The thought that they could live for centuries is both intriguing and alarming at the same time. The idea that they could live for so long speaks to the wonder of medical science combined with stasis. At the same time, the current generation of leadership would block younger generations from assuming their place in this new world, retarding their advancement. I fear the infallibility the current could poise...There would have to be some sort of mechanism/protocol where the current generation and the succeeding generations become "wise elders" with limits as towards longevity.

I have to echo @Al Norris's sentiments, coming of age in the late 60's early 70's the life I wanted/needed was a long ways off...This was tender, sweet, and well written and I am glad they have found each other...one hopes the storms have passed and there is some smooth sailing ahead!!
There is a need for an edit, hoping it wasn't a Freudian slip...
Jackson gripped my hips and moved faster. Each thrust sent shivers through me. I knew he was getting close when his grip tightened and sweat beaded his brow. He shouted my name as his orgasm barreled through him. I felt his cock throb as he emptied himself into the condom. It was nothing like it was with Jackson. It's impossible to explain, but it felt so right.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, in this case a song is worth so many more.
An intense snippet, a window actually, giving us a glimpse into the life of a thirteen-year-old boy who is in crisis.
As noted in the previous review, not much more can be said, without spoiling this tale.
Take a moment, it is worth the time to read.
Always had a crush on young JJT...the nosy next-door neighbor may be a city clerk but as one her powers are limited; however, it is he contacts within the city administration could prove to be problematic. it is a shame they can't figure out a way to raise the height of the wall or if needed, plant a few larger spruce trees...

Well it looks like the benefits are better than working at the lighthouse...the question is, can Bell be the person Toby needs?
Then there's Carey, and how does/will Micah fit in to this assemblage???
Better yet, where does Toby go to college, if he goes???
The following says so much...
I think I got flushed, hot in the face again. And, before I knew it we were back home. My parents were anxiously waiting so Charlie did a hello and goodbye l, leaving me to tell them everything I did at school. Dad was joyful asking me about Myra, and mom kept asking about the teachers and how helpful they may have been. All I could hope for, at that point, was things to mellow out, and be just like everyone else in the world going to school.
There can be no doubt that Charlie is moving over to the gay side of life, will it last one wonders. Toby it would seem is a not too reluctant passenger on the voyage of discovery...
I'm new to this story after finding it a bit late, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for taking some of your precious time to gift us with your work, it is appreciated...Thank you!!!
There's an old cartoon strip called Pogo that had a panel that sums up Keith's predicament. While the setting has nothing to do with the world Keith lives in, the sentiment expressed could/should apply to Keith.
