Thanks, Lux! Great comments, as usual. You might be misinterpreting Chuck's comment though. I read it as a sarcastic comparison to the more common reverse statement: 'when did you become gay?' Chuck has always been a little sassy.
-
Thanks, spikey! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter as we get to know Chuck a lot better than we did before. Think of the ending as an opportunity for Chuck.
-
Thanks, Lisa! Aw -- you know I don't kill off characters -- well, hardly ever. Chuck and Carl will be interesting to watch. Chuck is certainly not Danny but he is just enough to give Carl some needed comfort. And, of course, Chuck get's some solid support in return.
-
Thanks, CG! You're right. I'm sure David fled from those bad memories as soon as he had the chance. And he got a new shrink/mom in the bargain. Now we get to see how the next wave of kids through Daleville High cope and make their marks!
-
Thanks, Jess! We're still in Daleville but it's not quite the same town it was three years ago. So now the young'uns from Twoey's tale have begun to run the place. Let's see how well they do!
-
Aw ...sorry to read that dq, but I can understand. I hope you do read 18 weeks and then find your way back here. Of course, there's always Toph. Only one chapter left on that!
-
Thanks, Hunter! No, once Dad was out, it gave David the excuse he needed to be rid of the place where he was haunted by bad memories. Everything else was pretty understandable. But this story is all about Chuck!

Will He Never Leave Me and Questions Without Answers
skinnydragon commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Will He Never Leave Me and Questions Without Answers
Ah, that little man. You described him so well; playing, toying, tormenting. It makes me wonder if all these little men, one distributed to each of us, are brethren or all facets of the same undimensional being. I enjoyed your Questions without Answers very much! I could relate to that one too. Good stuff, tim! -
Thomas and Denise! Together! Well, that's a "marriage" made in Hell! Great chapter. mitchelll !

Is this a cacodemon's morality play, Parker? It is really, really well delivered. And it's not gone unnoticed by me that Ted has been the only one with a name in this story -- so far. Is this done to make him the more "human" of the characters, although he seems to be the most inhumane? All great stuff, my friend. I look forward to the next canto.

I think it took all weekend for everything to sink in. I was going to Abington. This fall! I was going to Abington this fall! I could live home with my sweetheart for the next four years, work at Naomi’s and attend Abington. It felt like the roof had fallen around me but, instead of being crushed, I could see the sky. I was freed! Gary insisted we celebrate. Sunday found us at – where else? – Belsorriso’s. Pampered by great food and violin music, I studied him carefully, this man I loved. I was

Chapter 28 Come In From The Rain
skinnydragon commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 28 Come In From The Rain
The last six lines say it all. It's tough, wrenching -- but understandable. -
I like this story, tim. It's chick-full of lots of potential. Already, Dave is starting to become three-dimensional. Good going, friend!

Last paragraphs of chapter 1: “So David and Twoey became boyfriends?” “Oh yes, right away. They became glued to each other. It was strange because Twoey’s Mom was in Albany and David’s Dad was in New York City over the Christmas vacation when all this happened. So I guess David was a little apprehensive about the returning parents. Twoey’s mother arrived two days after New Year’s. David’s father never came home.” “Never came home? What do you mean? Did he die?” “No. He was arrested. I gue

Sometimes we just plow on, don't we? Second thoughts, third thoughts, any thoughts seem to point us the way, but then reality sometimes shines its unrelenting light on our life. Powerful stuff there, Lux, because in some ways it affects us all.

Two sterling poem, Parker. The first, Stranger, began as riffs on the "who is the stranger I see in my mirror?" but added feeling and depth to that simple triviality, until -- that last line, which turned it all on its head. In Hiding is just superbly done -- every thought, every line. Bravo!

Chapter 1 - Truck Stop.
skinnydragon commented on William King's story chapter in Chapter 1 - Truck Stop.
You painted a very good picture, William! It will be interesting to see where this leads. It's already borderline surreal! -
Thanks, jess! I guess it was my little test. I kept dropping hints, but when he got to Syracure I had to actually drop his name. After that, it was all pretty obvious. I hope Chuck's little story will entertain you!
-
Thanks, Def! I didn't really start out to do this, you know. But Chuck can be pretty insistent, as you'll see when the story unfolds. So he kept badgering me and I caved in. What can I say? I hope you enjoy his moment in the sun.
-
Thanks, spikey! As you sot of guessed, this is Chuck's story and it will definitely not be real long. I'm still suffering PTSD from the 122 chapters! Hopefully Chuck will take us through some interesting moments, but he is clearly not as screwed up as David was -- thank God!
-
Thanks for stopping by, droughtquake! I too noticed we seem to be drawn to the same stories. In answer to your questions, you do NOT have to have read 18 Weeks first to enjoy The Valedictorian. (Although I hope you will find time for it in the future!) Anything you need to know will be explained in the story. It is not 18 Weeks, Part 2. Parker mentioned 'tangential' and most of my stories have a glancing relationship to each other. Just a little something to deepen the enjoyment for those who read them. I hope you stay with Chuck's story and enjoy it. It will NOT be enormously long. Whew!
-
Thanks, Lux! Yeah, Tommy is all growed up, and then some! Hopefully he's not as bad as Chuck seems to think he is.
-
Thanks geoff! This will be a shorter (thank God) story. I hope it keeps your interest.
-
Thanks, bubby! I thought it would be interesting to peek in on the town three years later. Chuck has his own story to tell. Hopefully, it won't be as convoluted as David's
-
Thank you, Sturgeon! I hope it keeps your interest!
