That first line was so vivid and relatable. It's a theme for us, wondering if there is an afterlife and if so what form it may take. Very entertaining, though I won't hazard a guess. Our history is littered with the stories of loved ones seen miles away at the hour of their passing or the feeling of someone close watching over us.

Whether this was well written or not, I'm profoundly disappointed. The man is drugging a child and then creating porn of him. I find it disingenuous that the adult is written in such a way - in one line that he wasn't pressuring the child. It's further disturbing that the child is aroused and that this is written as a natural event. Some sort of healthy awakening while a man who drugs and photographs nude children is somehow seen as something of a mentor. This feels almost like a gaslighting, propaganda piece that makes me feel like I need a shower - too bad I can't get soap inside my skull.

It isn't me; hope that helps to narrow things down!

@ReaderPaul I appreciate your mention, and while I don't comment on each comment - unless there is something to address - I do appreciate and read each of them and try to react to each of them. Sometimes I note later on that I didn't see some and react very late, but I appreciate hearing from the readers. Thanks for your reading support over the years.

I think it's just because I have so many characters. Noah, from Desperado, was a runner and I have a character in Sanitaria Springs named Carlo.

It was great to see you - and as a bonus, so educational! I never knew a Tor was a thing, and I think you should use that picture (you know the one) for your avatar everywhere. With a German caption. LOL Happy birthday, enjoy your (re)scheduled celebration!

The snow was flying flat across my bumper after dinner! It was reasonable when we went in, but jeez.

Not me.

Excellent twist!

The Lady or the Tiger? I can see you doing a lot with this idea - who are the caretakers of the property and what are their motives? This fellow can't be the first, etc. So, lady, it's a good start...you know what you have to do now? 🙂

What a cute story. Jeff is very clever and it's cute Matt thinks he's not making things too easy for his boyfriend, but...methinks Matt will be outsmarted.

I remember sitting with friends. The junior high cafeteria was enormous and chaotic, so I think there was less possibility for some cliques to form along traditional lines. High school was different. Oh, and the bog thing about junior high lunch was the huge chocolate chip cookies - but they had to be soft to be any good.

As a collector/restorer of Telechron Clocks, I love how you capture the feeling of hope from each run down antique spot that suddenly appears while driving. The anticipation of the unknown that you might find on a dusty shelf, looking for the right person to claim it.

Funny you should mention, @JamesSavik. I had only seen parts of some of the final three. The first three I found...tolerable, if not as good as the original set. But the final three? Bantha poo-doo. To be clear, I didn't mind the female lead, though she wasn't a strong character, imo. The light saber fights were very poor - perhaps indicating the lack of true training. But the way they handled Luke...trash. The ship going into hyperspace into the fleet...nice idea, problematic at best. Lea using the force while knocked out to float through space back tot he ship? I mean you have to suspend belief a bit, but...so much left out. Jumped way too far ahead. Did anyone get a chance to care that Ben Solo fell to the dark side? No. We didn't see him grow with Lea as a mom and Han as a dad. Can you imagine? 'Don't let your mom know I let you make the Kessel run!' Missed opportunities.

Thank you, Myr!
