So glad readers like you will connect to the story on such a personal level. When I started planning spinoffs for The Squad, I knew Chipper's and Brad's were going to be the first ones. I did hesitate since neither is gay, but then realized if the stories were good enough, nobody would care. I hope that pans out since the next one will be about another one of the straight boys! LOL

Most likely the author's fault. I'll post live in the future and expect comments about not getting a notification. Oh well, thankfully chapters don't go away.

Good so far?
-
A little of this chapter is a re-telling of the trip I previously covered in another story. Upcoming chapters will show how we got from this initial visit to the Oscars.

And you'll have to put up with me and the story for the next thirteen weeks!

I liked Mark when I created him. He'll play a role in this story and I plan to bring him back in a future one.
-
LOL You done good

Since I discovered the one in New Jersey, I've discovered there's a few others around the country. There's one in Kansas City (Veterans Community Project) that has been featured in national news and is now embarking on a nationwide expansion.

In spite of the tears, I hope the chapter makes you realize Brad will come through his ordeal. I'm sooo glad I started off with this scene instead of tellin the story in chronological order.
-
I recall you telling me you cried when you first read it. Guess the impact didn't lessen with a second reading.
-
Welcome to the club. It happened to me a few times while editing the chapter. Funny how I'm writing about an fun event and it elicits tears from readers.
-
Glad you liked it. The story begins with words by Brad and concludes with another speech by him a few months late.

I've done that too! The story won't be posted for months, but I've sprinkled words of the day throughout. -
US Army Ranger Sergeant Bradley Thomas Kennedy lost his legs when his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device. Ranger chronicles the first couple of years following the IED incident. Led by his best friend, CJ, The Squad rallies to support Brad's efforts to reintegrate into civilian life. Will he recover sufficiently from his physical and mental wounds to lead a fulfilling life? Will he get the girl in the end?

January 2020 “So, what’s your story?” Brad could not help chuckling. “Right to the point, eh? I like that.” “Why pussyfoot around?” The man ran a hand over his shaved head and pointed towards the right. “We’re going there. Those legs of yours tell me you’ve seen real action. You may have left your original ones behind, but I’m certain you brought back a new outlook on life like most of us did. Life’s too short to waste our time with bullshit.” “Yep. I have less patien

March 2022 “And the Oscar goes to… A Home for Warriors.” Loud applause forced the presenter to raise his voice. “Brad Kennedy, Brett Davenport, Cesar Abelló, Cesar Abelló, Jr., and Owen Liston, producers. Anne Maki, director.” The audience roared its approval. From the initial private showings, to the documentary’s official premiere in Washington, D.C., through its subsequent airing on Amazon’s Prime, the film had garnered critical acclaim and popular support. “FUCKING A!”

Thanks, Jeff! My goal was to lure a couple of new readers while bringing clarity to a fuzzy spot in CJ's series. Hopefully, new readers will like get a taste for my style without having to tackle a long series as their introduction to my work.

Some people have a sense of entitlement that makes them believe they can do as they please. Someone standing up to them often surprises those bullies.

Thanks for sticking with me and reading, bud!

Yep. Short stories are supposed to be short.

That would make a great thread. What GA authors/members have you met? I missed my chance at dinner with @Valkyrie because I had tickets to Springsteen on Broadway. Sorry again, Val, but The Boss will always win. Even over my family. -
Tell me about it...

PRIME opened back in 2012, within a year it was a popular NYC bar with both gays and the other type of people. In a previous story, I described Champagne Jello shots. Someone made them for a NYE midnight toast. Prior to writing, I sampled. Vodka gives them the good kick. For this one, I combined a traditional Champagne cocktail with the Jello shot recipe. The whole idea is to get people fucked up enough they'll have a good time and come back for more.

You forgot about the wire shelving... Those will not be the bar nuts served at PRIME!
