I guess Jared’s death was mob justice??? Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Accidentally hit post twice

Great chapter, laughed out loud at the Don Quixote-esque image of Rick and the plunger sword. But now you have a dilemma — to steal a line from Fiddler on the Roof, a bird and a fish can fall in love but where will they make their home? Curious to see whether you have painted yourself into a corner and whether (how) you give them a future together. Good luck😂 I am looking forward to the upcoming chapters (Please!)

More! I want more! Don’t wanna wait! 😂

I just came across this today. It is developing into an interesting story. You have a very nice, accessible writing style. I look forward to see where this takes you.
-
Thank you for a wonderful read. I am going to miss this but I trust you will be back soon?
-
Please don’t be a stranger around here! Come back soon. You are good company.

You are one of those very rare authors who I do not want to see posting stories — because it means we are one step closer to the end. Another beautifully written chapter.
-
Your descriptions of the villages and countryside are so on the spot. It is a truly a gift to have this story back.
-
What a delight to have you characters, villages and you back. I am looking forward to reading this.
-
Fantastic!

Sorry but customer service comes with the supervisory territory, even if the customer is annoying and even if the cashier who should have handled it in the first place did not. Sounds a little whine-y and self-absorbed to me. Please no flames LOL. (Edit: to be clear, I like the story and I think you are spot on in capturing the reaction. I am just reacting to the character.)

WOW! Great end to the chapter. Never knew or heard of this kind of power from any other story I have read. Great unique twist! Well done.

Chapter 20 Epilogue: The Promised Land
starboardtack commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 20 Epilogue: The Promised Land
This lovely and loving ending was a welcome antidote to the tragic ending of Brokeback Mountain. If memory serves, at the very beginning of this story you were concerned about dialect — I think you did a good job with both dialect and dialogue. Many thanks for a good story. -
I look forward to reading that companion story!

I have been learning about kintsugi recently. That is the Japanese art of taking a broken object and repairing it such that the breaks and cracks are highlighted with gold rather than hidden. This makes the object even more meaningful, stronger, and more beautiful. All I could do while reading the story is think how that cup could be made whole again, with its wounds and flaws make an organic part of the whole. Then I thought about the broken relationship in your story and wondered whether there is a human version of kintsugi.

Your Breakfast is My Dinner

I cannot string together enough superlatives to express how much I enjoyed and learned from this chapter as a whole but especially when you were describing your co-workers. This is turning out to be a great read! Many thanks. -
It is so great to have this "family" back. I am so looking forward to this story.

Chapter 17 Lessons Learned
starboardtack commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 17 Lessons Learned
Enjoyed this chapter and for some reason, these are my favorite lines: "Coy looked up at him with eyes sparkling. “This is fun, sure enough.” Boone almost choked when laughter bubbled up at the man’s happy expression, and he fell in love with him just a little bit more. “Glad you’re enjoying yourself.”" Maybe it is the sense of wonder that can be a part of first encounters and discoveries. Nice writing. -
You are back! What a great way to start the New Year. This is promising to be a very interesting journey with Lee and the others. Looking forward to spending time with you and with them.

Why do I have a suspicion that Havnar is not so innocent in all this? After all, he wants to cleanse the earth of humans and this just moves his agenda forward. Hmmmm.
