Thanks, Dugh. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm so sorry about your wife, Jeff. The flu is definitely not something to be dismissed. Thanks so much for reading and leaving a review. I'm glad I could provide a nice break from your Thanksgiving chaos.

lol You said the same exact thing the first time you read it. The flu can be very serious and deadly, even to otherwise healthy people, so it's not an implausible situation. I'm glad you liked it anyway. Thanks for the review.

I'm glad it was memorable enough that people remembered reading it the first time around. Thanks for reading it again. I'm glad you liked it.

Yes, I originally wrote this in 2014 as two different prompt responses. I cleaned them up and added a bit, since I thought it made a nice stand-alone story. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you still liked it.

Today was going to suck. It’s not like I was a big fan of Thanksgiving to begin with, but this year was even suckier than usual. I had recently moved to start my dream job and didn’t know too many people in the area. My family was about a thousand miles away and since I was perpetually single, I had no one to share the day with. My boss found out I was planning on spending the day alone and insisted that I come spend the day with her and her family. Turn left on Sunshine Avenue in one half

Rob is not a fan of Thanksgiving or holidays in general. His boss invites him to Thanksgiving dinner, where he meets someone who might just change his mind about the holidays.

Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you had an awesome day! Here's a Burger King crown to help you celebrate! :D

Happy Thanksgiving to all my GA friends and family! I am so thankful to be a part of this site.

:D That's great news!

I'm with Droughtquake. It breaks my heart knowing that this is partially autobiographical. The consolation is that Lev is now loved and safe. This was very well-written, Tim.

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day! :D :D

I loved this story. Mann takes us on one hell of a roller coaster ride, but it's well worth it. I highly recommend this story! And I love the banner. Very cool!

Pepsi should run Zombie Dad ads during TWD. LOL Good idea, LBO Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it. I can't promise any more chapters. It feels done for now. Thanks so much for your support of Zombie Dad!

Thanks, Cole! You know how much I struggled to finish this story. Your comments and guidance were invaluable to me.

Thanks for the review, Emi. I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review, William. I do think that Ben and Jake were in love with Richard and Lee...maybe not to the extent that they loved each other, but it is possible to love more than one person. Ben didn't "just move on". It was several years after Jake's disappearance, and one-two years after he was declared officially dead. Everyone is different with how they grieve. Some people might never get over the loss, while others are lucky enough to find love again. In this case, that love wasn't strong enough to survive the return of the first love. I don't think Jake can be faulted too much for marrying and having children. He didn't know about Ben or his prior life--he didn't remember it. This is a messy story for sure, and I love how it provoked such different reactions from readers. I appreciate and can see your point of view, even if I do disagree. I don't think there are any right or wrong answers in this story--just people trying to navigate their way through an impossible situation. Thanks again for the great review. I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

You can always post it directly in the thread for Prompt 517. I look forward to reading it.

It's that kind of weather here today, too. The high is in the low 70s, which is unheard of for this time of year. That will change tomorrow, though. The high is in the 30s with snow predicted. Oh well. It is that time of year!

No snow yet, but it's on the way this weekend. I tackled Prompt 538 this week. Here's the link to the final chapter in Zombie Dad's saga. Check it out to find out whether or not the Pepsi treatment cured him and if he ever sees his son again. http://www.gayauthors.org/story/valkyrie/promptingsfromvalhalla-2016edition/9 “I need to find a way to make this right.” The man in the white lab coat ran his hand over his face as he stared into the quarantine room. The still form on the hospital bed haunted him ever since he had administered the wrong treatment three days prior, exacerbating the man’s symptoms instead of alleviating them. It was widely known that Diet Pepsi intensified the effects of the zombie virus and regular Pepsi lessened them; however, after working a double-shift, the young doctor had inadvertently grabbed the wrong bottle.

LOL That would be pretty awesome... Zombie Dad Pepsi ads! I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it.

Probably wouldn't hurt to have a case on hand in case the zombie apocalypse arrives... I couldn't kill Zombie Dad. He's been through enough. Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it.
