battle experienced general. Marcus and Ingomar must make the most of their time together before the storm hits.

    Finis coronat opus Thank you for sharing another adventure in the amazing world of your fantastical imagination. And thank you for suggesting I read next The Vega Vixen. Quot libros, quam breve tempus.

    Should by now expect the unexpected. But how can I when the unexpected is so far ahead of the unexpected that I was expecting or should that be unexpecting that .... I'm reading this before breakfast. I'm going to have a liquid one, Angelo's followed by Cecil's followed by Angelo's. Oh my.

    Are Chihuahuas any good at giving full body massage? I'm sure Marcus would be a very Hot Dog. And Matt's defence of Simon with a folding chair seems to me brilliant. Who hasn't struggled with deck chairs and finally surrendered and just sat on the sand. As for Pip rebooting. Who hasn't in the early days of office computerisation really wanted to tell tecnical support for treating you like an idiot when they ask you is it plugged in exactly where to shove the plug. And the political party so lovingly mentioned from time to time? Im sure room could be found alongside the said plug.

    Just when I thought you had wrung every possible emotion out of me I found myself weeping with joy alongside Matt at the adoption centre. Real tears. Laughter is always bubbling up and often explosive when I read your tales, but this was - happiness. Thank you.

    We now have the Hartley family heraldic motto. Applies to them all. Older, younger and youngest. EGO TE PROTEGAM Now all that is necessary is for someone to design their shield. The obvious choice - Matt. What a thing of wonder that would be!!

    A match made in heaven for Charlie and Pip! It's a good job that Simon is on the ball keeping the family records updated, for they are becoming increasingly complicated with each addition to the family.
  14. sandeman
    Another fun filled day! And another adoptee, hopefully. The cherub needs to be removed from its cold uncaring parents and given the unconditional love of the Hartley extended family. Will this be extended to Simon's gremlin cohort?
  15. sandeman
    "I think world peace is achievable". Well not at the moment in Room 402. But Simon will colour code and organise the chaos there, probably before the troops and the heavy artillery and light cavalry ( squeaking duck floatie) arrive. Good practice for a future Gen. Sec. of the U.N.?

    What a triumvirate! Seraphic Angelus, demonic Caecilius and Lord of Chaos Matthaeus! Who shall stand (or swim ) against them!
  17. sandeman
    Way to go! Toddlerism rules! . OK?
  18. sandeman
    Well, if the gremlins are sabotaging every piece of technical equipment, then our heroes will have to find ways to defeat them other than sticking them in microwave ovens and waiting for them to explode.

    Chapter 16

    sandeman commented on Mark Paren's story chapter in Chapter 16

    A growing split among the Cherusci for and against their alliance with Rome. And for the two young men, one a Roman one a "barbarian", whose relationship has already become serious, a choice. They are rapidly reaching a crossroads and will need to choose a path. Will it be the same one? Or will they choose their "pro patria "allegiances over their relationship? This is an engrossing tale putting flesh on the bare bones of history.

    The orca is the MVP. And rightly so. I still think of the island as a magical one.
  21. sandeman
    I have all along expected the orca to help with a fitting end to the the madman Dale and his twisted designs. Now Connor and Jamie need to recuperate from the brutal beatings they have received, and investigate further just what the island is about.
  22. sandeman
    Hi-di-Hi! This is going to be a romp. Especially if Cecil continues to materialise Taine. But hopefully for Taine not when he and Tyler are " in flagrante delicto. "'

    Chapter 1

    sandeman commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Any abuse of another person is apalling. The sad thing is it often never comes to light and remains a blight on that individual's life. Abusers are bullies and need to be exposed and punished. A raw and powerful story. Bravo.

    A chapter of delight.

    Great that Frank is taking an interest in Rhett. I'm definitely in favour of their getting together and ... er, hmm ....whittling with each other?
