I disagree anthology should be light and airy. There's plenty of room for hard tales too. And yours is a wonderful distillation of the precarious times we live in. I recently wrote a dialogue line where someone claims the fight is not over and vigilance is a must. You make a strong argument for that view.
Great job, Bill.
Anyone reading this should know Wolf's deployed to a fire. He texted the poem to his husband who posted it. I messaged the hubby when I heard of the Queen's since I knew how Wolf felt about her. I mean, they did fly over for the Jubelee 😁.
More than I usually do, I want to hug a tree. Progress, as measured by human, often leads to losses most people don't recognize. In this case the pond and the hare were both lost in pursuit of profits.
So damn touching. Really enjoyed it.
Inanimate objects can help recall and cherish special times, and cars do it often. Our first drive, an escape vehicle when stressed, and at times a private spot for smooching or simply thinking.
Now, now, Myr. Careful or Jeff will have Amazon screw up future deliveries.
I'm glad I had no intention of watching; I didn't like any of the movies either.
Take a bow...
Thank you for making not only my day but my week. Had a rough start, but all's well now. Good writing as usual, and I loved the pacing, slow enough I was tempted to skip ahead, but not glacial.
Go have a pint or whatever it is you do to relax. You've earned it.
I look forward to future adventures.
Thank you.
Yeah, my original intent of writting about a gay boy's summer in DC sort of got out of control. I have way too many ideas for the amount of writing I can do. Right now, I'm trying to figure out where I want to go next.
Thank you. Adele and Nathaniel stick around and may appear/be mentioned in future installments. I do know she's still around in 2027 since she's mentioned in a story set then.
For a couple of years, I took a long trip for my birthday. In 2014 I did the Outer Banks. Without realizing it I was there during Bike Week. I loved the area and included some of what I experienced in a story. I took CJ, Owen, Ritch, and Liz to the Wright Brothers National Monument and I may have described a couple other locations in the area.
I barely drink alcohol these days, so a lot of those descriptions are cobbled together from reviews and the companies' websites. The Dwayne Wade rose I did sample last yar, and it was pretty good. The bourbon they drink I can't afford. LOL
Are you friends with Harley? I bet he'd love to say your name.
Thanks, for the praise. This story was rushed and I'm not 100% happy with it, but it serves its purpose.
