    Thanks jess! Maybe Lanni just wants to have a few dates and a little fun. I don't think she's going to be taken in by Cal. Do you? Yep! Erik seems to be right on (his) schedule. Got a klaxon? We need to wake up Twoey. Gary's family is ...well, family.

    Thanks Parker! Twoey probably just forgot to notice ...probably. David and Sam are in a bind right now. At least they're going to pay attention. Maybe they will find something to latch onto. idk ...it seems Lanni has it all covered. No?

    Thanks CG! Nice little fable there. It is so apt!

    Thanks Def! Hey! Don't blame me! I just channel these guys. Erik is pretty good at doing his job while Twoey is, as you noted, in his love cloud. Donny with Chuck? Hmmmmm ...try again!
  5. skinnydragon
    Thanks CG! Yep you saw it all coming. Um... keep your attention on Donny.

    Thanks Def! David's dreams are confusing to him so far. But they keep getting more detailed. It'll probably all come crashing through one day. Nah! Don't waste your time of those two guys, they're dead meat.

    Thank you for those beautiful comments Hunter! It was a tough one to write. "Catharsis" is a good word. Sometimes the connection with my characters (especially David) causes many reviewers to get angry with him or me.

    It's good Barry is on the mend, there's healing there. I think Ryan's dreams are a form of healing too. The mind suppresses to protect. When that breaks down, it usually means it considers the person well enough to begin healing. Clayton's love certainly has helped Ryan reach this breakthrough, and he'll need to be patient and supportive. But, we know he will. Nice chapter Rex!

    Thanks tim! Picturing Mike's giant hands chopping is quite a thing. chuckle. It does appear things are turning positive for Toph, and I agree with you on the wisdom of slow progress. But only two kisses in a month! Yikes!

    Two Rubayats

    skinnydragon commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Two Rubayats

    I liked both of these Parker! The catbird reminded me of a few people I've known. I never thought of picturing them as catbirds. Now I'll never be able to not. Thanks for that!

    Funny, I posted the above about a week ago. This morning, I read a review in the Times of the book The Noise of Time by Julian Barnes. The review has some interesting points. Here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/15/books/review/the-noise-of-time-by-julian-barnes.html?emc=edit_tnt_20160510&nlid=17154485&tntemail0=y&_r=0 The book looks suspiciously interesting. It'll probably end up on my Kindle soon for Maine reading this summer. The crash of waves is my noise of time.

    Chapter 8

    skinnydragon commented on Hunter Thomson's story chapter in Chapter 8

    Well, it'll be interesting to see what Thanksgiving weekend brings between Devin and Alex. It'll also be interesting to see what returning to school will bring with Vincente. It would be best if Devin lets Alex down gently and then they can both move on with their lives. I wonder where Vincente has disappeared to?

    An interesting chapter Tim, showing a lot of give and take, or give and give, at times. But it's all the loosening up and comfortable feelings with each other that exhibits the relationship between Patrick and Peter deepening. Now about that neighbor.
  14. skinnydragon
    OK - things are back to the way they were before with Adam and Kevin. But they aren't. Kevin seems needier of Adam. That's interesting right there. Finally, next chapter we see how Adam handles becoming Peter again. That will really be interesting. Thanks for giving us this, oat!

    Chapter 26

    skinnydragon commented on Ronyx's story chapter in Chapter 26

    Curtis doesn't want to be seen with Casey because people might think he's gay. So how will he rationalize Joshua? That guy's a damp rat! But on the more serious side, Curtis took advice from Casey and didn't run away from home. That was worth the whole chapter, Ron! Thanks!

    Love is a madness; if thwarted it develops fast. - Mark Twain *** Tommy unwrapped my casts after the morning shower and I was drying off when I heard voices downstairs, so I just slipped on my boxers and hobbled down, hair-drying towel around my neck. It was the gang’s morning visit, as I had assumed. They brought me up to date on school gossip. I guess they hired a new guy to take Burch’s place. I guess Kathy is still technically going with Jacobs, but he cheats on her every other d

    Thanks jess! I don't think Gary knows ANY Roman history. He only knows his family's codewords. I get the feeling Lanni doesn't know anything about Cal's reputation beyond what she sees in bio. She's pretty sheltered from school gossip. Now, maybe Deena knows. Ouch! Cal might be in over his head for once.

    Thanks for the comments oxala! You mean Erik isn't simply being protective of his guy? Yes, Donny by the water. We even have a picture of his thinking spot in the gallery. Enter Donny, stage left (pretty soon). David isn't connecting the dots about vixere yet. See my reply to spikey on that. Of course, it's just a guess on my part. Yes new helper! Please!
  19. skinnydragon
    Thanks Parker! Yes, when WILL Twoey wake up? We're so used to David being the clueless one. Speaking of whom, Vlad and Derek won't but somebody will and will also give him a deadline, in more ways than one.
  20. skinnydragon
    Thanks spikey, I think Erik is finding Twoey simply too easy to control. Twoey has to be in a fog of love at the moment, or a fog of something. Right now David is only focused on the 3 assaulters. The others are safely in a box on a shelf in his mind. But he'll figure it out.

    The Fuse

    skinnydragon commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in The Fuse

    Great chapter, Carlos. Full of tons of stuff, too. Of course, the main event we're left with is CJ and Jose. This could be a defining moment for CJ. How he handles the situation will be critical, I think. On top of it all, it's not an easy situation to handle by any stretch of the imagination. An adult would have to walk a tight line, and so it's yet more of a challenge for a teenager, no matter how mature he is. Soooooooooo ...we're all waiting!

    Chapter 12

    skinnydragon commented on Ronyx's story chapter in Chapter 12

    Hey! a little excitement. It'll probably do the town good. It's also nice the whole group all left his church. That might give the good pastor a large, antagonistic group to confront his school board antics. Stay put, Bobby! Good stuff Ron!!

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early March

    Oh Wow Lisa! What a nice thing to say. Even Toph had a tear in his eye. You're correct. I see him maturing too, although sometimes he does stuff which surprises me. Storm? Nah -- all we have is a birthday party on tap.

    You'll forget it when you're dead, and so will I. When I'm dead... Cat’s Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut *** Twoey On our way in this morning, I mentioned to Erik that I wanted to visit David after practice. He gave me just a momentary glance which was – uncomfortable. Then he regained his composure and was about to say something when I interrupted. “Erik, I told you, don’t do this! You’re going to create an issue where there is none! David visited me every chance he got when I was sho

    Early March

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early March

    Thanks jess! What a lovely contrast you painted in the first paragraph! I should have used it. I think you may be correct about the unconscious layers from his previous life. If he is truly to move forward, he'll no doubt need to realize that.
