As a parent, we sometimes still want to live vicariously through our children and grandchildren; It is somewhat normal as history and lineage were inherited throughout human existence. So even a gay friendly parent may seemingly oppose the gay child when in reality they are resisting the notion that their long lived expectations no longer fit this scenario. Once the newness wears off and the expectations are modified they may still be strong supporters; major shifts in long lived assumptions can be hard to accept when changed. Throw them curveballs, marry the straight high school dropout or the gay neurosurgeon? Hahaha 🤪 More seriously though, many stereotypes and expectations are just a matter of odds in populace (statistics). We are all guilty of making assumptions to some degree; speaking with healthy self confidence and with respectful conviction when misrepresented is reassuring. Not all families remain close….even in absence of the surprising gay announcements. While we are all self conscious and wanting acceptance, often expectations can spoil our hopes…wrong school, wrong degree, wrong job, wrong location, wrong partner, wrong time for kids, etc, etc, human social dynamics are a mixed bag when dealing with families and friends; friends change, claimed family too, but blood always seems to find claim.

Oh, I trust nothing to the cloud; I was strictly referring to ditching the big laptop for the data compressed on flash drives or a removable hard drive that can then easily fit in fake book, flashlight, etc,…almost anything compact. Even a fake key on a key ring can now hold an amazing amount of data.

Of course, that’s what I typed…. twice then finally corrected! Thanks for letting me know .

Well that would seal the deal! lol 😝

Who needs the laptop when the data it contains can be easily captured on devices and means that make moving it near impossible to track; any access unique to the laptop is likely long since blocked, but links are also easily captured for backup, copying, or routine recovery. I would like the smart thing the parents may have done was to remove the drive and/or create recovery drive(s) and then wiped the internal drive(s).

Hmmm 🤔, you’re only admitting to two dimensions…Yet you play in a house of mirrors in the 4th dimension.

What’s wrong with that? I heard Kage makes killer eggs! 👿

Wow, lots of action with even more layers of mystery, and the ever building intrigue; all so nicely dovetailed to book 1, Spirit Wolves. This chapter brings the Hybrid Journey to great new heights in my opinion, this, from an all new angle; exciting for sure. I’m not sure the physical and emotional ties between the young shifter and the man of shadows can be explained by the commonality of shifters at all. It’s more significant, it seems like they have the same destined attractions as the wolves have their true mates. Are both so new or unfamiliar with destined mates? Or, are the shifter people predisposed to some unique but strong shifter pheromones? (Survival of the species?) Ty seems to be sure he is Elijah’s best friend and his brother; with that same strong brotherly love and protectiveness of family. Yet, I suspect his exposure to this supernatural world is about to rock his world too. He is already aware, already exposed to shape shifters, and now knows the full story of the Spirit Wolves and the others shifters. Ty already has his foot in the door to another world…, where will this human protector to fit? Hopefully, he finds a spot to support his brother, Elijah, without putting himself or others at risk.

I missed this post, so I guess I don’t have as long to wait for the next! 😝 I’m thinking @Salanderwas been listening to Blurred Lines for scribing the characters in this story; hmmm 🤔, while some may not feel limitations to their attraction, there is always a risk to being accepted; that remains the same for heterosexual and homosexual attractions, the problems become more complicated by being exposed in the presence of those attracted to or that we know are attracted to us. It’s strange that human nature can take the roles of modesty and flip them with one little emotion…attraction. Society and human nature will forever be evolving like dressing styles on this issue; too much, not enough, …but if it’s the right person, it is always acceptable. 😝 Unfortunately the horrible stories of violence against homosexual attractions is not yet a thing of history alone, but I see a lot less sensitivity to being approached than years past. Likewise, the more sensitive approach to the opposite sex also requires more than a pinch on the ass and the responding slap when unwelcomed. So much has changed in social aspects of showing interest. The ole wolf whistle for a sexy lady (or hot guys even) may still bring smiles to some, too many are conditioned to think a public compliment turns someone into a prostitute…the ole argument of dressing flirty is sexual so to show a compliment or appreciation is no more sexual than that. Just ask any guy that’s scanned head to toe with a simple seductive “well what do we have here” comment, …should we run from the sexist? Hahaha , I’m not! 🤪 I digress…great progress in the chapter. ALSO, HANG THE GUILTY BASTARD AMOS, BRING NIC AND HIS MOM, SO THAT AMOS MAY SEE INTO HIS VICTIMS EYES AS HE GOES DOWN AS CHARGED, AND MOM REEVALUATES HER OBLIGATIONS TO HER CHILDREN.

hmmm 🧐 getting all Sgt Aaron Schultz on us ehh?

Friends close, enemies closer?

Where is the smh 🤦‍♂️ emoji for comment opinions? Your evil plotting is going to melt your keyboard buttons…or freeze your app to burn your battery; such unfavorable characteristics, … for your ethical characters.

Sheila, I just figured you had done a visit, real or virtual, around Australia.

That’s kinda like tax season!

Ahhh, a child created in the parent’s image and imagination… how could he not be your favorite? 😻 Mini-me improved!

Well you were thinking “make him as he was” …. But what timeline?

Yes, war is heartbreaking in itself, but so too is conceding self determination and freedoms. George is upset, he’s scared, he’s been here before…. George’s personal history makes him very insecure and untrusting, therefore, selfish as he internalizes his needs over others. It’s a complicated matter with his history making him function at adolescent levels when he loses control. He was doing so well, …and then the insecure monster resurfaced; George, please get more help to put your demons in a very secure box. 😭

Goodness, you went into hiding, but you certainly came back to give Ramon the Superman fist. So sad that Marcos never stopped to question his family, but a guy should be able to trust his family…unless they’re snakes. All but James and Marcos (and maybe Tony, but he keeps bad company) seems to be slithering snakes

A meeting of equals, out of balance, Leading Alec, to issue a challenge. Embraced by Herk, his master scented, Calls ignored, master plays resented. A new balance, they’re together again, Nothing final, nothing more sane. Dog knows good, Alec be true,… Finn mate him, sleep with him too. Is he family, will he sleep here more, No, don’t go, just close that door. No one has had my heart, stay with me, Love you Babe, please let this be. Only you and me babe, …well Herk too, Visit no more, I want to be with you. Everyone knows, this should be us, + Herk loves you too, that traitorous cuss! @demiurge, thank you for this growth chapter; heartwarming and hopeful!

But what great packaging!

Omg, that’s probably me! I spent some time in Lucerne as a 18yo and have fond teen memories and a strong affinity for that beautiful city. After Easter in Zurich, cracking eggs 🥚 in the challenge/counter-challenge game of skill and chance, we departed Zurich for Lucerne, with a yacht cruise on Lake Lucerne…I digress… Thanks for flagging that for me, and for that tangible mythos relationship with light! Trust me, the little differences are somewhat larger when it’s personal…my example is Phillippe vs Philippe, it happens quite frequent in the US. I’ll try my best 🤦‍♂️ not to let that slip back into my references to Lucere! Thanks too, for the other discussions and relationships, as the many stories within the story sometimes makes it a challenge to remember who’s on first! 😝 (over simplifying, but the comedy of confusion is somewhat relative as one finds a review is once again warranted).

I can only hope that most enjoy as the standard tends toward no comment. But I post these mostly for people to enjoy my quirky interpretations and perhaps to help more people find and enjoy the inspiring stories these words somewhat …review? 🤔 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for your words, your story, and your encouragement.

Hahaha 🤣, it was a Rusty inspired moment; trying to remember that these boys are roommates in the college setting. Roommates, friends, family; with all the quirks that families bring. I could not personally accept the stranger mentality of some student roommates; be a part or be gone, as youth requires mutual support and socialization…therefore, the Rusty factor. It may not ever have a schedule but it was definitely an event! 😂 I’m still friends and contact the ole roommates from time to time. Good times when enjoyed with hindsight.

Delta apologizes, To Vinsy’s surprise. Fancy pantsies, Necks adorned with ties. Buses of Alphas, Testosterone concentrate. A jump to the shadows, Stacy did rate. The Head Beta bid greetings, With markings to bare. McAlpha defines with new meanings, Giving protocols for mate of Beta’s Bear. Arriving with the beat of helicopter blades, Then landing in the flash of lightning bolts. The Panda is not of shadow

Much of the earth’s military space forces were annihilated under civilian command, in that foolhardy and arrogant attack on the aliens (book 2). Now the aliens have brought their battle to Earth, against that significantly reducted cache of assets. The planet’s defensive forces have taken a real beating, with First Fleet decimated, while other resources hold on…but under tremendous pressure, and now the strategic alien strike has reduced communications to pipeline styled relaying of messages. Hartley was left with his hijacked Shay DNA allowing Aqumi node access on Lucerne, while back on Earth our secreted away Mishith blessed guest has just been declared before a double agent. Shay and Dagen’s Blood are still incomplete in their quest to rejoin the Mishith Blood and Stone, as the once destroyed Herald has reconstituted in an improved makeover version of itself. With hardly a chance to transport the others to safety, our Mishith blessed warriors are in a battle to the death with this killing destroyer. The battling opportunist of Earth have hardly acknowledged that the only sain choice is to unify and coordinate resources against this conquering alien force…ahem…this genocidal cleansing force. The storyline complexities and character development have us pulled in all directions, all the while hopeful that our emotional attachment to these many colorful characters will somehow gain them strength in this Armageddon battle for the survival of humanity. @Stellar, THANK YOU. I’m still so amazed by all your stories’ complexities, development, and the excitement that you craft; while giving us characters that are irresistible to love and embrace. I do look so forward to another installment in the journey of Shay, his Miracle, Konstantin, (and Liberty..lol), and all the characters that support them in this amazing series. Please, please, please, keep the presses rolling!
