Headstall

Showdown After his at-times-gut-wrenching talk with Willy James, August made his way back towards the smithy and his team. He’d seen some hope on his friend’s face before he left, and was determined to help keep it there. A talk with Fletcher was needed before he could sort it all out in his head, but he was pretty sure he knew what had to happen. Upon reaching the main street and turning the corner, still somewhat lost in his thoughts, he heard raised voices behind him.

That's great news, Kris. I am happy for you. Relief from pain is almost better than sex.

I second this!

I am so glad to hear this, that you were fully engaged in the chapter. There are so many ways to write something. I am conscientious with regards to the readers, and I am diligent in my attention to detail, but that doesn't mean I don't get it wrong from time to time. "Write what you know". Sometimes I have to write about things with the only perspective I have... mine. That can fall short, but I do try. I will tell you this... Willy James and Runyan were a big part of what first entered my head when this story came to be. So yeah, two couples... will their paths cross from here on, and if so, how? Cheers, sweet lady.

I agree. They need to put Albert's suspicions to rest. The man is scary clever. As far as Rob and August, I can tell you my older brother and I couldn't be more different. My bio dad was cold to me, but spoiled my brother, the first born who resembled him. I looked like my mother. Sound familiar? I believe parents can do a lot to set siblings against one another, and I lived that. My father would have us box before the hockey game every Saturday night, and I never saw him angrier at me than the first time I knocked my brother down and he stayed down. He didn't say I did good, or anything positive to me, and he gave my brother crap for losing. It confused me at the time, but I eventually saw and accepted he loved my brother best. Even that line about looking too much like his mother for his own good... I had the same thing said to me... about me being too 'pretty' for my own good. Damn! it's amazing what writing brings up from the past. Thanks, my dear friend. New chapter tomorrow.

Hello, folks.

Safe travels, friend.

Bitch, please!

24 carat, sunshine.

Oh... really?

Yup... more roleplaying.

Pffft!

Are you guys roleplaying again?

Drewth!

He'd like to do a lot more to you.

Or... and hear me out... is he pretending?

Just Kindergarten height.

The world is burning.

Hello...

Welcome, Kevin, and good luck to you. Cheers! Gary

Hello, all. My DIL had her birthday party here yesterday. It was mostly outside and they barbecued on the new BBQ. It was fun. One of my daughters and SIL came too so I had good company.

Have I got a story for you... Hey, Sherye! They are in a scary position for sure. As august said to Fletcher, it could have been them. Hope all is well, my friend.

Hi!

Did a troll walk through the Shire?

Greetings and salutations.
