Well...just what and who is Scott's father and who is coming through the front door???

Can just see it now... Careful where you point that thing son, you could put someone's eye out...

Timing is everything, did/does Pelipi and the glass box survive the sudden stop???

The three boys have come a long way, not only in distance but in acceptance...I hope the storm isn't a harbinger of things to come...

Loved this chapter and just keep posting as you did for this one...that should keep the chapters rolling!!!

WTF dude...you are seriously gonna tease us like that??? Right now I'm in between drafts of Pandemonium; the next book in the series, of which there'll be like 9 or 10 books total (depending how edits/rewrites go). Let me know if ya'll would be interested in me posting it here. I suspect some of your readers would get all gansta on you!!! Taking matters in hand...hummm, what would that lead to...

Curiouser and curiouser...the trouble that danged cat has caused, wonder what else is in the tunnels?

Again, as noted by @NimirRaj, Matt is found naked, his clothes ripped to shreds with a head injury...it is beyond the pale that he isn't checked for possible signs of sexual assault as triage is performed...if it is missed, woe to those treating him...

Talk about setting the scene....A great start and looking forward to more!! That we are suffering with high humidity in the Bay State certainly added to how the chapter feels...

An interesting chapter to say the least...much to learn and absorb to say the least...Mac's impatience could be excused as his young age, but he's a college student for gosh sakes...I would expect he'd show a bit more deference to the shaman and accept the conditions he's being trained under without any (bad pun alert here) reservations...Then and just as importantly, Gramps and Devin need to show some ability to endure the separation while the training is taking place. That his training is moving quicker than expected, and it is a good thing, those around Mac and the shaman need to keep their distance. I feel the following is/was spot on...Mac needs to think a bit more about the questions he's asking, lest he sounds like he's impatiently whining... “But why do we have to wait until Sunday night before we go out for a run?” “You and the others may not think it would make a difference when you do it, other than your impatience. However, it could make a huge difference if anyone from the reservation were to see you.

I had to post this before reading any other comments...CHECK FOR DNA....ASAP!!! Marty drags Matt into the woods, not being concerned about Matt getting banged into trees along the way. After finding a small clearing, he rams Matt's head into a tree a few times, leaving Matt very groggy. Marty throws Matt to the ground, who tries to crawl away, but Marty begins kicking and beating him. While Matt never loses consciousness, Marty does a pretty good number on him. Helpless, Marty strips Matt and begins sodomizing him. After he's finished, he tries to destroy Matt's clothes and leaves Matt lying on the ground. How...just how frigging stupid is Marty...he won't be opening any doors on his own for a while... CHECK FOR DNA!...ASAP!!!!

Thought you knew peanut butter?? this is a fun little read!!

For someone who can't live without peanut butter or PB&J with homemade raspberry jelly, I have to say I love this story and another chapter would be fantastic!!!

A powerful chapter to say the least, all the other comments are/were spot on... His thoughts were scattershot ramblings shooting through the fog of his own anger. All conjecture and passing suppositions. Nothing cohesive. Not until a kindled memory brought him back to the bedlam of Speaker’s Square… and of the cloaked marksman he saw perched upon the rooftops… a shadow in the shadows of a red brick flue… pistol tilted low, too low to hit the forum or the king sat atop it… yet close enough to kill a spectator… to trigger a panic… and then how quickly came Wolner’s men to King Oswald’s rescue… how handily close by their streetside commandery was… and so conveniently soon into the good Constable’s investigation into the Crow’s Club… Too many coincidences to be a coincidence. Death will be too kind to Wolner and/or the Duke. There's a special place for heinous a-holes like Gustave... King Oswald cut a false smile with pursed lips. “My sweet Lord Uncle. Take the joys of the hunt for thine own self this once. Ride ahead with the dogs, track my boar along the dell, and blow your horn when the beaters have it trapped for the kill. We shall follow anon.” The Duke returned a curt half-smile, equally false. “Yes, Your Majesty.” He turned his horse about and whipped at its reins, galloping ahead into the shaded forest trail. The Duke’s retainers quickly followed, including his excellency Ambassador Ludolf, who cut Gustave a dark glare as he broke away with the others. Ser Fynn’s fewterer and his gnashing bitches did the same. ‘There are factions in this court,’ thought Fran. ‘And their rift grows…’ This society is like a pressure cooker left unattended, something's going to give...The name escapes me at the moment, but at the dance before the king and in his honor, Fran's partner spoke to the corruption that was destroying the nobility... Having said all that...a new broom cleans best...

Need I say more????

My mother use to claim my father made her Swedish by insemination...

You selling condos in swapland near @kbois?????

NEVER apologize for burdening us with a double chapter...now ifin there just happened to be a triple chapter, then I reckon we might have to have words... This chapter was a masterpiece in the moonlight...I'm reminded of a chapter section from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, the awareness of the given environment is staggering/stunning https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/58579-consider-the-subtleness-of-the-sea-how-its-most-dreaded I believe early on in the first chapter or two that Jubal in his ruminations, reflected on an assignation gone upside down and a physical component that left him badly scarred, both figuratively and physically... Loved the banter all throughout this chapter but especially the following... “Why would I laugh? It’s got a roof, don’t it?” he asked teasingly. Lucas snorted. “A crooked one what leaks in the rain, but yep, there is a roof. Walls ain’t straight either… wander like a horse with no bridle.” “Noticed that,” Jubal said with a smirk. “Told y’all not to laugh. First time I ever built a cabin, and had no help for it. Confess to not knowing what I was doing, but it should stay standing for tonight.” “Should?” “Well, I can’t say for certain, but we’re used to some danger now, ain’t we?” “Suppose we are at that. A crooked roof don’t scare me none compared to armed killers.” “Don’t forget the crooked walls.”

I'm of the thought that an author should post completed, or nearly completed works, there are incomplete stories on this site that began in 2010...as a retired old fart, I'd like to finish stories before they finish me...or..I get finished... To each their own..posting schedule...but I digress.... An auspicious start after the prologue...where do we go from here...

The following rings so frigging true... She continued: "The autocrats in Tehran will ensure sanctions relief does not go to the Iranian people but to make more drones for Russia to use against the people of Ukraine. Any such deal would be calamitous for the Iranian people, sanctioned or unsanctioned," she warned.

The stage has been set, looking forward to the next chapter...

Something keeps nagging the gray matter at the back of my cranium...that Kyan's entire extended family knows about Perry's infatuation and all the latest developments with the wooing of Kyan, while everyone tiptoes around the issue. I can't help but feel that when Kyan finally is clued in to the fact he's the dunce, dummy, the one kid not in on the secret, that the following may/might happen...

he best way to cure homophobia is to show the bigots they are the ones that need help...Glad to see all the boys had a great day... @weinerdog got me to thinking about Italian sausages...mmmmm

To much time left in this vacation, I somehow get the feeling that the relationship issue between Perry and Kyan just may hit the fan before they board the plane.... Loved the following...all the other comments were spot on Perry’s heart hammered furiously. He knew there were a few things he could offer Kyan that his sister couldn’t, but Dayna was more of a one-plate meal deal than he realized. That was fine. Perry would be Kyan’s all-you-can-eat-buffet. He was going to tick every one of Kyan’s unchecked boxes.
