It's unfortunate that the sad parts of the story seem to take precedence over Devon's great artistic triumph. I'm glad that you gave him a chance to shine at the beginning, Andrew. Something nice needed to come from this chapter.

Thanks, Joann. I appreciate your words.

I'm very happy that you like the story, Podiumdavis. Thank you so much for the review.

Stephen, thank you. You're so nice to keep reading.

I'm perfectly happy to let you win. It's all about where the words take you. Thank you for your review, Knotme.

Sandbox By RL Hunter Thomas Aaron Gage or Tag as known by his initials is six years and one week old today. If you asked him what the highlight of his birthday was, he would tell you that it was the video call that he got from his daddy. It was the bestest day ever according to Tag. Today like most days during summer vacation, Tag woke up earlier than his mommy did. Dragging his teddy bear, Mr. Winkles down the stairs a thumpa, thumpidy, thump, he made his way to the kitchen f

First impression - There are a lot of insecure young men in this video.

Yes. Yes they are. Thank you for commenting, Colin.

I'm sorry? Thank you for reviewing, Aditus.

Glad I could help, Joann. Thanks for the review.

I tackled Prompt 276 as well. Here you will find 'Affection'.

Affection By RL Hunter Mark sat alone in the sunroom looking out at his back yard and feeling sorry for himself. If he were not at work, he would prefer to be out having fun in the city somewhere with his boyfriend. Instead, on a beautiful sunny day he was sitting on his wicker couch with his leg propped up with several pillows on the coffee table. His friend David had left to pick up some ibuprofen at the drugstore a minute or so earlier after helping him prop up his leg and opening s

Nor should anyone want to take away your albums. There is enjoyment in vinyl to be sure and the album artwork can be fantastic. Keep in mind that they can also be transferred to digital and that is great if they are unattainable on CD and you want to listen to them on the fly when you are not at home.

Just so you know, 28 months after posting, you still have readers for this story. I finished 'The List' in 4 sessions and it was an interesting adventure. At first the sex stuck out like a itch that needs a scratch and it was highly arousing. But just like watching too much porn, over a few chapters the sex became... well, not boring but another facet of the story. Then I realize the story had been leaking in all along even though the sex could be misconstrued to be the thrust of it at the beginning. You tell the story in a exciting and lively manner that doesn't bog down when it gets a bit heavy. That is truly a sign of a good craftsmen and story teller.

I used to rent a lot and Blockbuster was one of the places I rented from. Now like a few of you I use Netflix and a bit of Amazon Prime but I mostly buy the BluRay disc of the movies and older TV series. It's cheaper to buy a movie for two people and watch it at home than to watch it in the theater. It's a trade off for screen size but I can go to the bathroom anytime I want and not miss a thing. Additionally most movies include a digital copy nowadays so I can pretty much watch movies anywhere I want. I do occasionally buy or rent a movie or TV series from Apple iTunes as well. It's curious that some have mentioned cutting cable TV. I attempted to do that this summer with Comcast Cable. Unfortunately, my internet cost would have increased. It seems that my internet comes at a subsidized price as long as I maintain the basic TV portion whether I use it or not. Internet + Basic Cable TV (includes HDTV channels) = $60.00 Internet alone = $69.00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! KC

You could say the same about your front door but we don't necessarily panic about that all of the time do we. Or, do we? It's all in your comfort level. The only time I have ever truly been surprised was once, when reaching for my drink, the plane hit turbulence and suddenly dropped. My drink seemed to pop right up into my hand and I grabbed it without spilling a drop. It was pretty cool and scary at the same time.

A kid leaves a toy on the floor = Ouch! Give a kid a little bit of power = Ouch! Unfortunately for poor Ayla, this is what happens in life sometimes. As adults, often we have to grin and bear it and especially when we have no choice. I like this, Kitt.

My graduating class was much smaller. Thanks for commenting, Wayne.

Do you think they will film it? I would like to play art critic but I can't make the show. All kidding aside, I have very mixed feelings about this.

Thank you, Slytherin. I did have a cheering section to please.

Oh you do, do you? I guess I couldn't have gotten this far without some idea of who is behind curtain No.1 Thanks, Joann.

Ben is not so unlucky, just fallen on hard times. He is a well adjusted guy, despite his high school days. Thanks for commenting, Stephen.

Make a Connection By R.L. Hunter Ben Taggard was just about to sit down and eat a fried bologna sandwich with mustard and ketchup for lunch. He rather liked bologna sandwiches but eating one for the reason that money was tight and he had gone over his food budget, and the cupboard was rather spare… not so much. The first bite was delicious despite his circumstances and he was just about to take another when the doorbell rang. ‘Why not?’ He thought to himself and got up to answer the door.

Ha! Looks like somebody got hooked.
