    Balancing Act

    I'm enjoying your approach. It's like turning these word prompts into a kind of verbal Rorschach. Looking forward to how succinct you can make the next one.

    I'm kind of flabbergasted. I knew I enjoyed writing this. To receive such a lovely and encouraging response though, well, it has left me kind of tongue-tied. All I can really say is I'm genuinely grateful you took the time to share these kind words. Thank you.

    I've read every chapter and I'd really like to see more. I do hope you'll share an ending. I don't actively seek out "beautiful boy teenage love" stories, but I came across yours in the Most Favorited Stories link, started in, and stayed till the end. If nothing else, know that this story is still snagging new readers. In hope of closure, PBax

    Chapter 2

    The pond ice settles Pops and pings reverberate Frozen reeds take heed Yearning for spring is pointless Pause heavily for rebirth The walnut tree creaks Another limb drops to death Needs of fruit denied What remains feeds more deeply The root does its job blindly Coyotes howl clear Trysts of heat in bitter cold Loud cries of yearning Sparks of life not yet a pack The womb holds fast till April Fire takes me aside Dancing with my shivering No time to stagnate Rest prune

    Your welcoming words mean a lot. Thank you. I have to admit that I chose this story prompt not just because it was recent, but because it jangled some nerves that made me uncomfortable. That I was able to turn it into anything anyone would want to read more of is incredibly humbling. Thanks again for the boost.

    Thank you for taking the time to read and for the encouragement. It certainly makes it easier to open myself to the GA process.

    Chapter 1

    “Damn it! I bet that one left a scratch.” Barely 15 m.p.h. registered on the speedometer. Where the hell did they find this vicious gravel? “And when the fuck am I supposed to find time to fix potholes?” Steve screamed out loud and to no one. He stopped the truck, got out and took a leak. He’d only made it a mile down the gravel road. With another mile to go it was this or soak the seat of his new truck. He got back in, sank into the seat and reached for the liter of vodka tucked into his duffel
