I've always strongly believed that love finds a way. When the time comes you will be surrounded by those you love who went before you. All the people and all the pets. It is nice to know I am not the only one who thinks that way. Beautiful story with some very strong emotions in it. Great job, Val.

Bill when would I misspell a title? It was there for a reason and I hoped it might peak someone's imagination and get them to read it. Glad you picked up on the clues and it still held your attention. I just so enjoy telling tales.

Interesting use of the theme. I've never read something like this before so I found it really interesting.

Nick never had the question of who he wanted in his bed, he knew he was gay. When the time came for him to settle down, unfortunately he confused the friendship of Josie for what he wanted. Josie didn't make it easy for him. It was unfair to for her to say he cheated. He never would do that to Josie. In the end, making Josie into a lover cost him everything. He lost his best friend, and the cherished friends he made when they sided with Josie. He had cut James out of his life completely rather than take a chance on hurting Josie and in the end James was still willing to take a gamble and put it all on the table. Josie finally got her man, children and the life she wanted, but she never fully got over Nick and still was trying to punish him. I hope they both found the happiness they needed. Nicely handled Val.

Bill, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I never know where the ideas come from, but I try my best and hope everyone can find something in them. Thanks for the kind review.

I see this and think of both myself and my father. New gray hairs, wrinkles, aches and pains. When did the things you did for fun become something of a challenge? When did you look in the mirror and the face you see get so old? Life happens and we all wear it daily. Interesting piece Bill.

Life is rarely easy and clean. Cole and Rush have just had their lives torn asunder and have major decisions to make. Clay didn't like the choices before him and took a third option that was finally offered. The only constant in their lives seems to be change. I feel bad that in some ways Cole and Rush lose in order for Clay to get a chance at life. i have no clue where you intend to spin these lives next, but I am curious where they will end up. You so keep a reader guessing and wanting more.

The old saying be careful as you climb the ladder of success, for those you harm on the way up, will be happy to smack you on the way back down. The old man got exactly what he deserved. Interesting story Bill. Too bad the man couldn't have reached out and helped those he "loved" instead if forcing them to live in fear.

Greed at its worst. Forget the people, the planet, and any chance to make things better. Who cares if your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren have to pay the price of your greed. As long as you make the money it is all worth it, right?

Those that are transgendered still have so much that isn't understood. Most people have a hard time trying to figure out what someone gay is and how to treat them. It has to be a hundred times worse when your body and mind are not the same. When what you were born and what you identify with and are don't match. It took incredible strength for Jasmine to survive. Nicely handled.

There is so much to take in and say. You did well with the topic, and had him blurring the lines between his work and real life. I was happy to see his partner was willing to back him up if he could get Ryan to come home. Always amazing the affect someone from your past can have on you. Beautifully handled and worth the read.

Dolores you have such and economy of words here. You really create a mood and deliver on it in spades. Great story. Really enjoyed the horror of it and the chant at the end was the icing on the cake. So glad you added this.

Scary Bill. This seems to be happening right now. The flood gates are open and who knows what is going to come pouring out of it? Thought provoking and worrying.

I love the fact that with your stories, the simplest things can take on the most weight. You have a knack for drawing in a reader and keeping their full attention. I loved how the attempt at being romantic took on such a strange note. You handled it beautifully. Can't wait to see them again.

Eeep. Yet another story someone wants me to expand. I hope you enjoyed what I wrote. I don't know if I will come back to it or not. Writing for the next anthology and trying to finish my next story so it can begin publishing soon.

Truthfully this is one of those stories that came about because of an author I was reading. Our own Nephy had been putting up a story and when I seen her nickname the idea sort of popped into my head. I hoped the days I highlighted gave a sense of what he was dealing with. Thanks for the review, Cole.

I look at it as life is never always so exciting. You have stretches where you just survive with spots of pure joy or pain. The trick is to enjoy the joy, survive the pain, and don't look at the daily life as nothing, try to see the peaceful time and enjoy it. For someone who is half angel and half human that is going to take some work. Thanks for the help, Val.

Thanks for the review Cole. I figured with the idea Blurred Edges I could pretty much go anywhere and I did with this one. Glad you liked it. I've enjoyed playing with the idea of a merman.

Thanks Mikiesboy. Some how I seem to get into trouble with the Anthologies. People seem to usually want more. Just glad you liked it.

Puppilull, I figured with such a rich history, and the Greek Gods liking anything that moved, it wouldn't be hard to create such a setting for them. Although I do have a tendency to put my stories where I have been. Plenty of beach front for Triton to bring his father Poseidon and mother Amphitrite to meet Marcus and his family.

Yes Avid, it is that Triton from Greek Mythology. I do have a tendency to go back to the myths or fairy tale world to take my inspiration. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Valkyrie, Thank you again for all your help. I really do take my beta's suggestions and run with them. Glad you liked the final version. Wayne

Sure come home to a full slew of stuff to read and already people have commented. Need to answer and then read like a fiend.

Marcus had gotten up while it was still dark, grabbed his surfboard and wet suit, and then headed out to his car to head to the beach. He hoped to get his wave of the day shortly after sunrise. “Good morning, Long Island. This is Danny K, bringing you the news this morning. First on the list is a violent storm that’s due in shortly after day break today. High winds and violent thunderstorms are expected. All beaches are due to be closed down as riptides and strong currents are expected. A fir

The alarm breaks the silence of the room, although I am already awake. I reach out and turn it off. All it really means is I have to get up and go to work, nothing I really enjoy, but it is a necessary evil like most things in my life. It is hard to pretend and go through life acting like everyone else, when your own life is totally screwed up. However, that is the normal state of being for someone like me. My parents long ago blurred the line between good and evil, normal and superior, angelic
