Awwww, time marches on and some of us are lucky enough to make amends and have what was meant to be. Lovely story Cole. I love the place and time. Great story!
Very insightful and lots of food for thought. The thought of these things happening is not unheard of and you did a great job presenting it. Thanks, Bill.
To me there's no happy medium for the victims of abuse. They either fight for survival or give up. Those that try to live normally and act like all is well continue the pattern. This is well written and very heartbreaking. Although it's one of the most prevalent crimes of today, no one knows how much of it actually goes on and will never know because of the victim's guilt. Great job Wayne!
One of the if not the most powerfully written stories I've ever read. You took a young man's infatuation and turned it into the turmoil of death, heartbreak, and the guilt of living after your reason for being alive is gone. Such a lot of emotion in one so young. His pain is with him forever.
What a wonderful take on the Anthology and great writing, Rob. Thank you for sharing.
When I read stories like this one and probably many more of the Anthologies this time, I find it impossible to say, "I love it." Your writing is great. You took the theme and made your mark with it, letting it overflow with pain and sadness that completely defines "scars". It's just hard to love such things that we know go on everyday in this crazy world. Thanks for sharing and as always, "great writing."
When I go shopping or whatever, I try to find the hubby a new dvd to watch. It's been like hunting a needle in a haystack lately. He'd wonder what I was thinking if I brought him the new releases. It's a chore to find a good movie. I actually found a great m/m movie on Netflix, and he loved it. It was not all sex as much as it was a great storyline a good characters. He was absorbed in all of it. That's why I hate for people to view Gay movies as and 'in the box' thing. There's a lot of meaning and enjoyment out there. Also come great comedy. I saw him perusing the other gay movies and he even watched 'Yossi" but said it was too sad for him. He's an action guy
Did I tell you how happy I was to see another story from you? It's a great one at that. The guys seem in such harmony to be a threesome. Most of the time someone would feel like a third wheel. They have a relationship to be envied. Of course Hannibal has a mind of his own. Now, I'm wondering who is going to grab Jeff's interest?
BTW, I thought it was sweet that the guys asked Jeff to stay another night. Very thought of them and the author.
My heart hurt for Jeff, but you humor in the chapter was right on. I loved when he called Hannibal a bastard. It was so funny. And of course, your beginning sounded just like an old married couple. I'm wondering how much time has lapsed. I'm sure it'll be somewhere. Great beginning. Thank you.
I wash my hands so many times a day that my when we're frozen up during the winter at work my Boss sends someone to town to get me Baby Wipes. I use hand sanitizer like crazy and my daughter and grandson do also. They refuse to use a public restroom. I finally got past that.
I hate dirty clothes. If there's just a couple of pieces to be washed, I do it. I know that's crazy, but I do. When I'm cooking, I wash every dish as I go along and I don't want anyone else in the kitchen with me.
Taylor Swift will marry Justin Bieber and their name in the tabloids? Beswift
Parks will no longer be nice soft grass you can sit in but AstroTurf instead.
Slum areas will become even more prevalent.
