Me too! I've been waiting for Justin to post them here since he joined GA. I'm very happy he has started.

Sounds like a typical teenager with a lot of hormones.🤔

Dorf has said this so many times, I am beginning to believe somewhere in a distant parallel theres another Dorf by a different name who is a mage, wears an eye patch and much more aggressively shouts a similar message. A very interesting battle in which more experienced mages lost their lives. Jamie did what was the right thing to do, but when killing Artagon the method used by Jamie brought up the memory of Old Yeller. It was the idea of ending a mad mage's life in a cage Jamie had created. Bastyin will make a great addition to the team. It sounds as if he will catch up soon with the others in power. I loved the speculation in the team's discussion about what is magically happening in their world. I also loved the comments made. This was a very interesting chapter.

Are you talking about a surf boat? Knowing your humor, I think it is something much harder than the seats in the boat!

Your vast experience does help. I hope I get there someday.

Hi Drew! Just remember the Mekong River Dolphins are off limits! Have a nice day!

Hey Clo! Hang in there girl! Drew's throwing a temper tantrum for all the non-bullying he received yesterday. He'll get tired real soon.

Good start! Connor is going through the usual teenage problem of moving and inheriting a 90,000 acre ranch doesn't change is mind. Getting a horse did. I love the humor of teenagers who can change their ideas on a flip of a coin. Looking forward to following this story!

I also haven't a clue. They are all so well written and quite unique. I haven't been able to see any connections to the many writers I have read. Of course, like all good anthologies here, I suspect many of my favorite authors may use this anthology to experiment with their style, genre or content. Just finished the last entry and was amazed once again. I'm also at a loss to decide which ones I like more than the others.

Been on a couple of rides on surfboats. Not a lot of fun if the water is choppy. A twenty minute trip left me with a sore butt and wobbly legs for hours after. Now I use a ferry that takes more time and leaves me stand on the beach enjoying the islands much faster!

Your BACK! It seemed like a long time, but after reading this first chapter I know it will be worth the wait. As usually you caught me with the characters from the start. Baby, kids, and the family. Not going to guess where this is going for the same reason that was made in another comment. It's too soon, and you always have a lot of twists up your sleeve. However, I do like the posting time. I don't have to stay up until 3 AM in order to post my first comment. I can read and post before my bedtime now. I also like that you set the story in my old stomping grounds. Now I don't have to google to find pictures of landmarks or nearby towns. They are already in my memory. I see all the gang here posting comments once again, and am glad kbois reminded me to find the popcorn so I can sit and have fun reading the comments. Four pages already! Great start!

Thanks for the reminder kbois! Now to find that box of Pop Secret in the cupboard. I know it's there, but it's been a while since I needed it.

I'm sure @chris191070 will provide the timing to make sure MrsG stays on track!

Don't give her any ideas!

Very good point! I agree that using a gender to describe god is offensive and limits the scope of human understanding.

I liked your comments Valkyrie. The sentence used here is very close to the definition of the term Demisexual.

Considering what Mac and Devin have done during the school year and what's ahead this summer, the time with his parents was needed and special. Mac made good use of his alone time learning more about the Navaho's history and cooking for his mom. It is interesting that he doesn't feel alone when Devin isn't with him. This change is probably due to the strength and trust in their relationship now. Looking forward to the start of the trip.

There's also the power the machines can procure as the continue to dig into the planet. These could be harvested heat or maybe they have a way to use radiated energy from the elements found in the holes and convert it to electrical energy directly without having to use a power plant. I also like the idea @Al Norris mentioned when talking about quantum math and advances that might have been made by the ancients. It makes sense to me.

The cliffhanger raised a question for me. Is the dead person someone they will know? Will it be someone they have thought of as a friend? The new powers that developed while they are in the nether can be a game changer as mentioned by @centexhairysub if they work together, but do they have the power to overcome at least three mages who have been around much longer? Chilis mentioned that he and Porvus used the same spells but Porvus had at least twice the power. Jamie has the glove, but as yet the others don't if I remember correctly. That and the unity of their group may be enough to survive a standoff, but is it enough to overcome the evil mages? One last things is the flying ability of the group. Instead of it being used as a convenient way to travel, shouldn't the be using it as a defensive strategy to avoid spells cast at them? They need to continue thinking about how they can use a new power each time the get it as long as they are in a peaceful environment.

Thanks Clo I appreciate your help, but I did know that. Unfortunately, the keys icons are still too small.

I promise not to bully you Texy! Hope you have a great day.

@Aditus my friend, I need to apologize. You wrote a great review for the Featured Story, Give Me Back My Prompts. I incorrectly accredited the review to @wildone who posts the reviews. So, I will repeat what I say with the proper credits and hope you forgive me. I hate to admit it, but this is the second time I've done this. I have got to remember the guy in the top left corner of the page is not always the writer/author. Hopefully, the third time will be charmed. 😊

Thanks Chris! I'll fix it!

Not sure yet, but leaning towards the purple, green or blue colours.

You and me both. My big fingers on those tiny letters leave a very muddled message and/or take a lot of time to type if I correct all the mistakes!
