I've never been one for labels. And this poem tells exactly why. It's like the old saying that the pen (words) is mightier than the sword. Very well said Comic!

Thank you Michael! Those are very kind words and I take them to heart. I just let my mind go where it wanted with very little self-control. Really just when it came to ending the chapter where it did. And one can never have too many cheerleaders!!!

OH WOW! Thank you very much. I had good help in the edit department. And I have to say I really enjoyed writing it. I hope I have as much fun writing the rest.

Chapter 1 A New Year Why in the hell did I just do that? I knew what the consequences would be if I got involved. I guess if I had been thinking, it must have been damn the consequences, full speed ahead; because that’s exactly what I did. What was I to do? Just stand there and do nothing? Or worse, walk away? I looked down and offered my hand to Joey. He looked up at me with blood running from his nose. “Tha

A coming of age story about Andy Collins and friends. As he deals with his sexual orientation, he and his friends must also confront abuse and murder in the small mining town of Pine Hills, nestled away in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky. ______________________________________________

Life's curves I don't know, I get so confused sometimes. I listen to people talk, read stories (fiction, i know) and like all stories there's usually a grain of truth in them. They do came from someone's experiences. Like it's been said, there's nothing new under the sun. Years ago I admitted to a friend that being gay scared me not because of what other people thought, since I had been through so much already by the age of 27 to worry with opinions not my own. It scared me because I never saw any older gay couples and I didn't want to die alone. I think the fear of dying alone made me reach out through the internet to feel close to more people since I was limited at home. Through all the chemo, radiation, and other crap I had to deal with, I was always scared of dying alone. I mean I knew my parents would always be there for me, but I mean that someone, that special someone. Yet the more I learn about life, the more I feel alone. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'm not in remission yet, but I should be soon. So, I guess I'm getting better. There's still the bone marrow transplant donor to find and do. But, things are looking better again. Yet, I also see now that I missed out on so much as a teenager. I think I would trade my life today to have had a normal life as a teenager. Making all the mistakes and finding the new experiences. I guess I'm making a fool of myself. Tonight I set up most of the night reading a long story on nifty and envied the characters, even the sad ones. At least they got to experience life. I guess after so many years of battling my battles, I'm starting to become a little bitter over it. I do treasure my online friends, even some of the old guys that pretended to be teens before they either literally died from old age or disappeared. Life isn't always fair, in fact, it rarely is. But, I have to have the hope and belief that if you pour yourself into life, in the long run, it's all worth it. I am however real enough to know that's not always true. And it saddens me to see people have to deal with the worst life can throw at you. I wish the world wasn't like that. And like I said earlier, I dunno why I'm writing this, but here it is, raw, unedited me. Please, if you feel you can't take anymore, it will get better. There's nothing life can throw at us that we can't over come or find a way around it, it will get better. Nothing last forever, including the bad times, it will get better. Reach out to someone, talk to someone, share your feelings, it will get better. Never ever give up, it will get better. There are organizations that are there to help us through the bad times, it will get better. The Trevor Project is just one of those, reach out to them, support their work, it will get better. The Trevor Project

I've said it once and I'll say it again, you're a very naughty boy!

Oh My God!!! It's not like I have any insight to what the ending is going to be. It's just a feeling I wish Richie would be understanding, but if you have spent months trying to prepare yourself for death only to be thrown into the life of darkness, you might be a little bitter. But I do feel that in the end, Richie will play a key role in helping Justin save Taryn from what everyone thinks is his fate. I can't accept that Justin will save the world and bring everyone together only to lose his true love. If it ends up that way, I will be truly disappointed.

I don't believe in destiny. Or at least in that it means fated to happen. I believe where there is free will, there's hope. Where there is hope, all things are possible. Especially since there is an author that can make anything happen Perhaps the answer does lie in the circles. Maybe seeing the interconnections between people and events that leads to events can allow Justin to accomplish what's best for all and save Taryn as well. But, as I sometimes say, Time Tells All Tales.

I already have a feeling Richie isn't going to like being a vampire and may end up being more like Taryn's brother.

I already read it and said I liked it

I agree with you Mike. Justin's love for his friend and mother even with his troubles at school, his mother's drinking. his father walking out. and his friend's cancer, had a hook in my heart, like you, from the beginning. Not to mention his kick ass extra!

Sorry, I'm a bad boy.

Thank you Mark, and you're more than cool, you're awesome!
