Excellent story that left my spine tingling. Great timing for setting the mood for the upcoming holiday. I appreciate the careful diversion that quickly twisted to the unexpected, horrifying end.
Like Val, I need to read these. I do love anthologies and the wealth of reading they provide. Most are by authors I love and must read. Two are new authors to me and I am excited to read those stories also!
@clochette, @Bucket1, @Headstall, @dughlas, @CassieQ! Since you are not lurking around like Page, I'm sending a mass message here. Hope you all have a great day!
Hey Spike! I see that Drew is rubbing off on you. No, No! Not like that! *insert Albert's line* Like Drew you are taking a trip down the famous Egyptian river.
You've had a busy year, and you didn't even include a mention of your other duties and tales this year. This short tale definitely was a beautiful different side of your writing, and I loved it!
Gilbert Stanley Underwood was the architect of Timberline Lodge. It was a blend of Chalet and Craftsman styles although missing the overhanging eaves. This is one of my favourite places in the world. I grew up near Mt Hood and it was always in view everywhere I lived until I moved to Thailand.
further downhill from the lodge is Government Camp. Most homes there are traditional chalets like this. Must admit that not all are top-end like this one.
Love, love, love the Bruins, but understand why you think that. I've loved Cam since he played in Portland for the Winterhawks. I also liked Ray's aggressive defence, and was pissed when he got traded to the Caps. There's a team I hate, hate, hate!
Big sigh of relief now that we know Blake will recover. I think the chaos will settle a bit. Both Seth and Craig seem to be drifting into couple relationships, Seth with Ty and Craig with Blake. I think the four will work things out together. Two loving couples with the benefits of friends isn't easy, but it is possible at least in the near future. Maybe not forever. Blake will be safe with Seth's aunt and uncle. Craig will be safe with his mother. Now we need to see how Seth gets settled. I do sincerely hope it is not with his egg donor and the monster she created. Maybe Seth's dad will solve the problem. Wonderful chapter and looking forward to the next, @Ronyx
Eww! Not a problem really. After a few minutes in the Korner we'll have them take the initiation pledge and then they will be full-fledged Krew! The pledge is simple. All they have to do is say, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good!"
