    Good at Hiding

    pvtguy commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in Good at Hiding

    Is the challenge presented by Cottontail have Jamie curious or experiencing true feelings for someone else? It seems this is his first encounter that is not NSA. The plot is getting more intense!

    Coming on Autumn

    pvtguy commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Coming on Autumn

    Absolutely lovely! I could sense the sounds, sights and feelings engendered. I love this experiment and see it as a success!!

    I do believe this was definitely a calm before a major storm! I do think that Jackie will initiate the storm, but would be glad to see Ludo taking the reins. I don't think Jackie will ever see a holiday in France - at least in a treehouse with Ludo and Damian.

    Steven's Story

    pvtguy commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in Steven's Story

    I chose the "wow" emoji even though I loved the chapter too simply because of the raw emotion and trauma described. Even though we knew Steven's story, hearing it from him made it even more traumatic. An important thing to take from this story is that, while one cannot change the past, one can choose not to let it define life and can choose to move on to a much better life. It takes work and determination, both of which Steven appears to have done.

    @gmc poses a very good question: I wonder what the golfing crowd will think? Maybe there will be some surprises ahead. Would that one or more of the golfing crowd be participant in Russ' party! Now that would be both a surprise and hilarious!

    Therese is actually encouraging Ralph and seems quite ok with it! Good for both of them! And then there's good ol' Russ Kahn and Ares....

    What a twisted man Dexter is! Laura is such a twisted mother and Dexter calls her "Mom"!

    The fact that Jill got help via the psychiatrist and then experienced true parental love from Brendan certainly helped her develop more positive attitudes and values. That Brendan respected her was definitely a positive experience for her. I, too, want to learn about Kathy. That Brendan did live with her for a short while when he was younger does bring up questions about his background too, though it does not appear he was abused , nor was his brother.

    That last scene with Ludo and Damian reminded me sadly of how my son reacted to his own mother! I must say that I share @Cane23's concern about the situation with the gardener - while it sets up the scene for Ludo and Arthur to get naked and cavort with the kids in a natural nudist way, it does seem rather sketchy. I would at least fire the man!

    What a wonderful collection! Distress speaks most to me today as someone I though a friend has completely ghosted me. I have offered an apology should I have offended him, but no response. Your words speak most clearly to me! Each poem speaks to me in many ways. I will be re-reading these many times!

    Great beginning. It's great to be back with Nick and the family.

    Mother dearest will hopefully get her come-uppance! I have the feeling that the "new" Jeremy isn't going to accept his mother's interference.

    Ralph's parents don't appear open to anything but what they determine "best" for Ralph. That will not change easily. if ever. I love the twins! It is they who will ultimately give Ralph the courage to stand on his own.

    The Garden

    pvtguy commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in The Garden

    Great beginning! You've already set the boundaries for the characters and I'm looking forward to the subsequent events in the coming chapters! Damian seems to be nothing more than a charm on Jackie's bracelet - to be seen as a decoration rather than a responsibility. Of course, Ludo is going to come to a deeper understanding of himself...but that's what makes this story so enticing!

    I am loving the intrigue, but hope Elena is found soon!

    Autumn's cooler temperatures are still a ways off for us here in Florida, but I do remember autumns when I lived up north - beautiful, for sure, but too fleeting and leading to grey days of short light. As you can tell (and I mentioned before), I am not one who loves the change of weather to cold, dreary days. Yes, the heat is miserable (thanks for A/C!). May the younger generation take the lead in reducing our carbon footprint. All that said, your writing is absolutely superb and beautiful @Parker Owens. I admire your wordsmithery.

    The Final Targets

    pvtguy commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The Final Targets

    It was a different style of sci-fi but still had the elements of romance and HEA. Would that the world could be save with such powers - very dangerous if used incorrectly. Well done.

    @Robert Hugill, you've done a marvelous portrayal of a sector of people that I, personally, do not interact with, giving them their due! There was a real juxtaposition of the pretentious and the real. Dante brought out a much needed depth in Vaughn who, in my opinion, was too caught up in analysis and observation. I truly laughed at @Summerabbacat's "praise" of Suki! An apt name for she was truly a "suck up" in her vapid way. Now, on to the next work of @Robert Hugill.

    The Mission Begins

    pvtguy commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The Mission Begins

    What a way to save the world! That they were not obviously standing out as non-natives allowed them to accomplish their goals. Fascinating concept!

    Nolan is correct: there is no need for labeling at this point (or for that matter, later, in my opinion!). If Ralph really does fall for Nolan, it's simply love of this person, period! Exploration and experience may help Ralph to relax and become comfortable with himself, though I think he's on the way to that now. I do love the pacing of the story!

    Late August

    pvtguy commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Late August

    Like @weinerdog, it is still hot, very humid, and hopefully we are avoiding hurricanes for the next couple of months. However, that said, your beautiful description of fall reminds me of my days in New England. I relished the first days of fall, but I am not one made for cold weather and gray days. Thank you for reminding me of the change of seasons.

    Back To New York

    pvtguy commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in Back To New York

    This is no less weird than following Star Trek or Star Wars: one accepts the logic on which the story is built. I'm fascinated by the whole process of world building. So far so good....

    An intriguing beginning.

    Advice and coffee

    pvtguy commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Advice and coffee

    @Summerabbacat: When I became a single parent with full responsibility for my son, I had to give up going after the Ed.D. in keeping my primary life objective - Dad! I was a year away from completing my doctorate, but I gave it up nonetheless. Do I wish I could have completed it for my personal satisfaction of obtaining one of my goals - yes, but not at the expense of losing my son! Therese may love her daughters (I do not deny that fact), but her love does not include any personal sacrifice.

    Advice and coffee

    pvtguy commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Advice and coffee

    Hmmm...do I hear that Therese may have to ask Ralph to have more time with the girls if she continues her move up the occupational ladder? Or will she try to keep them away if he does indeed get serious with Nolan? We'll see how far her hypocrisy goes!
