To be 19 and captive to one's hormones...forever....

And shortly, Pitt will find himself off to Antigua with a restless batch of prisoners. Hopefuly they will be secured. I find the letters simply fascinating!!

I simply can't add to the comments above, articulated so much better than I could attempt. We do see multiple threads of this new tapestry starting to form the picture of this story, reflecting the pain, sorrow, and the hope for what could be. The following nearly broke me, so much was said in that one sentence. The imaging just so uniquely powerful... In a startling moment of clarity, Chantel realized she didn’t know how to live any other life. She had been distancing herself from her boys – her reason for living – because she knew she couldn’t give them anything beyond the chains they received at birth.

With all that has happened, I don't see Sam staying. The constant reminder of painful memories might be unbearable...

How much of that courage was liquid???

I had someone like Matt for what I would call a brief moment, a month, if I remember correctly. His father owned one of the largest construction companies in our state...we met at a gentlemen's bar, properly introduced ourselves in the back of my 67 volvo station wagon that night. He was so deeply in the closet it was painful to watch.... Great story, boy, did it bring back some memories..

And some Munchkins too????

Can't add much to what has been said, this was very well done and thanks!

Know your trash and discards...Hortensia is a force of nature!!! Why do I get the feeling that Gray's life/career is about to grow exponentially!!!

I'll go with the following... Kill the mage Enga. Kill the mage.

Never had to use this stuff either, nope, nada, not at all...looking over my shoulder for the lightning bolt....

All one needs to know about Alan is encapsulated in the following...I miss Jordan.... “Of course it does, Alan. We have become friends. I like you and I like spending time with you. We’ve got a pretty good home here. But, we aren’t lovers, right? There’s no forever here.” He stared at me for a few seconds. “I don’t know, Cal. You’re the one I spend all my time with. We share a home and a bed most nights. You’re the only person I’m intimate with.” “Really, Alan? You haven’t been with anyone else?” “Well, Brandi, but didn’t we agree that doesn’t count anymore? I was just reacting to you going out with Jordan.” “So, if I go out with Brady, will you need to find someone to be with?” “Maybe. Will you stay here with me if you date him? Will you still have sex with me? Are you going to blow up the great thing we have going?” His voice cracked a bit when he said “great thing.’” “I don’t know if I’ll have sex with you if Brady and I are dating. That’ll depend on how things go with him and what he wants and what I want at the time.” “So, I’m your fall-back postion, huh? Your Plan B. The one you’ll ‘do’ if there isn’t anyone else?” “Fuck, Alan, of course. You’ve always said there’s no future with us and you’ve known that I eventually want to have a relationship with somebody. Since that can’t be you, of course I’m open to going out with another guy. Just like you’d drop me in a New York minute if you met the right girl. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t!” “Maybe. But that is sometime later, when the lockdown is over, when we aren’t living here together. Later. Not now.”

I've always thought Stoker was more than the sum of his parts. Hugo can give him the timing to beat the machine, will his skills as a gamekeeper come into play with the beasts? Getting through this trial won't be easy, and it will be interesting to see.... I don't know why I keep coming back to the beginning of the story, but... I still have the feeling that Pendersliegh is still to be heard from again; their meeting was so random, and I believe the watch he gave Hugo was already pre-set...I almost get the feeling that if this were a twisted game show, Pendersliegh would be the host...or, another Sinjin???

Caleb...Caleb...Caleb...your lies are endangering you... Micah...something appears off, most likely just my imagination but... "I dunno. Maybe. I don't have a lot of experience with getting picked up. He told me to be careful, that these guys eat boys like me for breakfast." Micah made a face. "At least he was telling the truth there." He took a sip from his glass. "What are you drinking?" "I'm of age," he said vaguely. "You want to dance?"

This is not the first time we've heard this... You, on the other hand, have a different path to walk. A path that leads to a choice, and a destiny that you cannot escape.” Will it be possible to change their combined destiny? Would changing it be the key to their returning to Hugo's world, or Birmingham circa 2010??

And...good riddance!!!!

It’s not just toast, it’s roasted to perfection! But what side do you butter???

I stopped when I had to wear glasses…..in the third grade….

Well done…you nailed it!!

Looking to have a bedroom painted??

I'm having palpitations...Room for a third??? I'd love to see what Jack will/would do when he wins!!

Well now...the die is cast, will Ray and Renalto escape to live and fight another day???

Or is that God forbid if you step out of time, even slightly????

Stoker’s out there somewhere, else wise we would not have a book…fingers crossed As to going back in time to sleep with your boyfriend, before he was your boyfriend, all is fair game of love…..

How can you not like a story with the following line... He put both bottles on the counter and glanced at my notebook, which I closed, which he pretended not to notice. “Hike later?” he said. “There’s a trail behind the lighthouse. Views that’ll make your metaphors behave.”
