What a fantastic start to this story and dang you, about halfway thru I was reaching for the tissues, this is so very well written and true to life. As a younger man, I was working in the engineering field as support services. The Chief Mechanical Engineer found out I did carpentry and painting on the side to augment my income. He had me do some painting in the mother-in-law suite in his house in anticipation of her moving in. Long story short, once the work was completed and after she moved in, I had to go back and take care of a few small things for her and replace the toilet. It was at the visit I saw the tattoo on the inside of her wrist, she was a survivor of one of the camps. She quickly sussed I was gay and accepted me without hesitation. When the toilet came up off the floor, she looked in the bathroom and saw the accumulated dirt underneath, telling me it was schmutz, not really shite but fertilizer. I have such fond memories of that woman and the utmost respect for her as a survivor who was able to put the past in proper perspective...

Just remember to take Arya for a walk every now and then wheh reenacting...who woulda thought it was those types of books... Wow,” he eventually said. “Thank you for trusting me with it. And I promise, I’ll never tell a living soul.” “I’d appreciate that.” He slowly shook his head. “Wow…” “Stop. It’s just a job.” “Yeah, I know, but…wow! And I am going to read them. And if it’s anything like Megan says, we’re gonna reenact every bit of it.” Oh gosh… Now that would be thrilling!

Looks like someone is thinking about a different kind of ring other than a class ring.... And we wait to see when the bitch, witch from next door makes an appearance...

Eventually being the operative word, for both of the POS's...

Thanks for sharing this with us, truly enjoyable!!!

What game are you playing Francis....rumors of your demise/decline abound and smoke from all quarters indicating financial heat... And Vaughn and Dan have the right of it... “You think that’s what this is, power play, look at me I can have who I want?” “Maybe. But I want none of it.” “Knickers firmly on, in future.” “Definitely.”

This chapter had it all, and Ollie is so fortunate to have Andre and Chris...while I am not surprised to see his mother passing, it is another hit to the already fragile boy, thank goodness he has the support he needs, mind you, it will take some time for things to settle out...Will the wedding be run by a couple of 'Momzillas'???

I still don't trust Jackwad the brother....Good on everyone graduating and let's see if Marc's plans bear fruit....

Glad to see the musical is moving forward and Grant has to be an ignorant putz...Did he really think Tim was going to roll over???

The Baron's meeting sort of reminded me of another family run organization!!!!

Gasp, kiss him and he turns into a frog???? What would his superpower be, giving toxic warts on the areas the sun don't shine????

Enough to go on and sometimes, simplicity rules and rocks!!!

Late to the party again..... and can't disagree with any of the comments...I've always had a soft spot for Maeve, she reminds me of so many important women who helped influenced my life... The following nearly broke me it was so well written, and that is what a fantastic author does with his craft, pointing out an economy of words are sometimes more powerful than a paragraph or chapter...To wit... Maeve watched Andrew trot along the path and disappear down the stairs to the dock. She stared out into the darkening night. "If you have a mind to, God. Bring our Matthew back home." From your lips to God's ears Maeve... @weinerdog, I think your Bronze should be a Silver, and get my spot in the corner ready..., @kbois is part of the team, a coach if you prefer....not in the game so to speak and this judge concurs...you get the silver!!! @Mikiesboy, I'll be making the stuffed steak tomorrow, will let you know how it turns out....

Well, there isn't much I could add to the comments other than to say 'Bow-chicka-chicka-wow-wow'.... Is it hot n humid in here or is that tropical storm Debbie...????

Nothing is ever simple or straightforward...is it????

Why do I get the feeling...

Talk about foreshadowing and evil portends... Thanks. This Oh No is nowhere near as bad as what's coming later 😈 Typing furiously while removing sharp objects from desk and anything throwable within arm's reach....

Not sure I could/can trust this 'straight' man from Toronto, for all we know his wife could be an Eskimo shaman or something with a book full of curses for the nether regions...

Thank you for sharing your craft with us!

Including sending dildo breath to the far reaches of the Butkake galaxy???

It will be interesting to see how Marc might/may help Janek's parents, will that help possibly intentionally/intentionally help Janek's brother Dickwad the Sticky Fingered???

And away we go...from one cliffhanger to another...what is the old saying I am trying to remember, too many cliffhangers cooks spoil the soup????

The comments above say it better than I could, and as one of the older generation, I can only say thanks for taking the time to craft this for our enjoyment. I always get a hoot when I look at the younger generations, all full of themselves as "they have invented sex"...attitudes...Their minds struggling that quite many 'oldsters' have sex...And like Gary or Phil who have moved past that sort of intimacy, find solace and comfort in new ways just as meaningful, if not more... Once again...thank you for this!!!

Could not have said it any better...Thanks for this comment Brooklyn Duo's Cannon in D has to be one of the greatest pieces of music anywhere, from beginning to end it runs the full gamut of emotions, simply wonderful!!!
