When I read the title, I first imagined a Rolling Stones concert, or the like I loved them all, but number three brought a tear to my eye since it reminded me of my own grandma. The nostalgia in these is very powerful and clear. Well done, as always. I'm reminded of a photograph taken of me and my brother when we were small children. My grandparents had received a new rocking chair for Christmas--wooden with a wicker seat and back--and I had received a beautiful new dress from my uncle and Mickey Mouse roller skates from my grandparents. My mom wanted a nice picture of me and my brother, all dressed up, on the new chair. So we took the pic... complete with the roller skates I refused to remove.

Yes, many of my characters contain characteristics or mannerisms I have observed in real life. I don't base characters on a particular individual, but may include quirks or preferences I have personally or have observed in other people. The closest I've come to basing a character on someone I know IRL is with Peter from "Downhearted". Even then, he is a conglomeration of several different individuals. I rarely describe characters in detail, unless it's relevant to the story. The development of the character is more important than describing how they look. -
You did great What a cute tale. For the most part, neighbors tend to pull together in times of need. This story showed that perfectly.

Wow... that was intense! I love a good vampire story, and this one didn't disappoint. Great job!

It was my uber-secret new contingent of my LPW-land army--the ghosts in the machine, designed to prevent your re-acquisition of the shiny. 😛 Not so secret anymore, apparently.

Seeing a new Rob Colton story this morning made my day and you didn't disappoint. It was nice seeing Eli again and I'm happy Rex and Hayden found each other. I hope we get to read more about them.

"Who is 'Steve'?" "The weirdo wearing the Burger King crown and Sabres jersey." "What should we start with?" "The Penguin said to toss him in an oubliette, but let's have some fun first." @wildone -
This reminds me that I need to finish reading this story. I started, but then life got in the way. I quite enjoyed what I have read so far.

"Holy crap, Frank! What the fuck are you wearing?” Frank grinned and stuck out his glowing chest, ignoring the stares, snickers, and outright guffaws of his co-workers. “It’s October first, and you know what that means.” He held up an orange, rectangular, plastic container with a black lid. The other man’s eyes widened, and he wiped the corner of his mouth on his shirt sleeve. “You may look like an idiot, but damn if you don’t know how to bake.” “I’ll put them out during break. Ther
