  1. There's a nice spectrum of parental contrasts. I suppose small towns just seem to condense things. Poor Bobby, and Jamie especially.
  2. I wonder if it's possible for The Tree to have more than one heart?

    Chapter 71

    A chapter of reconciliations, and that is a good thing. Eastwyck seems to be a reserved character, and his shyness is easily confused. I think George understands that now. Then there's Caroline, we can't have her angry for long, that would do no one any good. She's an amazing woman, and also quite threat when riled! This story never fails to entertain me.

    Chapter 16

    Davey is really going to do things right in this life. He's so changed from when this new life started. He was afraid of making changes, or maybe just only making minor personal ones. That's all over now, isn't it? He's become active. Attaboy!

    The Fool Revealed

    I can't ignore what Matt is as he gets to know Andrew. I imagine that as the fool he has always been the most human of his family, but his existence has had to involve a certain amount of vicariousness until now. I wonder if the real thing will be worth him giving up what he has for it?
  6. Frustration all around, -everybody feels it. At least the situation has settled down and things have gone into an impasse mode. I suppose this gives us time unless the Tree starts shedding more limbs...

    Chapter 39

    That certainly got flipped on it's side. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad. What's with all these nuns and burkhas? Bring on Karen Black, God rest her soul... You are truly wicked!
  8. Of course! It makes perfect sense for Matt to avoid all involvement if he feels responsible for what happened to Gary. The whole Tree issue may be frightening or at least oppressive to him. Remorse is a powerful emotion, and it is tenacious. This is a wicked plot, and I'm loving it.

    Part 30.

    Splendid chapter. Wirrin is indeed a true friend of the AI community. Have a great trip. Tasmania! How exciting! Say Hi to the devils for me.

    Questioning Nature

    Two new children of the aqumi? That's a surprise, and a welcome one. Wait until they meet Mr. Charm. I'm so happy he's still as crotchety as ever. He does smoldering fury so well... It's got to be a great disappointment that people on Earth haven't changed at all. Poor Konstantin! May he find Shay and Mira soon. Meanwhile Yugan is dreaming in color, -that boy is special.

    Three Blessings

    This is an interesting beginning, and yes, it is a little dark. But I think I do like it.
  12. Matt does protest a bit much about this Mourton business and Vince. He's in love...

    Chapter 38

    Sabotage! Someone set the whole thing up... can we figure out who?
  14. The meeting with Matt didn't go well and that's too bad, but seeing things from Matt's perspective, it's not surprising. I hope Shane can help, bless his eavesdropping self. He's a fun character.
  15. There's more about this Heart of the Tree that I want to know. Vince's parents are all shaken up and scared. I'm sure we'll find it out, but I'm impatient... This is quite a mystery, and I love it.

    Calvin Wilson

    This is a touching story, and I like your writing style. Thanks for sharing it.
  17. Vince does a runner. Can't blame him. He must feel like it's all hopeless, but at least he hasn't done anything more drastic.

    Chapter 34

    I didn't think the sign in the picture was shopped. It was what I'd expect: insipid arrogance. At least the NSA may actually come up with something useful now, and that would be a good thing.
  19. Outed by a tree! How can you argue with Mother Nature? -I love it. The description of Vince's hangover was priceless, by the way.

    Chapter 10

    This is such an intriguing story, and it's haunting the way that you have in making a mystery out of so many things. It's all very deep. Each chapter gives us more information and more mysteries. Poor Hugh at least has a chance to confront some of those demons from the past. He has help now, but there's going to be a price to pay. I like Gary. He has insight and seems to really want to help. Hugh's going to need it.

    Prompt du jour 2

    This is a beautiful and sad little tale. I cried, even though Tag thinks you shouldn't.

    Chapter 32

    Pasture Party! Those kids have the right idea...and they're armed.
  23. Light and dark. Veil of Shadow is certainly more dramatic a title than Hidden Sunlight, but I sense a connection. At the moment what interests me most is finding out more about these Mishish or Dagenith creatures of Planet Otsin, (I hope I got all that right!) I like the respectful, traditional aspect of these aliens and their history. Yugan is already a little charmer, a cute little spirited bug. He's special. You do special people so well... Are they an insectoid race? You taunt us with pointed vagueness. Just so you know, I do like bugs, but not all of them.

    Unto The Breach

    Strangely enough, I happened to think of you last night, wondering when you might have a new story for us. So here we are... You offer three different scenes, all of which are captivating and mysterious. I'm so happy to start a new adventure!
