  1. Thank you. Glad you are enjoying the story. As my editor catches up to me I am able to post. There are already four more chapters written and in their hands. I am hard at work on 13 right now. Hopefully you enjoy the ride.
  2. It was a pause chapter. The recipe is mine. I hope you enjoy it.
  3. Yes the whole family shows up next chapter. Charlie has the advantage/disadvantage of being so much younger than his siblings. He sort of grew up with their children instead. I have a few surprises still in store. Don't worry, Scott hasn't been forgotten either.
  4. Wow. I missed this one. Yes that was the Adele song I had been talking about. Glad you cared enough to comment on your comment. lol
  5. Yeah, well nothing goes smooth for Charlie. Think of him as just trying to get through life. He is a loveable guy but his path hasn't been smooth. Glad you are enjoying it Frosty. As soon as my editor finishes my chapters they will be up.
  6. It is that Mom power. You know you spend nine months with her as close as can be. She should know you fairly well. Then she spends 18 years worrying about how you turn out. Suddenly her child is an adult so she just keeps doing what she knows, Frosty. But I hope you liked Barbara.
  7. I'm a dunker. I take my oreo, split it, take the one that doesn't have the cream on it and dunk it and eat it. Then take the one that does and lick the cream off. Once done I dunk it and eat it. Occasionally I just get bored and dunk the whole cookie and eat it as is. But I love milk with my oreos.

    On the Spot

    Well that makes the water a little less murky. Can I tell you the one person I feel sorry for is Zach. Seems this has a long way to go yet Frosty. Things just don't go smoothly and when the ball falls it might just crush them all. Of course for the few answers you give us, you also cause a lot more to be asked. Who is the Senior and what is the photos of? What sort of shape is Rory in? Did Zack find the answers or did John stop him? Are these two brutes lovers themselves? Like I said for every answer you gave you raised another. Till next chapter.
  9. Chapter 8 – Trouble with Gifts At eight am on Sunday morning Charlie finally took his car out of storage. Since Tina had been willing to pick him up everyday Charlie had put his car into his parking spot at the apartment, covered it, and only stopped to keep the battery charged and it clean. Needless to say it really hadn’t been driven anywhere in over five months. I hope I remember what I am doing. The thought shot through his mind when he finally got behind the wheel and pulled out i
  10. Thanks for reading this. I think most children get close to a parent and can sense what is going on faster than anyone else. Barbara is just extra good on her whole family. You won't have to wait long for the next chapter though. My editor is done with it. The story is complete to chapter 11 right now. Enjoy.
  11. Chapter 7 – Barbara Makes Her Presence Known Thursday and Friday passed in a blur for Charlie. He moved through the days on automatic, rising each day, going about his daily tasks, smiling, talking, and none of it really penetrating beyond the surface. It was only when he was in front of his students that Charlie came to life. For them he worked, joked, and was fully attentive. However, the moment the last one climbed on the school bus and it pulled away, the life drained away from Charlie.

    Wake-up Call

    Well he wasn't lead blindly into being a crook. However whatever went wrong must have been a doozy. Seems that everyone is going to pay for it. I wonder what John got them all into now. Till next chapter and maybe an answer or two.
  13. 1) Seeing my friends and family smile 2) Surprising someone with a small gift 3) Favorite music on the radio 4) Cooking 5) Traveling somewhere with a friend 6) Being told by someone they love me 7) Seeing a student get my lesson 8) Sharing a story and seeing it well liked 9) Being greeted at the door by the dog 10) Taking time to out for myself to read, or sleep, or do a hundred little things I usually deny myself the pleasure of. These are but a few of the many things that make me smile.
  14. KC, I found my betas in Chat. I find I have an advantage with them when they read. Because both use English as a second language they spot my errors in time, space, and basic sentence structure for me. They tell me honestly what doesn't make sense. I then have a native English speaker as my editor. He finds my spelling and grammar errors but helps to make sure the American slang stays in place and doesn't get lost in translation on me. Wayne PS - Cia makes a great point. I read and comment on a lot of work. That allows me to see what is out there, what works, and because I am willing to help them by reading many return the favor.

    Mark, Life doesn't always grant us the life we would like but it is up to us to make what we do have into what we want. In some respects I'm broken but I keep going. Wayne

    The Senses

    Your work has become extremely erotic. You have gone from a place of pain to one of sensual overload. I wonder who the lover is in this piece but then again not knowing is half the fun.

    The Phonecall

    Well you know Mark isn't telling the truth. One or two spots you might want to reread a bit Frosty. Missing words but was able to put it together. Poor Zach. He is the caregiver, the one who cleans up after everything and now this. Mark might be the one who had to deal with a rough childhood but it looks like he never truly left that life behind when he got together with Zach.
  18. Okay so you lurk, you deal with everyone in your family, and your own health isn't the greatest. And they wonder why you chose chatterbox for a nickname. If you need a hand with anyting let me know. I have broad shoulders to cry on if you need them.

    Chapter 1

    Jian, Finding the pain is never the problem, finding a way to convey it is. Thank you so much for reading.

    The Outside

    The world outside is your escape. The scents and sounds of your woods a comfort. Your dog your faithful companion. This shows your softer side. The place where you are most content and where you feel most at home. Your poetry is improving. The flow here was much easier for you and one can sense the contented atmosphere you have created. This truly is a beautiful piece of work Mark. Don't forget though, you have friends who willingly offer you support. Wayne

    Chapter 1

    Yeah Frosty. This is one of those pieces that show the hurt. Don't worry about what you write, I am always glad to hear what people have to say.

    Chapter 1

    The paper was left almost accidentally here in my office. I found amongst a small pile by the edge of the desk. It was barely a page long, neatly hand written and done in a dark blue ink on starch white paper. The pain contained in that page is something I hope never to encounter again. Hello, If you are reading this I am sorry. Just call me, broken, because that is who I am. I’ve been broken my whole life. I just figured it was time to explain it so everyone would kno
  24. What happens when your whole life leads you to believe that you are somehow broken and useless. How do you get through life feeling that way. What do you do if you reach the end of that rope? Do you reach out and to who? What happens if you are the one who is left with that person's note. Welcome to the world of Broken - a life.

    Chapter 20

    Wow, I wasn't sure if he was going to end up with anyone. His loneliness seemed to pull so many to him but he seemed to be putting them all with the right people as things went along. I was sure in the end he might end up totally alone. I am glad that Dan and Joey were able to be friends. I'm really happy Ced fell for Dan and they are going to make a try of it. Wonderful story.
