    Chapter Eighteen

    Easier said than done by a fifteen-year-old....

    Chapter Eighteen

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Eighteen

    Finally! Yes! Owen still needs to find the strength to be himself. But now he knows more about himself and he knows what he will be standing up for. It won't be easy, though...

    Chapter Seventeen

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Seventeen

    Owen says no to Margot for the first time, if I remember correctly. That is what struck me most. And he feels attracted to Ryder and welcomes it. What Margot thinks and does seems unimportant in that light.

    Chapter Fifteen

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Fifteen

    I hope that Owen will somehow get out of the promises he had given by not contradicting Margot and the mothers. He has been silent all throughout. I wonder when he will find his voice... And I wonder what the last days with the children will teach Owen. And what finally will make him stand up for himself. He has grown inside. The only ones to know are Beth and Ryder. I guess it will be Jules who may shake her girlfriend back into her senses. The rest is blinded.

    Chapter Fourteen

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Fourteen

    Margot's reaction strikes me as callous. She does not see Owen and his despair. Owen's reaction to Ellie's distress was so beautiful to see. Beth seems to be the only one to actually "see" him apart from the seahorses, aptly named - delicate and precious...

    Chapter Thirteen

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Thirteen

    This will soon explode or Owen will lose himself completely. I wonder what it will take to stop Margot from continuing their destructive charade. She is driving Owen into utter desperation by outperforming any actrice. Does she not realize what she is doing to him? Either Jules will put out an ultimatum or Owen might do something desperate.

    Chapter Twelve

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Twelve

    Has Owen told lies? I can't remember any. He is briliant at not mentioning things and letting people fill in the gaps as they like in my eyes.

    Chapter Twelve

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Twelve

    I do not agree fully. Standing up for yourself, being yourself in such a narrow-minded family must be very hard to do. The problem is that such lies and covers have a way of taking on a life of their own. You add one lie to the other because it is easier than admitting the truth. With every lie coming out gets harder. Margot slipped. Jules sees through her but she still trusts her. I guess that Owen will break at one point. He will want to break out because otherwise he will lose Ryder.

    Chapter Eight

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter Eight

    Superb contrast between real Owen and Owen the performance. Killer end of chapter. Very gripping and intense.

    Yes, very insightful of the boys. Things however, are going so well now that there must be some problems coming from somewhere. My guess is from the ex-wives...

    What Horses Know

    mayday commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in What Horses Know

    Thank you for posting early! This is a delight to read. I love those tiny steps Taggert is making towards trust and Ash. And Ash's power of observation.

    I guess we are set up for a contrast in attitudes towards money. The twins' partners + Nathan versus the ex-wives. I would like to know what is going on with Martin's younger son. I cannot imagine him happy at home without his siblings. The party will give us a chance to meet him, I hope.

    Shelter

    mayday commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Shelter

    We do not get tornados over here. But I felt the danger and its immense force in every sentence. Unbelievable that a storm can strip the ground bare... Can't wait for the next chapter.

    Beautiful ending. Thank you for sharing.

    Chapter 26

    mayday commented on mastershakeme's story chapter in Chapter 26

    And they will all pretend either to have seen nothing or that they had always known that something about George was wrong... No, Pam did not " know", but she shut her eyes and ears to the truth, like too many mothers have done, who could not/would not believe what their instincts told them. Looking the other side, or, in the worst case, blaming the victim is far easier than blaming the perpetrator. She has a hard road to go now. But there is hope for Colt and Noah. Which is all that counts in my eyes.

    Great chapter! Great story telling. But hard to read, just like other chapters here.

    Chapter 25

    I feared the same for a moment, but dismissed that thought at once.... Now I am not so sure...

    Chapter 25

    Heavy.

    This almost sounds like an ending. And a much better one than I could have imagined in the beginning. Thank you for sharing.
  20. mayday
    Beautiful climax. Now the antagonist will get his chance, I'm afraid...

    I feel with the mother. Difficult to believe that your baby has been making you bleed for years. That he has been blinding you with lies and charm. I admire James and Evan for acting in such a considerate and circumspect way. Once Sam is desperate enough things will explode..
  22. mayday
    True colours now obvious for all to see. I guess James' mother was the dutiful wife, allowing her hisband to lay down the law. I cannot - or rather do not want to - believe she now latches on to her eldest son out of opportunism.

    Part 1

    mayday commented on Mark Ponyboy Peters's story chapter in Part 1

    A fascinating beginning. I wonder what kind of storytelling Tony will experience there. He is open enough to accept the unconventional and 'different'. Otherwise Jack would not have fetched him.
  24. mayday
    That is what I fear for them, to be weaponised by their mother...

    Natasha is just starting her vendetta. I guess we can expect anything and everything. Good that Martin has enough financial clout, family and friends to fight her harrassment. His security measures at home might be good but probably need to be perfected, especially as the guys will continue in their private backyards as they wish. Obviously, Natascha and truthfulness are two opposites. Still, as the saying here goes: Just sling enough mud and some of it will stick... Let us not forget that her children will suffer from her pretense and her actions.
