  1. Great Uncle Edwin reminds me of my great uncle Herbert. A pious church going man, who taught at a ‘Christian’ college. He could be and was at the best of times insufferable. And with his roving eye, it was a wonder how he managed to fool many. It was while on a church mission to Manila, that all the Filipino houseboys were changed out at his mother-in-laws insistence….
  2. All I got is Natasha is For herself...

    Chapter 16

    Such an innocuous word....Clarity...one that insidiously corrupts the souls...as to whom does clarity belong?
  4. Thank you for this, and leaving the possibility of furthering the story. Just as importantly, publishing this as a completed story. So many great authors start to post before the story is completed, and then get lost...leaving us with an unfinished work.
  5. Normally, this would have been a story I would have walked away from, until I gave the first chapter a chance, and got hooked, as you will see by my comments. There is a richness and depth to all who populate this story that leaves you wanting more. And for me, the scene in "The Nail" was one of the best parts of this story, and where I fell in love with Mack and Mills. I can't wait for the next installment!
  6. Hopefully not in the bathroom… He wasn’t expecting an answer, but got one anyway. “I’ll help you.”

    Chapter 2: Kai

    This sort of reminds me of the TV show, Lost. If any polar bears show up, I’m gonna take a hike…🤔
  8. Well, how they get out of this predicament will be interesting….
  9. Niran, if I had to go out in left field and guess, is in need of a large amount of money…most likely as he’s managed to mess up his own funding, owes a gambling debt, or bad investments….or any combination above!!

    Chapter 2

    Kinda sums it up… Then why are we having a vote?" "Because you are attempting to distribute responsibility for a difficult decision. This is a common psychological mechanism. Humans engage in it frequently. It is called 'covering your ass.
  11. Wouldn’t touch that comment…even with a @weinerdog…..
  12. I have to believe that there are further twists to come…And so glad Sneath gets his just desserts…

    Chapter 15

    Two troubled souls with the consequences of choice resting on their shoulders, yet both are lost, knowingly and unknowingly.
  14. A cathartic meeting and a sweet release, and hopefully a sign of better times to come...I don't think Griff's visit will be acrimonious, but a meeting of the minds and clearing the air in a healthy manner!
  15. And we know from previous comments it ain’t tucked behind your bra either…
  16. A new world that Jake can make himself out of a realm of possibilities…
  17. Drinking and guns, a terrible combination….

    The Staying

    A very powerful, positive thought... “I was actually going to ask you something.” He turned fully toward me, attention settling without pressure. “Would you… want to come stay over again tonight?” I asked, choosing the words the way someone chooses stones to cross a river, carefully and aware of the current beneath them.
  19. And the hits just keep on coming!!! I am looking forward to the Secret Author, and we get the deets on Thursday...like my parents' old coffee pot, ideas are starting to percolate... looking forward to reading the entries!!!

    Chapter 14

    This was a powerful emotional chapter that hit, the understated need we all feel….to simply matter… “Yes,” Cianán said. “Not of the fading itself. I have watched it happen enough times to understand it. It is not like dying, not the way your people die. It is more like a fire burning down very slowly to embers. There is warmth at the end. There is no pain.” He paused. “What I was afraid of was fading without having mattered to anyone. Leaving the world without anyone knowing I had been in it.” He turned to look at Aiden directly. “Airmed knew. But Airmed was gone. After her I began to think that was how it would end for me. Quietly. Without witness.”

    Chapter 12

    This should be good, they aren’t alone and hopefully when this is over the sow and her friends ‘dispose’ of the evidence… The only way to settle the account is to let them think they’re on to you. Static and the team are moving into position now. We’re going to give Vane’s men a target they think they can hit, and when they commit to the extraction, we’re going to close the book on them and then the problem itself

    Chapter 1

    Will there be enough socks for everyone?

    Chapter 1

    So…not just the shower then…are we sure it wasn’t sentient? The thing under your bunk is a pair of underwear from approximately the previous century. I already threw it away. Along with the tube sock that I’m pretty sure was pregnant."

    Prologue

    Nope, not ever, nada, ain’t going that way….sure… Mickey stared at the boy. He had a slim build and face, with dark eyes and an earnest open expression. Stupid brown hair, short, and slightly tousled. Stupid big hands, and big ears, and not at all feminine and curvy like Mickey typically married. Nope, that and the dangly big between the legs that Mickey was definitely not interested in, well aside from random dreams that he swore he’d never had. And this one time, in school…
