In stories a day is a second or at least 8 hours on this web site. We shall see what happens tonight.

Yes, a judge's bias does and can play a role.
-
Yes, I think so as well. Pete has taken to the idea of Bobby becoming his son. Bobby likes the idea as well.
-
Thanks for reading and commenting. I'm glad you are enjoying it. Tell me that when the story is finished 😀

You are more knowledgeable about this than I am, obviously. I spent several years in Europe. During that time I met a lot of young people who were victims of parental hate, one boy, who was 18 at that time, told me his parents tossed him out at the age of 13. I asked him how he lived, he told me. Not a happy story. He now works as a bartender and lives a lonely life. I met another young man who fled from his home country. I keep in touch with him, he has found a partner and between them, they have bought a small business. Life is hard for a lot of people, but it is the hardest for those who only see the backs of the people who should be helping them and loving them. Thanks for your comments. You may have said that in jest, but the idea has merit

The alarm went off at six, the time I normally got out of bed to get ready for work. Once you have the habit of getting up early, it’s hard to break. I got up, took the folded clothes and set them outside the guest room door and went to take a shower. When I finished my ablutions, I dressed and started breakfast. I just sat down with a cup of coffee when I saw Bobby walking into the kitchen. “Good morning Bobby, how did you sleep?” “I slept well, I had a dream of my mother and I sitting on a

As you and I both know, that will never happen and children will continue to be made to feel unwanted. I haven't focused on adults who are made to feel unwanted for the same reason, but I will. Society can be and is cruel to anyone who does not meet their norm.
-
I agree, these people are heartless. Cruelty is unforgiven, no matter if it affects an animal or a human being.
-
Thanks, as with life, there are surprises along the way
-
Yes as you will read in a later chapter. His mother is dead.
-
The problem is there isn't enough good guys. I financial support groups that help these kids. I found most people I talk to, talk the game until they are asked to make a commitment, then they disappear. There are a lot of people with blind eyes. Thanks for your comment. You gave me a soapbox
-
if they could, I'd agree
-
As weird as that may sound, but they should be.
-
I'm glad. Thanks for reading chapter 1
-
Why? For many young boys, out on the street, this is a reality. Why are they on the street? I don't understand, but they are there. Most end up dead, drug users, unless someone steps in and helps them. I hope you enjoy this story.
-
The author told me this will play out as life plays out. I'm joshing. Pete and Bobby are off to a good start. Pete made it clear he wasn't into boys.
-
I think he may have if Pete has his way.
-
you have experienced a unique joy, you understand Scott very well. I'm glad my story resonating with with you.
-
I wasn't expecting this comment but I'm very happy I wrote this short story. It seemed to have some connection to you. Yes, I have had several dogs in my years, faithful, loving animals. Thanks for your comment.
-
Why not? If it brings a smile. great and a loving memory, better yet

“Good night Mr. Atwood, unless you need me for anything, I’ll be going now.” “Good night Mrs. Marlow, be careful, it’s very cold outside.” “Pete, I’m leaving. I have all of the Altmeyer accounts up to date. I want to get to my sister’s before it’s too late. I’m not sure what the conditions of the roads will be once I leave the city.” “Good night Dave, drive carefully and I’ll see you on Monday.” Dave and I are partners in an accounting firm. After getting my MBA and Dave getting

It’s the small things in life that lead to surprise endings. A package of crackers, has a significant impact on a small boy. Children are turned out to the streets, age not being a factor. There are angels that live among us, this is the story of one such angel and a package of crackers.
