    Poor David has been through a lot for a young boy and still has a terrible decision to make. I don't envy him.
  2. Wow! Josh is discovering the life of a sorcerer is busy! So am I
  3. Thanks for the review and nice comments Carl! You're right in that Niles and 'coming out' were the two biggest surprises for Toph (and us) in the chapter. Niles - we'll have to wait for that to emerge. Coming out seemed to have surprised even Toph. It certainly does change things for him, and how he views his world.
  4. Hey Def! Thanks for the comments! Yes, it seems Erik does have something other than helping Twoey on his agenda. But, I suppose, we can understand Twoey. Erik's been responsible for a significant part of his sexual awakening, and he's clearly hungry for more, and David is...??? Mom and Enos together, scary stuff
  5. Thanks for the review and comments jess! It was Erik's pushiness that caused David to start disliking him in the first place. Anybody's guess where this will lead. David's going to need Putin and other allies too. His enemy is very, very bad indeed.
  6. Thanks for the comments Parker! Yeah, for once David's Spidey-Sense seems to be right on. And yeah, more than one invasion was revealed today.
  7. Thanks for the review and sickening comment Have you been peeking ahead?
  8. We knew with everything he had been doing, Robbie's lives were going to intersect (collide?) somewhere. But this seems a bit different. Like he's getting himself in to something a little too deeply. The drugs are bad, the relationship with Alex is worse, but I think the pictures are going to be the worst. Nothing good can come of them at all. Good (bad) chapter Dodger! Usually we can't wait for the next one, but I'm a little uneasy about one of the next two chapters,
  9. “There are few die well that die in battle” H.V -WS *** “We’ll pick up Mel and Lanni early to do Kory's for some food before the dance.” It was my peace offering to Gary, but it’s unlikely I’ll ever be able to forgive Mel. Gary looked over at me as we ran. “That's a good idea. See, you're learning all the girlfriend moves!” “She's not my girlfriend, doofus!” Wait till he sees Devil Girl! I know she'll be really sexy in that costume! After the run, I was drying off from my shower when t
  10. Thanks for the review and comments Carl! Yes you're right. Toph's old point of view is clashing with his new reality. That's for sure. Some habits die hard, I guess.

    Life Story

    Hm Hits a touch past melancholy for me, almost slipping into dejection. Definitely D minor

    Carl - this is SO not like stories I normally enjoy reading. That being said, I like it very much - go figure. Anyway, I'm trying not to read it too fast, trying to absorb and enjoy and wallow.

    Daddy Dearest

    Well tim, hard as it was to hit the 'like' button, I convinced myself it was only liking that you got it out. Nothing anyone can say will change how it feels to you. It's wonderful you have the husband you do, and I'm sure that's no news bulletin. Devote all your energy to you two. It also sounds like you have a great family to enjoy, so do it. Only my best thoughts and love for you!!

    Chapter 1

    Everyone needs that person they know will keep them safe.

    Chapter 1

    Carl, I think this was perfect in every way. Some people don't understand.
  16. Thanks for the lovely comment dayne! Once the characters are alive in my head, it's much easier to get in and out of them, so to speak. I don't think it would be possible if I didn't love them, every one!
  17. Hey dayne! Thanks for that, I think. No one's ever complained about my sucking before, so I guess there's a first time for everything
  18. Thanks for your thoughts Def! Yes, little steps. Maybe Toph was more damaged than he or we thought. A reader mentioned somewhere (Toph Forum?) that he was functioning well despite his problems. Maybe it's what's keeping friends from noticing something's wrong. idk
  19. Thanks Gary, for keeping us all up to date. There's a big hole here at GA without our ColumbusGuy!
  20. Hey Def! Thanks for your review and comments! Well in response to your Lanni comment, we all know David's universe is not always aligned with the actual universe. You're right a lot can go wrong, and maybe David's confidence will somehow be the trigger. Part 3? OMG I'd better start writing

    Late August

    Hey Carl! Thanks for discovering Toph, and for stopping in with a comment too! Our protagonist is on a one year trek into reality and discovery. I hope he can remain interesting, although he may not be likable every step of the way
  22. Hey tim! Thanks for that! Toph does seem like a new character, every time he works through an issue from his past. But unfortunately, he's got a lot left. One baby step at a time...
  23. Hey jess thanks for your comments! Toph resonates with me too, so I know how you feel.
  24. Thanks for the great review Rex! The 'analyzing' you so delicately mentioned is deeply ingrained from his past life and, as you note, the missing spontaneity - which could be the final piece of his puzzle, but it's still awfully far away.
  25. Thanks for the review and great comments Graeme! Yes, I pondered quite a bit over that one little word. But as pleasing as has been his progress, Toph isn't there yet ...not even close. He's still on the outside looking in, or on THAT side looking OVER, whichever fits
