What a clever pair they are, and Betty went for it all the way. I'm proud of them,
and her. It has been a wonderful tale. I can't think of a better scene to end it with.
It is a happy ending hard won, and well worth the fight. Thank you for this story.
It looks like Jet found his boy in Cody. Brice has some help bringing his two friends
together, it seems. Justin's little brother is charming, and intuitive for a 5-year old.
I've met some of them that are the same way, as if they see more clearly without all
the weight of experience.
Stan said, " She has to grow up". She listens to the music in her bedroom while
crying into her pillow. Yes, she may as well grow up soon, and accept that nothing
is perfect in life. Enjoy what she can, realize that it won't be everything you wanted,
but it may be as good as it will ever get. I almost feel sorry for her, -but not quite!
She's so unhappy, and it's all her own fault. Then again, she could change...and be
happy, or is that asking for too much? Poor woman!
Growing up different in a small town can be difficult, no matter that it is a
town in a liberal European country. Small towns always seem to have their own
dynamics, don't they? People are people wherever you look.
You worked for a Tulip bulb farm? I can't think of anything more Dutch than that!
-Cheers.
I hope Micah will get to transfer to Whitman easily, but I don't see it as a done
deal yet. That shameless, vile little man is going to cause problems.
What a beautiful chapter this is. Everything's finally moving in a good direction for
Micah and David. Robbie and Jake are supportive, ...and then the letter!
Damn! Falling for the straight guy with drinking issues has got to be the biggest
infraction in Asher's rule book. It looks like he's committing just such a sin. Then
Michael has the nerve to be all charming and suave. Is there any hope for Asher?
It seems that San has found his place at the teahouse, and has settled in upstairs
as well. Will he leave? I think not for long. I'm waiting for the time when Ziyu goes
with San to meet San's father. Those two should meet.
It's quite a lovely story so far, and I've been enjoying it.
David is a wise young man, with a wisdom earned from a lifetime of disappointment
and frustration. He is wary of more disappointment, and his wariness keeps him
waiting, causing him more frustration. How does he bear it?
Hope, anticipation,...there are so many reasons.
What a beautiful thing. Beautiful reasons.
A brain tumor! That'll sure dump a shitload of guilt on all of Kei's friends & family.
Alex will need to do a bit of revision of his own now. The whole scenario is bad news.
What'll come of it all? I won't even ask if he has insurance...
Nothing changes a life as fast as an imminent threat upon it.
The bitch is dead! Davy Jones locker indeed!
Our heroes are in for it now though. I can only think of one way out, and it's so
stupid that I won't even mention it, -but I'm sure you'll come up with something
outrageously plausible. Know that we are all hanging on by a thread, or lifeline in
this case. Certainly not over a cliff!
It's good that Siggi made it back from the edge. He's such a mess. I don't know
that I want him messing up our sweet young Gunni with all his dirty laundry.
Siggi has the ability to cause pain, and I suppose I feel protective toward Gunni
as an innocent child should be protected. He is still so young and optimistic.
I think Siggi may ruin that part of him.
Dmitri's such a sleaze, -the whore with a golden heart in a way. I don't want him
to taint Gunni either. Now there's going to be this party in the lair...the den of
iniquity and taint! Poor Gunni, is he off to dance with wolves?
How wild is that? I now actually feel sympathy for Tony. And his ordeal has been
every bit as horrible as anyone else's. It just about broke him. The guy's stand with
him too.
Now, as to Jack and how to deal with him, that's a different matter entirely.
A fascinating idea: Schooldays of the scions of the country's .01%!
Of course I'm curious, -but sort of morbidly so. I like your style and form.
I want to see where you take this
Micah has lived a life full of loss and isolation. That has been the hallmark of his
life. In that aspect he and Casey found common ground. He'd reached out to Casey
and helped him, since his situation was even worse. They gave each other hope.
Some part of that died with Casey, didn't it? At least Micah lives, and he's not alone.
Where is this place? Is it limbo? The Garden of Eden? If it's Eden, then maybe the
strange little man is the Garden Gnome. At least the boys have nice digs in
lock down. Lushness, -but what about dinner? Hmm...maybe not so nice after all.
Pasha could fire up that computer and do a Heaven search. Can he open the window
and call down to somebody on the street? Such uncertainty!
Danger: Drama Ahead! Dylan shouldn't have read anyone's diary, that crosses the
line. that he regret's it already doesn't mean he shouldn't suffer from Matt's fury,
but at least he knows he did wrong, and has been a bad, selfish ape.
So very sad. I had a bad feeling about Casey when Micah left Idaho. His was a tragic
and cruel life. His parents total rejection is an abomination. They should be
held accountable for their sin of intolerance and shunned by humanity. Allow them
to sort through life unwanted and given no support. Let them experience first-hand
the life they forced their child into.
If only the world was a fair place...if only.
I wonder how seeing Casey in that state will affect Micah?
I like the mood, the setting, I've seen similar scenes, so it's all too familiar.
Michael, whatever else he may be, is a real project. This plot is going to be
interesting, I can tell already.
I see things come to a head. It's about reality, and what that means. This one comes
with Destiny and Tradition added. That's a load to bear all at once for anyone.
But Ziyu knows that there is really no better option. Change must happen.
Change is disturbing, but there's no stopping it, -love either.
This is a lovely tale, the atmosphere is charming, and more.
