    We'll see what the future has in store for them. Thanks for reading and commenting!
  2. You brought tears to my eyes, Parker. These are so powerful and beautiful. After my grandma passed, a bright yellow chickadee visited my aunt's living room window repeatedly. It would play with my nieces and nephews...flit from one window to the next in a game of hide and seek. It was quite amazing to watch. It returned every spring for a couple of years. Not sure if it still does. We always said it was my grandma keeping an eye on things.

    Chapter 5

    I think you summed everything up perfectly.

    Chapter 4

    This would definitely not be an interesting story if they all acted rationally. Glad you're hooked. I love reading your comments.

    Chapter 3

    I agree with you. I consider it cheating also. These guys aren't perfect, that's for sure. I love mac and cheese! Josh and Galen's taste in food runs very similar to my own.

    Chapter 2

    Josh is very... complicated. And agreed... he was a bit of a jerk.

    Chapter 1

    I'm so glad you started reading this story I hope you like it. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
  8. I remember your summary of the prompt... it's one of my favorite comments. Perfect and succinct! Thanks for your kind words, LBO. You were one of the biggest supporters of this story when I first posted it and I really appreciate that.
  9. Thank you for your detailed critique of Alex's Legacy, William. I was curious as to which of my stories you were going to pick for this feature. This story is a sentimental favorite of mine and I appreciate your comments. I'm glad you found Sam's assault and subsequent recovery believable. It was very difficult to write.
  10. Glad you're home
  11. Great reviews! Now I want to read/re-read all of these stories! Social Skills drew me right in, too and is one of the first Premium stories I read. I consider that story among my favorites on this site. Addy's review makes me want to read it again. I've also read Mann's Santa Claus series and recommend it to anyone who's a sci-fi junkie, or even if you're not, Mann's characters will make you like it. Puppilull's review of the MetaWolf series reminds me I need to finish it. I started it ages ago and enjoyed it... now I just need to finish it! While I haven't read the rest on the list, I'll have to add them to my ever-growing reading list.
  12. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear he's on the mend.
  13. I enjoyed both of these, especially the one about Falkor. He's definitely your kitty now. (Now bring him inside lol) Nice job
  14. Does #595 make anyone else think of Mighty Mouse?
  15. Great question, Imoline. A lot of friends and loved ones of mine have experienced loss lately, so I've been doing a lot of thinking about life and existential questions. I think everyone has aspects of their life they wish they could change or mistakes they'd like to fix. But all of our actions and inaction have led us to where we currently are. Would I change where I am right now? No. Ask me again tomorrow and the answer might differ I can really see your style emerging with this third selection. When I read it, I again imagined this set to music. Your words have a very powerful lyrical quality that's appealing. Nice job.

    Reappearance

    You saved the spiciest for last. A hot mixture of habanero and ghost pepper combine to create a primal joining. Nicely done. The thing about spice racks is that there's always room for more. I really enjoyed this series, Chef.
  17. You had me chuckling at this. You captured the frustration of dealing with travel delays perfectly. There's so much to like in these poetic rantings, but "pavement's purgatory" really stood out to me. As someone who hates flying, being stuck on the tarmac while waiting hours to take off is a special kind of hell. I'm sorry you had to deal with all this.

    Rejection

    You should post this in one of your collections. It's so true.
  19. I highly recommend all the stories in this series. Viv's writing style drew me in immediately, and had me binge-reading the whole series in one night. Too bad she's not on the site anymore, because I'd love to read more by her.

    Wishes and Dreams

    The wishes and dreams of youth are very different from those of adulthood, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. I know how you feel, though. Sometimes those dreams become pangs of regret. Nice job, Imoline.

    Rejection

    These just keep getting better and better. "Their touch defines our affection..." is caviar on an amuse bouche designed to whet our palate. We need the bitter to offset the sweet, as long as it doesn't overtake the dish. Nice job, yet again.
  22. So sorry to hear. Best wishes to Lacey for a speedy recovery
  23. You've written a very relatable poem. I like the use of repetition of the first two lines. This has an almost lyrical quality to it. I could see this being sung as a song. Nice job, Imoline. Congrats on your first posting!
  24. oooo a challenge prompt... I'll have to tackle that one
