Thank you Dolores. I have always been a sucker for a happy ending.

Well their first night together is something you will have in your hands next Saturday. As for how short the chapter is, well, originally Seeon was written as one long story. I had to have help breaking it down to manageable chapters. This is the shortest but to break it anywhere in the next section would have caused a problem. Thanks for the read and comment, Mark.

Time will tell. We are close to the end of book one. Means so many are enjoying I am already rushing to get Book 2 done. Glad you like Seeon Rebelghost85.

Song 18 for Day 18 - Went for something modern. lol.

Chapter 7 – A Reception to Remember They were led down a long hall to the banquet hall and up to the main table which was on another raised dais. The two barely had sat down when everyone erupted into the room after them. The tables quickly swelled with hundreds of people. Seeon was nervous to be surrounded by so many. Most of his life had been spent by himself or at most with two or three people in a room with him. Now he was surrounded by hundreds of people. “

Grandma Ruth We all have those fuzzy images of our early childhood. For me, some of the earliest revolve around the birth of my brother, Jimmy. He was born in July of 1973. On the day of his birth I would also have perhaps some of the earliest images of my Grandma Ruth. Mom tottered into the room before dawn to kiss me and in doing so woke me up. I slid out of bed and watched as my father bundled her into the car and drove off while my next door neighbor, and soon to

Dark future you have here. At least humanity has learned to look at the whole and not just "me". Acceptance is more of the norm there. The worlds you have created are rich and detailed. I was captivated by the many obstacles and how everyone found ways to keep doing the impossible. Interesting story of building a life again from the ashes.

Cia, You always seem to find that ring of truth in your tales. I loved how neither saw themselves as the rest of the world did, yet both had some prejudices they had to overcome. Everything was well handled. A beautiful read from beginning to end.

Dolores, your work is always so different. Your views on life and history so rich and vibrant. It was painful to read the loss he suffers. Truly a wonderful piece. I'm so glad you put this forth.

Well James seems to have no redeeming qualities at all. He has broken Adam, used Sam, taken Jenny. He has this strange council of like minded people he has to appease yet and then there is Lady Caroline Hunt. Interesting crop of people there, Mark. I still wonder what you plan to do with them all.

I'm always interested in a new twist to a story. Outbreaks have been done now and then but you had such a unique take on it here Bill. I really liked how the more things change, your nasty Reverend for example, the more they stay the same, the new Sheriff. Just liked how this opened the world to see the GLAD community in a new way. Wonderful story.

I agree Bill. Screwing something up is easy. Admitting you are wrong and then trying to do something about it, now that is hard. Earning a second chance to get it right doesn't happen all that often.

Well Sam, you never know where that voice of reason is going to come from, sometimes it is the voice of a teenage girl.

Well I like a happy ending, I just don't let the trip be too easy. Thanks Andy.

I took the aftermath idea and sort of dovetailed it with Mickey having to deal with end his relationship because he never dealt with his last one. Sometimes life forces you to learn but never gives you the chance to redeem yourself. Mickey was lucky. He got a second chance.

Thank you Michael. I am glad you liked it.

First to Graeme, Lugh, and Cia who worked announcing, planning and helping to get the Anthology together. Their hard work makes the stuff us writers do look so much better. They start a year in advance with getting the ideas together, having people vote, and then work it over till it shines, before it is given to us writers to put our own spin on it. Then they create skins, double check the work, and make it all go together smoothly. Then to not only those work behind the scene deciding who will gain that title of Promising Author but to the readers who take the time to devote to the work, comment, and make it a pleasure to post. For those who have read, liked, commented and been there to encourage and push along a writer. To those who have inspired new work, to those who helped correct my awful ideas smoothing away the rough edges and making me look better than I am, again thank you. It is nice to have something to be truly grateful for. May my work continue to bring you in and make you read. Wayne

Day 17 - Okay so by doing this list you are learning a lot about me and my past. My whole family watched this special and loved it. Here is a song for you by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. A true Christmas to Remember. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhYEf9TQO0I

OH MY GOD. Who would have thought Lugh and I would have the same tastes. This was the song I had planned for today and by the same artist too. Guess it is on to the next on on my list instead.

For someone who kept lamenting he couldn't do a story like this, you did an incredible job. Lugh. I loved how you just kept everyone guessing till Gaston and Chord could figure it out. Once they did though, look out. Well the purity ring became a wedding ring and the two guys have their American nuptials to look forward to. So what happens on a drunken weekend, everyone finds out about. Including the pictures. For shame. LOL.

You do have a way of making it all look so easy Renee. I love how Greg and Brian handle it all. The attraction, the growing interest, the fall on the way out for lunch. Even the running out to shovel the area before he comes back. Great story. I hope you come back to these guys again. Would love to know what happens when the spring time arrives. lol

Well, well, well. What can I tell you, MR. KC? A really good story with no sex. OH, my. Your story telling for this tale was perfect. I am going to have to come back to it to give you the like but for now know that this is perhaps my favorite story of yours. I found the sweet image of boys in braces, first kisses, and second chances just too good to miss. Very well crafted sir.

Thanks for the review W_L. I am not sure about the gay couples councilor though. However I know how hard it it is to move on and trust again once you have had a bad relationship. The big problem he had was not being able to realize what he had till it was gone. But Mickey was lucky, he is getting a second chance at Tad.

Well while I got the fact he was a ghost quickly I never would have guessed Xel was a half bunny half dragon demon sort of thing. So much for thinking that he had an imaginary friend. Boy was I off base. Poor guy never had a chance. Dark tale there Dark.

Thank you Conner. The problem he had with Tad wasn't one of them but the baggage he was still carrying. Life was kind to him, though that doesn't often happen. I'm glad you liked it.
