    Just the packaging. And I showed the one I have off to one of my good friends who I knew would appreciate it Same Q.

    Which country? The person below me has a pathological fear of balloons.

    They played some during my last interrogation . . . I didn't tell them anything. It's bad but not that bad. Damn. No, I'm not in college. Probably won't go back until it's actually affordable for the common man. The person below me still watches their childhood cartoons.

    Last I checked, Mormon parents still aren't giving their kids the talk. I did go to a "maturation program" though, which is what helped set me up with my first boyfriend. My parents never found out about that, though. Same Q

    "It's okay Sandy, he didn't die or anything." But it is death, isn't it? It's the death of a friendship beyond comprehension, where both participants gave so much of themselves, and then it was brutally and tragically cut short. There's really nothing else to compare it to, other than death. The separation is the same. Even if (when) Michael and Kendall reforge their relationship, it won't be the same one it was before. It will be a new life form, like the friendship between Kendall and Chet. Thankfully, even as things die, new life always seems to find a way.

    I rewatched The Normal Heart two nights ago because I'm a masochist...

    I'll be spending Friday night at work, with cake for a good friend's going away party. The person below me is named Drew Espinosa.

    Does the one I'm trying to get published count?

    Thank you, Foster. You know, this was my first story I ever posted online, and I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I'd recommend checking out "Oak Shadows" next as far as my personal library goes.

    Death and Dawn

    Cynus commented on Cynus's story chapter in Death and Dawn

    It's a process, and it moves in waves. There are ups and downs, but time carries us forever forward and we cannot go back to the still waters from which we started. The surface of the water will always be forever altered by that which pierces it.

    It's rare for me to like a steak rare. Medium rare is acceptable, medium preferred. The person below me has a broad palate.

    The creamery I used to work at makes the most delectable hot-fudge brownie sundae's. I get mine with Mocha ice cream, and top it off with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, whipped cream and a cherry. Over 1000 calories in a serving, but I don't get it often. Same Q

    Have, and never will again. Too many memories. The person below me knows the secret to life.

    Another Passage

    Cynus commented on Cynus's story chapter in Another Passage

    Thanks, Val. I appreciate you. I mourn differently than most, I think, but I still mourn. Writing is extremely cathartic for me, and a poem seemed like the best way to represent that.

    What fleeting life and fleeting time, Has rendered me without a friend? For the clock has struck its final chime, And now the pyre burns. I wonder where the time has gone, For my friend journeys with it still, To the end of all and then beyond, This world no longer his concern. I cannot help but reminisce, Through words; the craft we both pursued, Of times which we will not have hence, And memories for which I yearn. Be well, my f

    Welcome, Shane. Welcome, Rockbottom.

    You bet.

    I promise more of that to come. These characters, although they aren't based on anyone specifically, I did borrow a character trait here and there from people I served with in the mission field. They're Frankenstein's of everyone I met. Ironically, the person who gifted the standoffish nature to Jason is now an avowed atheist.
  23. Cynus
    Sometimes the joy of developing a character is giving them depth when they did not have it before. Watch Jason closely, and you may be surprised at what you find.

    Fresh out of high school, long time in the cult. It does things to you; terrible things...

    I'm hoping that as you continue to see the different layers to the boys it will continue to remain ambiguous as to who you should be rooting for. My goal is always to create real characters, which is not something I'm always able to accomplish. Of course, if I do manage to do it properly then there is always a new layer to peel back.
