"After I'm Done, I'm Gonna Be a Dead Man. Deal?"
Robert Rex commented on Robert Rex's story chapter in "After I'm Done, I'm Gonna Be a Dead Man. Deal?"
Glad you like the writing style, Maurice! It's a little different, and not everyone gets it--but think the "assumed I's" help keep the interest up; besides, it's not the way we think to ourselves. We never say, "I need to go to the grocery", it's just "Need to go to make groceries". As for Frank, I'm thinking (and hoping) you'll grow to understand and like him in the chapters ahead. He's like a lot of folks--in over his head before he understands how he got there. Thanks for following the story--and the comments! -
Brian, truly glad you stuck it out through the plot twists and turns! Glad you liked the story--and maybe we'll see Bulldog and Bubba again soon! Again, thanks for the comments and encouragement!
-
Aw, thanks, Carlos! Such kind words! And appreciate that you owned up to getting me involved in GA as a writer--you sure you wanna do that? These guys may come after you! I appreciate your comments--and your support--more than you know. And you already know I'm a fan of YOUR writing--really looking forward to seeing where "Autumn" goes, and always enjoy your short prompt stories. THANK YOU for your support and encouragement! And glad you liked "Landfall".
-
Thanks for the kind words--and for all the help in getting "Landfall" done! It's been a pleasure! And, think having the boys back may inspire continutation of the tale; we'll see. Maybe this time from the boys' perspectives. I DO think there's enough of the characters from the bar, as well as Bubba and Bulldog's characters to follow up. THANK YOU for the support on all this! YOU made the difference!
-
THANK YOU for the kind words, Defiance! Yup, the boys really did suffer--perhaps far, far more than even Barry's worst nightmares. Thankfully Trey seems to have a handle on it; hopefully Cory can work past the nagging issues he's still dealing with. I'm seriously considering another story, perhaps this time focusing on the boys, with Bubba and Bulldog still around. Or, perhaps, focusing on a couple of characters from the bar, which would still have Bubba and Bulldog's influence. We'll see. Again, thanks for the kind words and sticking with the story. It's been a fun tale to tell.
-
Mike, so very glad you've enjoyed this tale! It's definitely been an up and down ride for our heroes...and admittedly, I'm a sucker for a happy ending. THANK YOU for hanging in on the story! Maybe we'll see the guys again before too long.
-
Glad you're here, Rob! Looking forward to getting to know ya and reading your stuff!

Nice job portraying the desperation of someone so totally alone, craving contact; yet unable to connect. And, even so, lots of questions unasked--and unanswered. Good job!

All I'm Thinking About
Robert Rex commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in All I'm Thinking About
Loved the shitstorm you built around the police chief! Realistic--and fun. And yeah, I'm suspecting the two "arresting" officers are gonna re-appear later in the story; it's not gonna be a case where they disappear after the disciplinary action they deserve. Another fine chapter, and a helluva way to open the new story! You did well, buddy! -
Hm....so there's a lumberjack fantasy running loose in that head of yours? Like it! Glad you enjoyed the chapter; yeah, it WAS a busy one! And, Dave hasn't been really vocal about his feelings and it's nice to hear it from him. Glad ya loved it, hope you like the next chapter as well! Thanks for your comments--and encouragement, buddy!
-
Fine writing and fine storytelling! For me, the best test of sci-fi is how well it succeeds in telling the human tale--it's not about technology or the wonders of viewing unknown places or things. You've succeeded admirably in that with a story that naturally flows, that keeps the attention, that keeps me wanting more. I'm looking forward to your next stories!
-
Glad you liked the reunion with the boys, Onim--it was really tough to think through what it would have been like for them to have so much loss pushed on them all at once. Think the think that'd nail my ass, were I in their situation, would be seeing the death broadcast over and over. No wonder Cory was so traumatized! Yeah, I've got a history of "reusing" characters, so some of those characters may very well appear in future storylines. As I've said before, I've grown to love these characters! Thanks for following the story, and the great comments. And no, the break isn't done yet...but perhaps a new story soon!
-
Thanks, Lit, for the kind words! Remarkable how fond I've grown of these characters...and yeah, the "spidey sense" must be contagious. Perhaps the next chapter of this tale--if there is one--will explore that in a little more detail. I appreciate your reading and your comments--THANK YOU!
-
Thanks, Lady! Truly, this has been a fun story to write--and quite frankly the original end of this tale was far darker! I'm glad it worked out to be a happier ending! We'll see what happens with Bubba, Bulldog, and the boys on down the road..... Thanks for sticking with the story and the always encouraging comments!
-
What a messed up family! Thank God for Adam and Lexi! Hoping, despite the letter, that the trip to the coast will help Jason clear his head. Good job writing characters we can care for--and hate (his mom)! More, More!
-
Glad you enjoyed the story, Dave! And you're right--they DO never forget. We'll see what develops, and yeah, I'm open to your suggestions! Thanks for the comments!
-
Talin's past was tough, but a major act of both bravery and love that he shared it. The war is already underway--and the upcoming dinner will reveal just how much farther along it is than anyone suspects. Talin's involvement will be assured, if for no other reason than protecting Demetri! GREAT job, nice cliffhanger, characters you can care about...bring on that next chapter, you've done well here!
-
Yeah, through it all, the boys had as much to deal with as anyone; perhaps a story may be told from their perspective. Or perhaps future adventures. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for you comments and kind words!
-
Loved the setup (and the line) paraphrased, "I'll fight to the death the rehab." Searing line! Keep up the good work!
-
Nicely done start--gonna be fun to see where you take this! More, more!
-
The link between Silas and Brady ... and Brady's protective instincts kick in. Damn cliffhangers... <grin> Another fine job--looking forward to the next chapter!

Even though most of the day was lost being nicely spaced out by Bubba's letter, did fix some nibbles, shoved 'em into the fridge, thinking we could have 'em with a beer or two when Bubba gets in later tonight. Headed out to the bar around 9pm, just to see who was out. Bryant was working. Plus, had a surprise or two. The bar actually had a pretty good crowd, maybe 40 or so people. A mix of some of the regulars, who had no holiday plans, plus a few out-of-towners hiding out from or taking a break

Awwwwww, Onim......I'm really glad you liked the chapter! Yeah, Randy is a nasty little thief, and, quite frankly, is based kinda-sorta on a former bartender buddy of mine. How can anyone in that role ever expect to get away with something like that?!?! And glad you liked the chapter close, and the Gladys Knight touch. If you haven't scroll down in the comments, and there are a couple of You Tube videos of her and the song to enjoy. Thanks for sticking with the story! And thanks for the kind words!

Hot, Hot, HOT!!! You owe me a new monitor--the current one sizzled out as I was reading, and a new keyboard because....well, because! Intense!
-
Tense chapter! Candy did exactly as expected--just amazed she didn't try to negotiate a higher price even after his "take it or leave it" offer. And I think the makup sex rule is a good one. Ending on a funny note worked well. Good job!
