Whether the expectations of the readers or you as the author are met, enjoyable, rewarding, etc., can only be measured by the response it gives you and/or brings from your readers. Whether the responses today may have been less numerous or less positive than you had hoped, is still the best vote and reward that your talents have brought us ALL here…after three books, so I’d say that’s a big vote of worthiness. Likewise, the ole King Who Wore No Clothes is the best analogy I think to remind you of; without honest (hopefully respectful or at least not brash) comments you’d never get what so many authors seek with the “post as you go” writing; otherwise, why not post and forget? Conversely, false smiles or fake comments leave you climbing upon the Dias without any clothes. So take the comments as nothing more than opinion or review…but it’s a whole lot better than no followers or no comments. At the end of it all, it’s your story, but your total followers and the total story comments your story has says you are up to the task.

Oh my, the excitement of seeing this chapter post has turned to a ride much like a car sliding not of control. Poor Vinsy has been raped of much of his existence. Please tell me Terik penned this draft and the real version is about to post with the tease acknowledgment plain to see.

Hey, do you have a cat costume? Oh, so hot 🥵

Hmmm 🤔, whose the Queen of this Pride? Hahaha 🤪 Or is it more of paying homage to the Cock(s)? The Pride Of The Cock…., the double meaning of pride, both applicable to this collection of friends. The membership of this pride is exclusive, but the price of membership may be as simple as respect, loyalty, and love. But to which member does the membership gather? The leader of the Pride is generally the Queen, while traditionally cocks are the more colorful of the sexes and full of courtship rituals, but also the most territorial and ruling…most often solitary. Despite the number of cocks gathered, this group is highly social, interdependent, but mutually supportive. The rotating leadership is loosely like the hunting groups of a pride…that then return to the pride for meals and security. An interesting twist of the Pride.

But mommy, I want to ride the Velociraptor with Jimmy. Jimmy, it’s my turn to sit on his head. Make a picture when I pull his ears, mommy…it looks like he’s smiling.

Goodness, even as Karl hated to leave his family, he boarded his first voyage and the water adventures that seem to haunt young Karl began. His time in the Royal Air Force is quickly being matched by time on sea adventures. Then thinking of the dreams where he’s on the water again. What and how Karl seems to find these people with only a few degrees of separation is amazing but it’s not his own; not his English family and friends, his comrades in arms, or his home land family and friends…time is still on his side for now though.

I’ve enjoyed the introduction and follow through of the different gods, it has been a long storyline thread, with a consistent element that they have devine rules and limitations; which is a great reflection on the ole “everyone has a boss” reality check. Vinsy has always battled to stay more pure while still standing up to his bullies. However, the unexpected execution of the challenging Alpha won Vinnie prestige, land, and …a guilty sense of WHY? So this build up to the battle has tested Vinsy and yet he still feels reserve against murder as punishment for the power hungry and greedy murderer. Enter the godly debate that has been in play for a long while, so I think everyone would foresee a possible coached intervention; after all, the godly visits were not direct concern for Vinnie personally, but for the veil and humanity as a whole. Vinnie just made it easy to support as he has character and ethics as references to his worthiness. I certainly don’t see this as a last minute ass pull twist of infinite mortality for Vinsy, but hopefully a godly ass kicking and an ultimate neutering of Stefan and his magic…any magic remaining should comply with the grants expected of the Goddess of Mischief. I don’t mean to challenge your intelligence or insult you, this storyline has been long and the unique aspect of the writer’s manuscript and edits make it easy to remember many aspects without some reflection.y as I certainly find myself reviewing many aspects myself. Many chapters ago the goddess cautioned of the limitations she has, yet this chapter pays respect to that thought with a difficult debate and more resolve to follow the rules…and any loopholes are still honorable for the gods and for Vinsy as he may share the solution while respecting his own resolve to not kill Stefan. Touche to @astone2292for the full circle(s) ⭕️ ⭕️ ⭕️ of the godly storylines in this wonderful tale of supernatural, shared mind and character shifters.

I live in Orlando, but have family in Naples and Ft Myers. Luckily everyone and all structures are fine; thousands for tree and yard clean up and the pool cages are all likely to need replacement before the frogs and skeeters take over…but everyone is alive and the rest gets reflects life in the southeast. I’m so glad you’re ok as well, all my best on the recovery ❤️‍🩹.

Like a Pinball machine on max play…zap, slap, bank shot, ricochet, bat to reset/repeat.

No, she would make him mimic a Loony Toons character whose spells are the equivalent to the gun that shoots the “bang” flag or his throwing flame 🔥 is like a match being shaken to extinguish, A smirk that makes his nose drip and his lightning zaps himself….all the best for Stefan, Grand Wizard of the Shadow Mages is Slow Motion Shadow hopping that can only return him to the starting point…A phase in and out sort of thing. 🤪

Real Men Don’t Sing Opera?

A plan to protect Jonathan, but I believe it is to allow the guilty parties to hang/discredit themselves…extra, extra, read all about it!

Huh? Lmao 😂, this reminded me of my very early, young age, understanding of baseball…so like a cat 🐱 the game has nine life’s called endings…but each team had their own turn at their endings…so the game was truly the same as waiting 18 lifes! So yes, sex is much quicker and much more fun! Hahahaha ….and there may be praises to God but no life is lost!

I’m hoping the husband/wife team as parents noticed the evidence of Jack/Jake the mechanic’s assault and Devlin’s discret move; perhaps a personal welcome revealed the cottage vacated by Devlin. Devlin’s luck would be that the mechanic is a brother or uncle that resents the true owners for family reasons, but likewise, they keep him there out of a sense of obligation to family. No doubt Jack is an asshole and a criminal with his assault on Devlin. Assault is no small crime and once committed the repeat offenses come freely and often.

I understand where many of the comments are coming from, but I pull upon the introduction where Devlin was suffering possible physical and/or mental trauma from his loss of family and bullying. Notably the bullying went unreported and was exacerbated by Devlin not wanting to disclose his losses. I’m no psychologist but Devlin seems to be blaming himself or possibly suffering insecurity of attachment for fear of more loss…or that his mind believes he deserves no more than his past. Yes, Devlin could also be suffering more health issues due to the crash/accident, but the decisions leading up to that moment at the RR crossing were simply his past and his health prior to the train mishap….Devlin needs help, but he also needs support until the help gets him in a better place. His current thinking and actions are putting him at risk, as not every person will render aide without also taking advantage…if aide is even considered. He could have still been trapped in his old vehicle without anyone seeing it and no one knowing where to look for him or how to locate. 🤦‍♂️ This is a sad state to witness…even in fiction.

Wow, Krista, you’ve ventured artfully into the spirit realm with the added mystery of the supernatural lurking about. This is a wonderful tale so far and this departure from the traditional modern setting suits you well. With the skills that you normally craft your characters, I look forward to following this tale and the non-traditional relationship I sense brewing.

Hmmm, death seems to be a prefect temporal time-lapse opportunity for some god gifted healing ❤️‍🩹 , and Devine council (another stripe?), with godly…., not aid…but coaching or some helpful instruction for unlocking Vinsy’s new gift or a gift not yet of his awareness. Could it be a show of life redemption with a godly gift of a saintly visit from Yakob? A saintly last lesson or gift from the redeemed monk? The reflection of choice for humanity’s future may already have been an unlocking test of worthiness for Vinsy, love and loyalty may be key too as yet another value, and now the personal sacrifice and resolve to not let this scourge of the world go unchecked. So many paths, so many possibilities to consider….AS WE FREE FALL FROM THIS FRICKING CLIFF WE RAN OFF OF IN OUR BLIND PURSUIT FOR ANSWERS @astone2292….or should it be @assone? Hahaha, the evil one 👿.

Cocksuckers…the lot of them. Well except the cock kissers, but that’s closer to kink than regular cocksuckers! Hahaha

For our next installment, we may introduce a recipe for Scalloped Kardoval; enjoy this alien meat dish simmered in a sinful fermented tuber milk; a delightful dish of sweet revenge.

The claws stay sharp, with alien technology far exceeding the ceramic blades of earthly past. Order now to receive your very own today. Commercial fades from the bloody gurgling mess on the floor….

Singing in the Rain? Oh my, dance lessons too? 😛

Thank you very much, I’m so glad it made you smile. Thank you for your wonderful stories, and colorful characters; that make me feel a sense of rhythm and merriment, with many counters of mystery and mischief. lol 😝

Amazing how non-aristocratic college kids, and their son’s upstanding love interest, can suddenly spark a silver-anniversary booty call in the home office. Yup, remove those tightly woven cobwebs and live again! Hahaha 🤣
