Murder in the Woods Caleb sat by the window, smoking a cigarette and looking out at the city lights strewn beneath him, artificial stars on the incandescent blanket of pseudo night. He blew out a stream of smoke. The night was cold outside the window and the room was cool as well. He was looking forward to crawling back into the sheets and curling up against his lover. But he needed a few minutes first, with the nicotine and the cold and the quiet to soothe his mind, to shake off the

Caleb faces a difficult choice about whether or not to reveal a dark past to his lover.

*hugs* Hang in there.

Chad got up when it was still dark and quiet, and went out onto the balcony to smoke a cigarette. The days were still long, hard and hot, but the nights were cool and clear, causing Chad to shiver a little as a stray breeze played across his bare chest. He saw Tibial through the window, softly illuminated by the light of a single lamp, asleep and curled up on his side, burrowed deep into the blankets. Chad smiled as he drew on his cigarette. Tibial looked very young asleep and enticing with his

Thank you. I do like twists I should be posting chapter 2 soon.

Well, you might like not hugging and people touching on you and that's fine, but that is you. That is not everyone else. I like hugs, I like them because they are comforting and affectionate. And I think that is why so many people use It's a gesture of love and support that is recognized by almost everybody. I usually hug my family members if I see them after a long while, or sometimes even my friends. A girl I am friends with stopped by at my office the other day and I ran right up to her and gave her a big hug

Thanks for reviewing! The world is similar to ours, but the culture is definitely different. There is some kind of mutation at work that has lead to a decline in the population, thus leading to some strange traditions.
-
Indeed, they both enjoyed it, more than they should have. It'll cause problems later on! Thanks for the review!

Wow, thank you. I'll take erotic as a compliment The story does have a focus on sex and mating and does ritualize it to some degrees. There will be other traditions based on sex in later chapters, but nothing as specific as what was written here. I'm glad you found it interesting. I look forward to seeing if the events in the story match your predictions! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

I'm glad you found it interesting. The purpose behind Tibial's experience was to prepare him to be with a woman, yes. That is why this culture requires a man to undergo this particular experience, to attempt to give them a woman's perspective to make them better lovers. Thanks for reviewing!

I like where this is going. Very excited to meet Shawn!

Writing Tip: From Imagination To Publication
CassieQ commented on Trebs's blog entry in Writing World
Great advice! -
Poor Jordan. You write his pain so very vividly that I can feel it along with him. All the little details, from the pain of seeing how the living space has changed with Mitch's absence, to the need for mundane tasks to keep grounded when the loss threatens to overwhelm, really draw a reader in so you feel the emotions along with the character. This is a great story, I look forward to seeing what else happens.

Reach Part One: The Eastern Vineyards Tibial sat straight and tense as hell in the front passenger seat as the truck cruised down the road. He had been nervous earlier, sitting on the curb and biting on his fingernails. It was a habit no one could ever get him to break, though everyone had tried. He was watching Chad, elbow deep in grease and machinery, as he worked on the engine of the small beige truck. Tibial had been radiating an anxious, almost frightened energy all afternoon...Not that

In a world similar to ours, a young man must take his final step into adulthood. After a cruel initiation however, Tibial finds himself torn...between who he is supposed to love, but doesn't and who he shouldn't love, but does.

I don't know how I feel. I have no idea if I am handling things well or not, even though everyone says I am. I just don't feel like I am. I feel like I'm a big, unhappy confused mess Most of the time I feel like I just want to take the cats and go home, away from all this confusion. But I don't have either one of them anymore.

I went to therapy today and the shrinker said that she was very impressed by how well I was handling things. I felt like such a hypocrite.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it

And it all came down to a rock... or to quote Charlie Brown "I got a rock!"

I had a bunch of car problems last year and they can really mess things up. Hope things improve for you soon! -
