I couldn't agree move!

@Lutheros Thanks so much for the feedback and encouragement! Reader999's comment alerted me to the POV problems, and I've since gone back and revised the chapter to correct them. If you get a chance to look at the updated version, I'd love to know whether you still see any POV slips that I may have missed. Thanks again for reading and for your support. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

You're welcome @drsawzall 😄

Thanks @Modified Cub I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

RIP Actor Tom Skerritt - Top Gun, Alien, Contact, M*A*S*H
Enoch replied to Myr's topic in The Lounge
I had no ideal he was 93 years old. He certainly was a gifted actor. RIP Tom. -
I'm sorry @Myr but some people just can’t help being as contrary as a mule with their condescending ways. A few of these comments sound eerily like my old college professor — the kind who realizes they’re no longer relevant or doesn’t appreciate when someone tries to do something for the community without asking for a dime in return.

Thanks for pointing that out, Reader999. I really appreciate you taking the time to read closely and bring the POV inconsistency to my attention. You’re right — the published version of Chapter 3 still had a few leftover lines from an earlier draft before I shifted everything fully into Andy’s first‑person voice. I’ve already corrected the chapter in my working manuscript, and I’ll update the posted version so it stays consistent. Thanks again for the careful eye and the helpful feedback. It means a lot.

Echoes of Purpose Chapter 3 The gym was alive with motion and murmurs when I pushed through the doors, the white boxer trotting faithfully at my side. Roger, Joey, Sammy, and Robert followed close behind, their clothes still damp from the rain, faces drawn but proud. The sheriff stood near the entrance, clipboard in hand, his voice carrying authority as he greeted Mr. Johnson—the head of one of Pine Hills’ banks—with a firm handshake. The man’s suit was wrinkled, his compos

Thank you @Topher Lydon, this coming from you, means a lot!

I swear, every time Myr posts a Word of the Day, I discover a whole new corner of English I’ve never visited. At this point, I’m convinced my vocabulary is basically duct tape and vibes. I am sooooo uncultured.

The poem explores the truth that not everyone who walks beside you is meant to stay. Each couplet reflects on how people enter our lives, share moments, and sometimes drift away. The refrain “beside you” reinforces the theme of closeness that isn’t always permanent.

Not Everyone Who Walks Beside You Some hearts stay only for a season, though they walk beside you. Love teaches its hardest lessons in the ones who leave beside you. A quiet road remembers every footstep, every promise made beside you. Yet even the softest vow can fade, for not all are meant to stay beside you. In storms, you learn the weight of truth — who shelters, who hides beside you. Rain reveals the faithful few, and washes away the rest beside you.

Thanks. It really means a lot to hear feedback!

Thank you. It took a little while to write, but I like it too.

A mythic retelling of the American Revolution told as an epic poem. Ordinary colonists rise into heroic figures as they confront an empire and fight for liberty. Blending history with legendary imagery, the poem follows their trials, sacrifices, and triumphs as fate, courage, and unseen forces shape the birth of a new nation. It is a narrative of struggle, hope, and the forging of a republic.

THE STAR‑FORGED REPUBLIC I. The Dawn Before the Storm Before the Republic had a name, before the eagle learned its cry, the land lay under ancient chains and kings across the ocean sky. The forests whispered liberty, the rivers murmured restless dreams, and in the mountains’ shadowed keep the gods stirred in their hidden streams. From Chesapeake to northern snows, from Georgia’s pines to Boston’s stone, a quiet f

The Thanks belongs to you for your awesome comment. You sir, have made my day after a very long and challenging day.

Thank you @Lutheros. I look forward to posting the next one for people like you!

Thank you. Andy really does have a good heart,

Echoes of Purpose Chapter 2 The sirens started before dawn. Roger was already at my door, half‑dressed and wide‑eyed. Pine Hills had always been steady, predictable — until that morning. Whatever peace our parents built here was about to be tested. The phone rang just after first light. I heard Robert pick up, his voice low. The judge’s voice carried through the static, steady but strained: “It’s going to be historic, Robert. Protect Andy at all costs.” I didn’t need R

He does live in a two‑story home on a hill. Pine Hills gets its name from the hills and pine trees surrounding the town. It’s not a mansion — just an eight‑room family home with a separate garage and driveway. Thanks for the comment — I hope this clears up any confusion.

Russia's data centers are being hit by Ukraine so maybe that's where it was coming from.
