    Thanks Dolores!!! Yes, the religion has recently gained many adherents. It's quite detailed and connected to the earth and yet quite spiritual. Thanks so much for the comments!!

    It was a crate full of junk, as Red surmised. Red/Boyd knew in his mind what was going on. His heart was headed in a different direction. He was conflicted, and the finding of nothing, finally resolved it. Thanks so much for the question and for reading it!!! I had a blast writing it.

    Thanks Drought! Hal was never going to be good for him. Boyd needed to 'find himself' and remembering his childhood and his traditions helped him. I think he mother whispering helped as well. I hope I didn't offend anyone!!! There's nothing wrong with tattoos or Yuppers. I love them both!!! I appreciate the comments!

    What a lovely story. You could feel the sense of their connection. Thanks for sharing!

    The Treasure of Escanaba “Another Hamm’s, Red?” The young man nodded, his scalp gleaming beneath the glow of the red bar lights. Festooned around the mirror were strands of fake gray cobwebs, sprinkled with black cardboard spiders in the corners. Typical. “Is Hal meeting you here?” the bartender asked as he flicked the cap from the bottle of cheap beer. The sodden, blue label was peeling from the brown glass. He set the brew down with a clink in front of guy. Red picked up

    Red and his best friend Hal go on a quest. They are looking for buried treasure and for all their dreams to come true.

    Twyla really symbolizes caretakers and how they are expected to carry so much weight. She's got so many worries, but I think she's also a grounded person. You'll see soon enough she is strong but not afraid to ask for help. Thank you so much for the note about Twyla's struggle. I'm really trying to portray her story as well.
  11. Cole Matthews
    Yeah, there are certainly greedy lawyers. I think Twyla figures she needs a little justice for her brother and that wasn't the right place to get it. Thanks for the comment!!

    It's unfortunate that the legal process can be misused. There are plenty of people who abuse the system. Sometimes the system can abuse an innocent as well. I'm glad the story had an impact on you. I love getting people to think. Thanks for the interesting and engaging comments.

    Cracks Appear Susceptible to numerous disease problems including blights, powdery mildew, leaf spots and cankers. It also is visited by many insect pests including aphids, scale, borers, lacebugs and caterpillars. Wood is weak and tends to crack. Branches may be damaged by ice and snow. Litter from leaves, twigs and branches may be a problem. Shallow roots may clog sewers or drains and make gardening underneath the trees difficult.

    That is a wicked good story! Thanks so much for bringing Halloween to life like this. 👍

    Morgan turned to face his stalker; the bright light blinding him as the shadow approached. The weight of the tire iron reassured him, though his mouth was parched with fear.

    Ran will have to read this story. He’s terrified of spiders and this is deliciously sinister! 👍

    I love seeing other people compare the elements to people. In elevators, observe how people chose where they stand. Four people who don't know each other will be spaced at equal distances from each other. People with affinities to one another gravitate together, while those without affinities (bonds) will space themselves from the others also at equal distances. We are controlled by our bonds and affinities, it's true. Great job!!!

    I liked these poems very much. The first one was lovely and the second one evocative. But, I liked the third one the best because it really portrays friendship in a way that is so shockingly true. Oftentimes, friendship is something overlooked, but in this poem, you show in depth how powerful and necessary good friendships are. Very, very impactful.

    Clay's coming up again soon. Next up, we have Twyla dealing with her husband's illness and a memory of her brother. There is another aspect to Jake she recalls. Thanks for the comment!

    He's a teenager. I doubt he'll volunteer the information to Rush and Ben. However, that doesn't mean it won't get out. Thanks!
  21. Cole Matthews
    When you get the job you dream of, it can either disappoint or when it's gone, it's like the death of a loved one. For Rush, it's definitely a funeral. He's without a job at this point, but I have a sneaking suspicion he'll be part of solving this mystery. It''s hard for him though, and for Clay as well. Thanks for the great comments.
  22. Cole Matthews
    I'm glad you remembered that scrap of paper. It's coming up!! Never fear. As far as the pieces to this puzzle, there are far more than the picture needs. Rush and Ben will be putting them together and tossing out the pieces that don't fit. Actually, that is a very apt comparison to what I'm doing with this story. Thank you for the insightful comment!!

    Salix 2 – Haunted Twyla sipped her herbal tea, which she’d laced with a bit of brandy. Okay, it was more than a touch. But, it helped her sleep. It was hard getting to sleep lately. The news earlier in the day may have made it a little easier, or so she hoped. Her husband was sleeping on the couch with a slight grin on his lips. Steve looked peaceful and relaxed. His face was gaunt and his skin had a grayish hue to it, but otherwise he could be a resting child, innocent and calm.

    Randy read and loved it. I will post when needed. Should I do so now or wait? Please advise. Im not sure how this works with the newsletter. Cole
