Congratulations Albert!! :D

:wizard: Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great day!

I wonder if a change in schedule will mean he has Lunch Boy in one of his new classes? I hope so. Then they can start getting to know each other.

:wizard: Happy Birthday, Louis! I hope you had an awesome day!

Great chapter! This is exactly what Stefan/Eric/Andy needed...to have a purpose. I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out with Lunch Boy.

It's nice to see a story from you again! I loved this. Apparently the werewolf within didn't want the psychic to reveal his secret. I feel bad for his friends who will have to kill him and then start the cycle anew. Nice job.

Wow...what a great story. I love stories of redemption and second chances for flawed characters. I felt David's sincerity and Rob's love. When Rob broke down after they made love and said "they hurt me", it was like a punch in the gut. He carried around that hurt for so long. I hope they both find the healing they need in each other and live a long, happy life together. Some things are worth taking a second chance on.

I think you have a good outline for a much longer story. I was drawn in and want to 'see' the relationship the two men had growing up and how it developed into more. The emptiness and loneliness the narrator is experiencing came through very clear. I'm not sure if Braden simply left or passed away...the ending is a bit unclear on that. I would infer from the letter that he left, but the last paragraph states it was the last thing he had ever written. Nice prompt. I hope you write more.

I'm hoping to finish up my anthology entry today and get it to my team.

Wonderful poems, Tim. Thanks for sharing.

She sounds like she was an amazing lady. Thank you for sharing such a personal story.

I'm guessing that next week there will be a new Caretaker...

Thanks so much! I'll definitely leave you a review once I've finished it.

How does this work? It says I have to join the group in order to participate, so I sent a request to join.

I love your writing, so I'll definitely check it out.

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I wanted to give an update regarding my writing. I had a long bout of writer's block, which finally seems to be over. I've had a lot of ideas lately, which is a good thing. Now I just hope I'll be able to write them all! I have three ideas for upcoming anthologies - one of which has been written and beta read. I've started a second anthology story and have jotted down some notes for a third. I have an idea for the holiday story contest, which is still in the fleshing out stage. I've been working a little bit on Chapter 16 of "The Hollow Hills", but it's been hard to concentrate on it when I have so many other ideas bouncing around. I apologize to those who follow THH, but I want to make sure I stay true to the story and put out the best chapter possible. Fingers crossed it will be soon, but I never know which voice in my head will be yelling at me the loudest.

Slow steps of progress here. Eric dreaming of comfort instead of being beaten. Eustace showing him compassion. I'm liking the progression of the story so far.

oooo a clown. I may have to do something with that one... mwahahahahahaha

Great chapter! I wondered what was going to happen when Jenson went away on his mission, but now Merrick is going with him... The tension between these two is so hot. I wonder what's holding Jensen back? It's not Merrick's age and he's said how he feels about him, but he 'can't'. Maybe he has an agreement or pact with Merrick's parents about staying away from him...I look forward to what's next!

I can't imagine it's the same driver. The thought never occurred to me. That'd be a heck of a coincidence! Good idea about writing Aaron's story. I really like him.

Awww...I'm sorry you've been having a rough time. I completely understand about wanting a distraction. I'm glad my story provided what you needed. The prompt tells the story of how Aaron and Sam met. It's one of my favorite prompt responses to date. Thank you so much for all the reading and for all the reviews. Seeing all the reviews for AL really made my day.

It was a very difficult chapter to write. It's funny, but I think I get even more emotional when I revisit the story now. Thanks for the review. I hope the Epilogue makes up for this chapter.

Yes, it would be great if it ended here...but unfortunately we know it doesn't. Thanks for reading. Your support means a lot to me.

Yay! I'm so glad you're catching up! This was an important step in their relationship. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Great chapter. It's good that Eric retreated back to the farm. It seems he's thinking of it as 'home'. Redhead's reaction seems a bit over the top. I can understand a few punches to make his point, but pissing on him shows the workings of a very disturbed mind. I have a feeling his 'relationship' with Maddie may be based more in his head than in reality. I wonder if Eric will trust Eustace enough to tell him what really happened? Like the other reviewers, I'm really enjoying how their relationship is building. Oh, and you are quite the tease...I thought we were going to get to meet the lifeguard after that introduction.
