Chapter 28..... Denoument
stanollie commented on Rigby Taylor's story chapter in Chapter 28..... Denoument
Self-Defense is the most logical conclusion. There is some movement in the U.S. to change mandatory sentencing rules governing judges. These rules are why our prisons are overcrowded with some inmates serving horribly long terms for possession of a little pot. late in the game showing up the inspector as a raving bigot seems a bit disingenuous. But, thank you for another great read. -
I wish I could check “love it” a hundred times. You awakened memories of a college mythology course I loved. I still have the text after sixty-five years. Thank you.

You have awakened a lot of old memories and perfectly captured the fate of many of us. Thanks???

What great way to open Christmas. JJ being likable and aware of his shortcomings? A big surprise, but I don't know how to handle it! Thanks for another good read. I hope the new year is kind to all of us.

How can a presume to review what I am also living. The friends all gone, all the funerals, but I have fooled the ghouls. I donated this hulk to the med.school. I have hidden the stash of pills. Probably won't remember where when I need them. SO, that's enough wallowing, enough pity party. The years aren't golden, but they will be lived. It would be nice to find a hereafter, but my doubts have pretty much erased those hopes. You have given me a great evening of all those wonderful people and times. Maybe that's what's mean't by Golden years.

A beautiful love story. I am a hopeless romantic and hope to hear more of Cal and Davie. I had my own love story for fifty-three years and want everyone to have that kind of love. AND the letter from daddy supplies a great opportunity for a sequel. Thanks for giving me a good, new author to follow.

This is exciting stuff, human ingenuity and all that. BUT one thing about the hydroponics is bugging me. They have young fruit trees in tubs. Won't it be several years before they bear fruit? Or is this really a long-term project?

So sad and so well written. I reject the horror story vampires. I love the vampire heros who retain some human values and nobility. I once wrote a fan letter to Anne Rice asking her to send Lestat to my house where I would lie naked in the back yard waiting for him. She responded that she had a good laugh and might use the idea in a future book. NOT so far. It is impossible for me to imagine what I would do with immortality. The stillness sounds like a good solution. Thanks for the good read.

Been there. Lay in the mud on the side of a Korean mountain holding my friend while he died and I didn't. such waste.

Oh, that is one awful hangover. Trouble is real drunks don't have hangovers. We never got sober long enough to have them. I hope he will get sober before it kills him. So good to work again, to love people again. To wake up again.

I have read so much phantasy and SF, I think always hoping to find this one. I was with them all the way and I want to go back again. I am much older than Grampa, but you made me young again. Thanks!!!

Sojourn, I have loved your writing since first reading Gordy. I think this latest effort has overtaken TR in my private ratings. NOW, as to emails. GA seems to have no problem with sending me several emails a week whenever a staff member posts a new "Great Thought" which I usually find uninteresting if I bother to read them at all! I would happily send private messages if I knew how. Being a borderline computer illiterate I need help. Any offers?

Just a great chapter. I am so remembering a man who was in a similar situation. But with a woman who had become pregnant. I won't say yet what he did but the last time I saw him he was happily married and doing good work. I am curious how Andy will find his way out.

Just, simply, a beautiful chapter. I will never understand how someone who has not been a pretty, bright, little girl can come up with all those wonderful lines. Dicks rekshun? Genius!!
-
Absolutely the best chapter so far. I love the detail of the old bank building. The final "scene" is perfect.
-
WOW!! I'm still giggling about the cowboy scene on the porch. Just a great chapter, full of love and sex and fun.

I'm hooked. No surprise as I am usually happy with Down Under authors. I live in the States and only foreign travel has been a few trips to Europe. "Circumnavigation" was a huge treat and Ausie films can do no wrong. Even a downer like "On the Beach", so beautifully filmed and acted. Let me know if you have anything else on line, or if you can recommend other authors from your part of the world. Thanks for the good start. Johnny

It was so good to read about a gentle caring man. A lifetime ago I met a gentle man and we had fifty three years together before dementia took him from me. I am reminded of a line from a poem, How light the quiet of your touch. Thanks for the great chapter.
-
Already I find myself getting wrapped up in this story, much like I have for some of the great SF that have graced the pages of GA and CRVBOY. Keep it going and I can guarantee fans.
-
What a great chapter in a truly remarkable story. I admire your attention to smallest details, for instance children and Santa and Christmas gifts. On the road from Nirvana to Valhalla is going to be enshrined on my desk. What a good imagination there is in your mind. And oh, how I love to see the bad guys forced to eat S......

I thoroughly enjoyed this beginning and looking forward to the developing story. It is really good to find Humans and their lives central to a SF story.
-
Thank you for a wonderful chapter. My partner and I had fifty-three years together, but the last six saw the awful progression of dementia. Towards the end he had stopped speaking, just lay quietly, but always a little smile and squeeze of the hand when I came into the room. Yes, there is still joy under the sadness.

A trace of someone before
stanollie commented on Stefan's story chapter in A trace of someone before
Certainly in the top ten of fine love scenes I have read. I am drawn to both of these men and want to know more, more, more about them and the other people in their lives. Thanks for a good start and a good read.
