Once Simon is no longer stuck inside of his head, he should be able to ace the course...he's learning the hard way there is a difference between thinking and doing...

Thanks for your kind comment, needless to say...there's another installment on the way shortly...

I can't say it any better than this, only to say that Dwight was a shmuck, Phil's away for four freaking days and he couldn't at the very least, take personal matters in hand??? While I am, sure Dwight had regrets for his stupidity, forgiving him must have been very difficult...Having lost friends who died from HIV/AIDS I find Dwight's behavior inexcusable.... On another note, for many of my generation and those older, the big worry/scare was Herpes, also incurable at the time, before the advent of HIV/AIDS...

Another example as to why this story site is among the best out there. Please take the time to read both Deed To Their Past and Strength Of Fate. Both are thoroughly well written and engaging and worth the time to read!!

Thank you for taking the time to gift us with your work, as you know from my many comments you succeeded in crafting a marvelous tale... At times you had me pounding the keyboard in frustration, astonishment, wonderment, and so very much looking forward to the next chapter. You've created what every author tries to achieve, reader engagement...thank you again!!!

Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance...sadly this was lacking, and the price paid will be enormous... We will soon see just what the prior nights activities have wrought... Was this whole thing dreamed up by a bunch of clowns posing as shifts??? The city watch had been defeated, but Tisa did not feel like the Shifts were victorious. She was still on her knees and her arm was screaming in pain. “Too many have died,” she whispered, looking around herself at all the corpses. Dead humans surrounded the Shift survivors, but Tisa only focused on the bodies right beside her. Many Shifts lay contorted, frozen in the agony they faced as their lives slipped away. The battle did not feel like a success, and tears began to stream from Tisa’s eyes. The pain in her shoulder was excruciating, but it was nothing compared to the pain she felt in her soul for the loss of so many of her kind.

I was reading this at the gym this morning while on the treadmill, and dang it...you had me reaching for the tissues once again. What a marvelous chapter in so many ways... I can't add anything that isn't mentioned in the comments above other than to note... So fricking true to life, Ollie is so damned lucky to have Uncles Chris and Andre... I want to be a part of this, and I have my own pitchfork, anyone got extra torches???

Well now...what could possibly go wrong/right... By the end of this Oscar may need the entire book of Lottery Tickets...

Thank you, this chapter was a masterclass in development, particularly pacing. The descriptions were so vivid it was like being there!!! Well done!!

Humm...your readers might beg to differ...just saying...

What a fresh, original, and fantastic start to this story, looking forward to the next chapter!!!!

The tension and drama are building slowly as the time for the meeting draws near...then there are all the comments adding to the mix...confusing all of us with all the possible twists and turns and to think, only 17 or so chapters to go!! Mr. Black has no clue what the Korner has planned for him...

So many questions.... When did Commander McIntyre's father pass; before his accident, during, or while he was recovering...or is it something he can't/doesn't remember??? When was the house sold?? did anyone from the Commander's father set up mail forwarding? I'm hooked, looking forward to the next chapter..

With all the weapons, will they in turn become what those they are supplanting?

Wonder what these folks truly think of Francis Heyward??? There is something dodgy and underhanded at paly here... The only slippery moment was when I heard Dan mentioning to Suki about visiting the Nemon palazzo and the Scarpa intervention. I couldn’t resist throwing in about the Pontormo and how lucky they were to be able to acquire it from Francis Heyward, but it was a shame to spit up the two. You could almost feel the air freeze. Suki made a brief comment about the Nemon palazzo then briskly moved on to other modern gardens in the area,

I think what was overlooked was the healing he brought not only to his sister, but his father who apparently had a heart/outlook/emotional reckoning/a near come to Jesus moment/ finally understanding the error of his ways transplant(s)... This chapter had it all, so many twists and turns kind of had me going...and I'm not just talking outta my backside...

And changing driving licenses or passports isn't a problem then????

With that much cash they should have been using credit cards instead...

Offering a job, interesting...and doing exactly what???

I get the feeling that Rabiah just might be the one to take Cormac's place...and that somehow through all of this Nathan's arm is healed...

It is my understanding that Jesus put 'paid' to the strictures of the Old Testament, that they no longer applied to his followers. Ironically the New Testament gave birth to what is referred to as 'Woke'. Then you have the interplay/schisms/antagonisms that exist betwixt all the different groupings of 'believers', that all those who worship differently, must see the error of their ways and ascribe to the one true faith... And one wonders why some folks can't see/understand why our founding fathers insisted on a secular society... So very true...

I looked at your weather for today, here in the central Massachusetts area we've just had our first official heat wave, with temps in the high to mid 90 degrees (F) and the humidity making it feel over 100 degrees(F)!! By contrast your weather seems balmy and quite comfortable... temprature in sydney au today - Search (bing.com)

Well, that explains a lot....Can this ability(ies) be used to make their part of the world safer?

Well if Oscar hasn't bought that lottery ticket, perhaps someone could buy him a scratch ticket!!! He just seems to attract all the wrong sorts of incompetent officialdom...growing up I used to read a comic strip called Peanuts, often the lead character would be shown with a raincloud over his head, could Oscar be a doppelganger???
