Could this be Purgatory? Or is it just Hell? Living it all over again, knowing you've done it all before, only it was different the last time. To have to re-live those years again in particular!

When does Micah get to be a kid? Betty has some really selective vision problems going on to not see that she's pushing him too hard.

I am amazed how many new threads you have added to this tapestry. We have a new filly, impending Devon, lonely Ace, an ever present threat from Mattie's greedy family schemers, and others. Not enough of Maxie lately. The fact that I can keep up would be doubtful if it wasn't all put together so well, and if it wasn't such a good story, - it is a joy to read.

I'd like to know more about Jeremy. He's absolutely ironic, -and look what he does! Our boys move over the land like a twister cloud over Oklahoma in summer. Watch out G-man!

Meet David, a typical yet not so typical 13 year-old boy dealing with puberty, insecurity, sexuality, anxiety, and all the other stuff that plagues teenagers at a vulnerable time in life. I loved the way you portrayed that here. It seems that his parents are not all mired in religious dogma and have a modern logical mindset. He's lucky with that. I can't help but compare David's father to Micah's mom and her set-in-concrete views. What a difference!

It is a lovely opening. Ziyu seems to be a mild but tenacious character. San is somewhat of an unknown. The story told of the emperor was sad and haunting. Is there a new story brewed with those special tea leaves? We'll see...

Micah loves the new violin, but it is quite a load of responsibility for a 13 year old. I see a bit of pressure mounting, but he's on a high from the wonder of it all. He certainly wants to please everyone. Can it last? He is just a kid though, and I tend to bristle at those people who want to mandate a child's life and future.

I can't help but feel sorry for Micah and his predicament. This time travel has some definite side affects as he continues to have these white-out moments. He's definitely been used, and even though it may all be for virtuous reasons and is allowing him to correct mistakes made in his life, it still has to be a painful and confusing experience all the same. It makes me think of a bug in a bottle. There's no way of avoiding it either. He can do everything all over and make it better this time, but is he always going to be cursed with the confusion the past, the future, and the moment at hand? What are any of those anyway? It's all in a state of fluctuation. What is the present in his life? I find this is a fascinating story.

As they butcher and pack up Emma, I think of that movie 'Eating Raul' -an old fav. What a wonderful combination of the mundane and gruesomeness. Somehow, I sense Victor views the magical rites of vampire creation with some distaste. He also has a jealous nature. It seems silly to be so, since Jeremy's just a lowly pig farmer. Or is he? I'm really enjoying this story.

Chapter 33 - The Night of Our Lives Part 2
Stephen commented on Nephylim's story chapter in Chapter 33 - The Night of Our Lives Part 2
Hmmm... A new problem arises. Who's the angel with the sword? Won't our two heroes ever get some down time? Life as an angel can be hell, it seems. -
Micah's in for some really big changes, -that is if Betty goes for it. I think she'll have reservations over him staying with two gay men, but I can't see her turning down such an opportunity. She is after all living part of her own dreams through Micah. I'm enjoying this story, and it's a pleasure to read since it's so well written in such a fluid, clear way.

Gunni is very lucky that he has people who he can talk to about things like his love life. Jo's advise about the nature of love is as good as it gets. At 16, restraint isn't much of an option, and wisdom doesn't often prevail. How does anyone really offer advise to a teenager? At least Gunni has someone to talk to, so he's better off than most.

New things emerge on the horizon for Nate & Jeff. Looks like Nate's going to have to learn about letting go of his jealous nature and trust Jeff. That can be a big stretch for someone who's always had to fight to keep anything he wanted. There's so much about himself that he doesn't appreciate or trust. Insecurity. Good things are brewing and he'll need to act or miss out, and he is an active creature by nature. I'm enjoying this tale, and it does keep surprising me as things develope, the way Nate's learning and growing up, and falling in love.

Micah does like to poke around in attics. I always liked that too, -you never know what you'll find. Garages are cool, but attics are usually better. My bet is that Micah will be back up there at the first opportunity. Everything he's found so far only whet his appetite, and he does have an inquiring mind.

This story amazes me. Immortality has to make one see things from a unique perspective. It makes some critical adjustments regarding morality, and certainly regarding mortality.But it's also a curse. How will Matt's new mate change him? Will it relieve the abject boredom and dissatisfaction with his endless life? I'm fascinated.

Can things get any more complicated for Zune? The poor guy gets tossed out of a tornado into a minefield! He loves Kevin, but can't ignore Edward, and that's going to be sticky at best. Even if it works out, then there's Edward's asshole father to contend with, and that won't be pretty. Suddenly 'Uncle Matt' looks to be coming back into the picture. I see more stormy weather ahead...

We meet Alexi's US family, and they're a lively bunch. I was sort of expecting a more formal setting, and was pleasantly surprised to find they seem like a nice folks. The cousins are especially lively. They're winning the war so far, so I hope you plan on giving Joshua and Alexi a chance to even the score! The overall feeling is that Alexi's family all care about him, and that's what matters. They like Josh too, and that's a good thing.

EEEWWW! Grizzly! What a mess. HA! ...And to think he could do that until she either goes crazy or dies of old age. Amazing concept, delightfully hideous. She will talk!

This is one hell of a chapter. Everything is so real, -the storm, the fear, ...the tension almost unbearable. Four souls and three beating hearts? Oh no...!
