Don't ask me how I knew that Barry's symptoms were pyhsical responses to Dav's injuries...but my heart sank...reading and confirming my worst suspicions. As much as I detest cliffies, you have fully captured my thoughts as to how this horrible news will unfold. Rex, please, please, please .....................................Mike

Glad to see Bulldog listening to Bubba's explanations to his opposition to the Olympus property....oft times, we can dig our heels in and become defensive of our position. Financial inequity between partners can be a death knell if both partners are alpha males.....as are B & B. Ultimately,communication and respect for each is necessary to strengthen and maintain a happy thriving relationship......and you've shown us here that both are in good supply for our guys. Although I don't consider myself to be a jealous man.........I would definitely address the situation with Chuck.......WITH Chuck. Rex, as always, you have given us a superb chapter......from the icy car ride (been there)........heated arguments (been there).......realization of selfish behavior (been there)........incredible make up sex (been there) quiet declarations of love (been there) So relatable, believable Mike

Your sharing of Thomas' death was beautifully written. Thanks for such a powerful story Mike

Reading this story makes me homesick as I grew up in the Florida keys swimming dayly carefree with only my swim trunks and flip flops .....didn't wear much of anything else.....those were the days Can't wait to learn the back story of Thomas' death......great chapter ..... Mike

It's one thing to be ignored but altogether unacceptable being physically abused. Martin has become worse than those at the laboratory who treated Casey like some "fish" . independence from your parents is a strong yearning and Casey has now felt that yearning.....hopefully he can assert himself before Martin causes him more harm. Great read!!!!!! mike

An author, huh? Nice touch:) Mike

Martin has a depth of grief and anger that will destroy him if he doesn't begin to move forward in his life. Casey has the unique problem of missing Thomas, but living with Martin who has yet to deal with his loss.......but it's not his loss alone......it's a shared loss.....Hope he realizes this soon, for both their sakes. And,.........lose that damn collar Mike....................GREAT JOB !!!!!!!

I like your style of storytelling.......think I'm going to enjoy this tale.....just enough info to keep me wanting more !!!!!! Mike

This chapter finds both Bubba and Bulldog pursuing individual paths. They have been joined at the hip since this whole saga began....I hope that their paths don't continue to make them so involved in their professional lives that they begin to uncouple and drift apart. Dave's pronouncement that they can't have Olympus is problematic for me......I trust there is a story for this...it sounds so un-Dave-like. He's been up to this point very supportive of anything that Barry wants or needs.......can't imagine what his reservation is.....cost? Anyway, very good job Rex......I feel like you're peeling the onion, showing us another level to B&B......I also like the fact that a morning cup of coffee in boxers is so universal.........lol Mike

Wow.....Don't think I've ever been captivated so quickly......Writing is so concise and painfully evoking of "medical aloofness" that I want to grab Casey from that table!!!!! On to the next chapter............ Mike

Rex, I like that Bulldog is setting up their lives in NOLA....It sends a clear message that he is committing his future with Bubba. He just needs to make sure that Bubba is on board with all his preparations and plans...I think he is A lot of information laid out here.....I'm sure all of it necessary to set up what I expect to be quite an exciting adventure for our pair. I've got a feeling that the hurricane that was Dallas may take a new course and head directly toward NOLA..... I'll keep an eye of the Weather Channel !!!!!!!!! Good foundation for upcoming excitement............can't wait................... Mike

Good to see Joe and Rex here..........I've finally caught up with you; reading multiple chapters back to back to back.......totally connected with every detail and emotion. Now,I have to be like all the other readers and wait for each chapter to post......don't know how well I can cope with that.....It's like I'm addicted to a drug and need my next fix............NOW Seriously, the quality of every aspect of Landfall is superb.........you are a master storyteller........ Mike

Can't for the life of me think of a better choice for a Realtor than than Robert Rex........maybe he can show them available listings......lucky man !!!!!!!!!!!!! Very sensual Mike

I'm sure Barry completely understands that there are no guarantees in this life..........so he latches onto the one remaining constant in his life and moves forward. Glad to see that neither wants to dictate THEIR future to the other. Chapter 21 is titles Bring it on!.........I wholeheartedly agree.... BRING IT ON ...........Mike

I don't trust the AD............Fast paced.......LOVE LOVE LOVE........ Mike

Severe depression kills your will to live; I know first hand and you recreated it for us with just a few paragraphs. Tough, personally to read, but excellent writing without being preachy. Barry and Dave have a plate full to deal with ..............and THEY hopefully will.........THANKS :)Mike

I totally agree with the other comments..Frank is really dead and gone,,,,,,,,,The silence after his initial unveiling screamed that fact.............POWERFUL Mike

You can navel-gaze and over-think things for hours, or learn by living. Go Barry.............Love this pace.............Going to take a shower now, then on to next chapter !!!!!!!!!!! Mike

Robert, I'm never disappointed.....The fast paced, yet detail laden manner in which you've written so far takes my breath away sometimes...........On to 16 Mike

Robert, I must have screwed up while leaving a comment for chapter 12, so I'll combined to cover 13 as well: 12-Relief that everyone survived the staged assassination, compassion for Barry upon the realization of the loss of his sons in the future life and the acceptance that he was the cause of all the crap. Barry's strength and love for for his boys is his sole motivation now.........But not really........there's Dave to consider 13-Great to finally hear what's going on in Dave's head !!!! This story would be great on the big screen...........IMAX3D........I would even buy the DVD Mike

Hate this development, but your writing is perfection Mike

The only negative thing about Barry's personality, is his ability to compartmentalize different aspects of his life.. I understand; just don't like it, It's funny when his boxes keep opening and he has to deal with issues unprepared. I do respect his selective honesty; he IS a crook remember, and hope that he can find redemptive love with his sons and Dave.....love me some Dave Mike

EXCELLENT..............I can't believe that you're a new author; this work is just EXCELLENT Mike

I've always been fascinated by those who question their attraction to another person by immediately attaching labels. Barry has admitted that men in general don't "do it for him" but Dave certainly does. And he is increasingly acting on this mutual attraction.......good on him Somehow, Robert, you have the ability to create a time and place that is easily relateable. You should be proud that your words have that power. I actually felt like tagging along during their shopping and who hasn't been aggressively approached by an interested stranger.....and to decline; sometimes not too politely....HA I won't comment on the kissing and BJs as I thinks you may know how that affected my usual composed southern sensibilities LOVE LOVE LOVE LANDFALL................ Mike
