  1. Lovely Tim! It's only happened to me once (with a person) I enjoyed your poetic description, as it brought back that memory quite vividly.

    Alone 1

    A good start Wolfman! Like Tim, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. It could go anywhere ...hehe But I'm sure there are plenty of adventures ahead for Matt. It's probably a good thing he's in shape. On to Chapter 2!
  3. Thanks Parker and you're sure right about Twoey. Too bad, as he was just getting his act together. The suspense won't last too long ...next few chapters are on their way in rapid fire.
  4. Thanks for the prod CG! Actually the next four chapters are each pretty short and are a preface to Part 2. I'll post one every other day until we arrive at Thursday, Oct 2 (in David's world).

    Entry 8

    Aw MrM, Brandon is so smitten! A great chapter!! I liked his observation that Billy is like a TV set, always on ...haha. Pretty perceptive! Brandon has more experience seeing the world, but less confidence applying it to himself. It makes him skittish like a kitten, not like the cat he likened himself to who would laze around all day. Very lovely descriptions throughout. This is a great idea coming to fruition MrM! I always get a smile when I see another chapter up!
  6. “Kathy and I are going shopping this afternoon to find a shirt and tie to coordinate with her dress. Then we're gonna grab something to eat and see a movie. You and Mel want to meet us for the movie?” “No, Mel and I are going to visit the falls and probably won't make it back in time for the movie.” Twoey said he had plans, but didn't say what they were. OK, I guess we were each doing our own thing today. I remained in my room to avoid any trouble. I even did my homework a day early. I guess
  7. Ah ...so now we get a glimpse of the force on the dark side. Like that dark force, they have the strength of good tools and a strong focus on their side. Will the good guys be able to defend? Will they be able to attack and take out the leader? Will that even stop them? Haha ...I sound like the narrator for a TV serial. But, M_L, there's a little truth in there, I think. At least you've painted the other side more clearly. Keeps me waiting for more! Good chapter!
  8. Thanks for the review and comments CG! You are so right about dark undercurrents, and not just for Twoey! The only possible salvation for Gary is if he's being played too. If he's the mastermind then he's gonna do a whole lot of hurtin'
  9. Thanks for the review Parker! Unfortunately for Twoey he's right to worry, as we'll see too soon. You know David would find it impossible to follow your advice. It's not in him to not fight back hard when he sees a threat. That in itself will create a little storm, but we're not there yet. Still a lot of chapters to go.

    Chapter 2

    Well W_L, a great start to an intriguing story. I was gonna say intriguing little story when I noticed this was in 'Book1' so I'm thinking there's lots of story here. That's good news, given the first few chapters. OK! Now I have something to look forward to every Friday besides the guy in 5C! Keep 'em coming friend!
  11. Gary and I couldn't help but be all over Twoey about Lanni during our run. It was all in good fun, except Gary kept grumbling I won the bet because Twoey must have told me. Twoey denied it over and over. But then Twoey asked how did I find out, and so fast. I smiled and said someday he would discover how incredibly well connected I was. Gary looked right at me and scoffed. “I guess you are unhinged, if you believe that!” SHIT!!!!! It’s when I realized Tommy's mother said something to his mothe
  12. Ha! Tim, what a hoot! It almost came off like an old Buster Keaton silent movie comedy! All the gags timed right down to the last second! A great repertory troupe you have there! Each episode develops the characters better. Even though we can anticipate the reactions sometimes, it's still fun to watch it all unfold. Great work Tim. Lots of fun. Not to mention you hit the prompts cleanly!

    Splash

    Eric did have an education today! Not only in stealing strawberries ...hehe. I think it was good for him to discover all kids aren't evil toward him, as seems to have been his bad luck up to now. Maybe his shields will be down enough for a really good-for-him person to enter. Let's hope! Another fine chapter Parker! This story is intriguing to read. I always look forward to the next leg in Eric's saga!

    Fear

    Thanks AC! Hmmm Thankfully I've only had to meet a mom ONCE! But it was a bit traumatic.

    Max's Terror

    Whew 129! I finally caught up! I can't imagine what the issue between Keon and Nix was, although I'm sure we'll eventually find out. The triangle between the boys is now clearly drawn and, going forward, it should be interesting. I'm sure not too fond of Theo, taking advantage of Lakota behind Lyric's back. Something tells me Lyric's ire is not something he'll be too fond of when she finds out. Keep up the good story!!

    Nix

    hey 129! I just found this story. Looks interesting. Max seems to be the object Nix will focus on, but I could be wrong, it's early. OK ,,,on to chapter 2
  17. The Kendall and Michael 'love scene' once again illustrated the deep feelings they have for each other. You do that so well Gary! Their love creates an aura that everyone else can perceive. Nate feels it too, and that's the good part of them becoming his temporary foster parents. Nate will have a wonderful example right before him, every day. I'm happy Michael bit the bullet and discussed Nate's question with him. I was beginning to worry he was delegating that kind of stuff to Kendall. Of course that ultimately would have been a huge mistake. This chapter left us with the hope that Nate will indeed survive under M&K ...hehe Great one Gary! Can't wait for more.

    Rescue

    Maybe there will be a search for the good Samaritan. Well, we can always hope. Eric needs help. Now. A great chapter Parker! Once again Eric shows initiative and ability, as he has before. If he can get out of this trap he's in, I believe he could easily make his way in the world. But, of course, right now his world is narrow and one-dimensional. It's a good story. A great adventure!
  19. It was a very fine chapter Tim! I was thinking 'regrouping' as I read it. Then noticed the title for the first time. Well, I guess 'past and future' is sort of regrouping, isn't it? Everything in the chapter, from the mundane explanation of finances by Russell's mom to the emotional recall of Evan's rebuffed offer to the promise of living with Evan again, was necessary girding Russell to be ready for his stunning honeymoon trip. Of course we still have the unknowns of Uncle Theo and Aunt Rikka, not to mention dear old dad. But everything can't be peaches and roses or a story loses interest ...hehe. Thanks for sharing this with us Tim!!
  20. Thanks CG for the comments! Yes, Twoey is figuring it all out and hasn't YET had the talk with Mom. When he does, he'll be even more determined to do everything right. Danny's problem could soon become clear.
  21. Thanks for the review Parker! I think you may be right about David needing to talk. The trouble with his relationship with Gary is they never do talk when the other has a problem. Now that the drums of war are beating nearer, he's close to being overwhelmed.
  22. “Wow Danny has a shitload full of trophies. He must be damned good!” I glanced at Gary, who doesn't know my spies saw Twoey leaving Danny's house, and seized my opportunity. “You Were In Danny's House?” He said, “Um ...yeah ...a couple Friday’s ago after school. Danny and I went down to the lake to kill some time and we stopped off for him to change. What's wrong?” Gary said, “Dude, don't ever go into Danny's house!” I reinforced it. “Really Twoey! Stay out of the whole situation. We're dead
  23. This world of creatures is far away from my comfortable world. I even refused to read Harry Potter ...hehe. As I mentioned in my review, the only demon I know is the woman in 5B. Now, all that being said, it's a great story and you kindly explain everything for those like me. My only knowledge of the Aesir comes from Der Ring des Nibelungen. So please keep up the good work! I believe all the mythology of the Earth is connected, as Joseph Campbell was fond of expositing, so your threat to explore Judeo-Christian mythology is happily anticipated in this quarter! But what do we dragons know? Billy already tamed one.

    Chapter 10

    It was rewarding to see communication winning in the Reece/David blip. It will actually make them stronger, I'm sure. Parker was correct in mentioning an extended family. Everyone needs family, and the cousins can help there. Also looming is the prospect of Dave's family. Poetic justice if good old mom pushes Reece into being the son of a new set of parents. I wonder if that would be the seismic event to awaken Mrs. Bigot. Hehe
  25. Well Eric isn't gonna get help in that town time to move on, I guess. But he needs to eat. A good chapter Parker, with nice sections of happy recollections and, of course, the reading activities. Bad moments too, like Creepy Colin I can't wait to follow Eric some more!
