I am so excited for you all to read the next few chapters that I'm going to keep my mouth shut for the most part. Your insights are wonderful, Dr. I look forward to seeing your reaction when the rest of the story reveals itself. Silas is doing a lot of growing in this section of the story, and Amy is determined to help him continue to do so. It's like all the other characters are landmarks on Silas' path through life, helping him Navigate to where he's trying to go. I'm going to post something on the forums before the end of the day about the Cinnabon experience. I anticipate it's going to be a funny read, but I haven't written it yet, so my words might take a completely different path.

And there is plenty more to come. The next few chapters are going to affect a lot, so stay tuned!

Thanks! I'm trying to adhere to the philosophy of "Write so your secondary characters think that the story is about them". Don't know if I'm doing a good job or not, but that's the goal!

I wanted that line to resonate with Silas, and I'm glad that it did for you. In essence, The Navigator is largely about Silas' path home, though the nature of that path and that home are both still in question, and i'll not give any more spoilers. Silas Drake's future is fairly set in my mind, and although I won't say exactly what he becomes in the future, that was one of the potential options.

It was funner to write than I had anticipated. I admit to being a bit scared of responding to the prompt when I first received it, but once I got into it the story practically wrote itself. I'm glad it was able to resonate with you.

Taoism doesn't really touch on the afterlife, but I believe that if it did, this would be similar to what would arise. I wrote this from the perspective of a Taoist who was given a prompt about Christ, and this is what came of it. I'm sure the fact that I recently wrote a long philosophical blog post has something to do with it as well. I'm glad that this story was able to connect to you. We're all in this together, and we all need each other. Be well, LadyDe.

Amy closed her book as soon as Silas was awake. He looked at her, blinking to clear the sleep from his eyes as he sat up straight and glanced at Adelaide who was sitting at Amy's feet and enjoying Amy's fingers rhythmically scratching her behind her ears. "You were waiting for me to get up?" Silas asked, and Adelaide left Amy at the sound of his voice and walked over to put her front paws in his lap. "You're usually not up this early." "Something you only know because you're always leavi

Stacey is her own brand of philosopher. All four of them are, really. Brady is the deep thinker, Jack is the eternal optimist, Stacey nurtures, and Theo is the protector. They all have their modes by which they lift each other up.

Wow! Thanks, Stephen. I appreciate the kudos. It took me a few days if that helps, haha! "White space" is actually a meditation technique I use sometimes that involves creating the empty white void in my mind and then using it as a backdrop for whatever I need to meditate on. It seemed logical to use it as a basis for the afterlife as well.

You're welcome. Thank you for reading it.

My friend gave me the prompt of "African White Space Christ". This seemed to be the only logical result. I'm glad that it was inspiring for someone.

The light shone brightly in Gabriel's eyes as he tried to rise to a sitting position, but his body ached in response and he collapsed against the hospital bed, panting. He scanned the room, taking in the sight of the monitor that showed his heart rate and several other things he didn't understand. An IV was being fed into his arm and there was a breathing tube in his nose. Gabriel couldn't remember what had brought him there. He knew that he had been sick, but the last thing he could remembe

Gabriel is in the hospital and is gravely ill. After going unconscious as a result of the sickness he awakes to a surreal environment and takes an unexpected journey.

Saturday will mark a new day in the epic of Silas and Brady, and I promise the sweetness isn't over. Thanks for the review, Valkyrie.
-
What an interesting idea . . . I suppose I'd have to make one in order to do that. I think that Brady would have had an easier time had he never known that Jack had given Silas his number. Then he wouldn't be waiting for Silas to call, like he is now.

I'm just hoping to whet everyone's appetite for more Navigator to come. I don't determine what length the chapters are going to be, I let the characters do that. Turned out that the band only had so much to say this time around.
-
The thing to note here, I think, is that the band has no idea what has been going on with Silas since he arrived in Crow's Lake. Brady and the band are still thinking of Silas as he was when they left him. A large part of the philosophy behind the story as that everyone is in a constant state of transition.
-
Saturday, or late Friday night depending on where you live. The story follows a pattern of two chapters from Silas' point of view and one from Brady's. In writing this I decided to take the risk of running two story lines side by side, and hopefully that isn't too distracting.
-
You'll get another half-chapter three chapters from now. The rest should be full, from my recollection. I normally don't write them this short, but it's the length that it wanted to be. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I suppose it's time to admit that I know even less about cars than I do about dogs...
