I think we all have someone we love and don't want to lose. My mother was my confessor, my friend, and the one person who I could always depend on. I think when they leave they take a part of heart with them. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.

Chapter 6 – The Music Knew the End Charlie awoke before the first rosy fingers of dawn had spread across the dark sky. He woke feeling depressed and could not figure out why, for the life of him. Sitting up, he stretched but felt completely out of sorts so he forced himself out of bed. Charlie usually was graceful when he got up. This morning he stumbled into the bathroom, washed his face, and brushed his teeth. Then he took his time and carefully shaved his

Yeah thought you needed to see how Charlie processes things. Don't worry. Working on the next chapter now. Things are about to get harder.

Sorry but I was reading a story on here and one of the secondary characters said something that just tossed me for a loop. Now I am curious to see if what I thought is common or not. Do you feel there is an age when you should give up looking to find love because, well you are just too old. Or do you believe that love springs eternal and no matter what age you are love is always a possibility? My need to know is peaked here and figured I would ask.

I read all your chapters in one sitting. I've cried more than once. I am glad that Andy and Matt found their way back to one another. There are parts here that might haunt me. Some things struck a little close to home. But it was a beautiful story and I am glad you shared it.

I am so glad you gave us more. I like this much better and it gives it more of a closure. Congrats on writing such a beautiful piece.

If I was to turn out my pockets I would be carrying at any given moment : my wallet, house keys, car keys, coins, my cell phone, and a small pad with a pen for notes and story ideas. I'd be naked if I had to go without pockets.

I've watched C-SPAN and scared me badly.

Okay, I read the whole thing in one sitting. Just sort of what I do. I see this has been left on the back burner for a while. May I please ask that you continue it. I want to know what is going to happen. I already see signs of Devin's past and from the little flashes perhaps his future. Not ready to just see Sunny leave and become one of those broken kids that Devin wants to see save. I hope you finish this tale.

Sorry like to many other men I need my pockets. I have of course dated a guy who had no problem with pants that had no pockets. Of course he was a tiny thing with a great asset and he made me carry all his stuff for him. Needless to say my jacket had to have pockets to carry his stuff. So yeah I like pockets in jeans and don't think I could do without them.

The Final Doorway She lies upon the bed like a captured Queen enthroned There are wires and tubes running all across her regal form No longer the woman of smiles with knowledge dancing in her eyes The beeps, whirls, and silences of a hospital are now the norm. The loving voice that once called my name is silenced With tubes to breathe and machines that hiss Each beat of her heart now a precious gift But knowing soon it will skip and miss Tears flow and memori

Love the Unknown After the pain I sealed that door Knowing I did not want it any more Yet with a look from you the door fell down I built my walls thick and tall Keeping everyone out so I would not fall Yet with a word from you my walls lay shattered I hid within the hollow man Letting his smile protect me was the plan Yet with a poke and a prod you cracked him open. I now lie naked and bare In a world where I thought no one would care Yet

I find writing anything helps. Sometimes I find myself with new ideas that don't fit into the present story I am writing so I take notes. Sometimes I write poems. I find as long as my muse is happy and letting the ideas come I write. Sometimes it is just taking the time, letting something nice play as background music, I write until the pen runs dry and then I type it all up. As long as you write and are having fun doing it then I say keep going.

Sort of a background chapter but important for Charlie to realize he needs to settle things. He might not have come to any conscious decisions but he has allowed his subconscious mind to mull things over. Thanks for the comment and enjoy.

Wow. At first I just couldn't figure out what Rosaly's secret was. All I kept seeing was how this little girl kept getting hurt over and over again. I was so glad when the Dr. stepped in and her life improved. I felt like a bloody idiot not catching the tell tale signs as I read the story over. When Ross became himself I was so happy. I was so intrigued by his take of the art. I really am curious now about Nash but it sounds as if Ross finally has his missing piece and is going to be content and happy. Beautiful story, carefully explained and lovingly constructed. A pleasure to read and even better to understand those who have so much to go through to become who they really are.My only problem is Nash came up and it ended. Seems that would have been something truly special to expose us too. Hopefully you will do so at a later date.

I love a well crafted piece of work. The story flowed beautifully. We got to see real pain, someone afraid of the future, and one man who wouldn't let his happiness come at the cost of his son. True friends, a new partner, and a wife and daughter lovingly remembered. Who could ask for anything more. Nice job all the way around. Thank you for sharing.

Chapter 5 – Working Out the Day’s Events Charlie walked into his apartment and began to pace the floor. He felt as if he needed to do something before he crawled out of his skin. He hated when he felt like this, like his mind was a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions. “I’ll finish the projects,” he announced to an empty room. He quickly picked his satchel up off the floor and in moments the table looked like it had before he had left for work that mor

Yes, Mr Reeds owns a book store. There is more to come about him as the story develops. As for Charlie's pondering of his various problems that is part of the next chapter's story. Well on its way and hopefully up either tonight or tomorrow. Glad everyone is enjoying it so far.

and here I thought stress was the overwhelming desire to choke some idiot who desperately needed it but knowing it would be wrong and send you to jail.

Seems as if Zack got his meal after all. I really hope you decide to expand on it. Very erotic, and also spellbinding. Glad to see our vampire does have some control about who he takes to dinner and who he makes dinner. Very good story.

Glad you enjoyed it. As you can see I like a little humor in my stories. Glad it wasn't lost. And busy already on Chapter 5. Just needed to correct the errors I had on 4 which is why it took so long. Thanks for waiting though, Frosty.

If you weren't kidding I would be wondering where someone in college can afford to keep replacing his stuff. lol. Even out of college, still paying back those loans, I can't afford to do that.

Well seems most of you suggest sex in one form or another. Considering I'm single the "right hand" shuffle isn't doing it. lol. Guess I'll have to work on the love portion first and hope that leads to me wearing myself out.

Never give up on love. It is one of those things that when you least expect it, it turns up and smacks you in the face to get your attention. I agree with the let them watch porn bit. They aren't worth your time if all they want is to get off. Good luck.

Chapter 4 – Meeting Mr. Reeds Charlie had taken the ride to the hospital in silence. Officer Justine had taken a straight path down Montauk Highway and over to the emergency area by the hospital. She parked the cruiser and let Charlie out before both headed inside. Almost immediately Charlie had been sent around to the waiting room. There he waited for news to arrive that he could finally get to see Mr. Reeds. “Damn, these seats are uncomfortable,” hissed Charlie as he tried to rearr
