  1. I’m really glad you’re reading g this again, and that you found it poignant and believable. It was a great chapter to write, too.

    A Short Ride

    I think it’s a symptom of his scared some people are of others who are strangers, or who look like they’re less better off. Unfortunately, it happens. However, we also know it’s not a universal reaction.
  3. Many thanks, @Myr for delving deep through the many poems posted here. So many forms that need to be attempted!

    Chapter 1

    Wow. A story that leaves me with vivid images, a soundscape for my memory, and lots of questions. Awesome.

    Fifty-Six

    Well. It remains to be seen if Donna has undone all the good Liam’s nurses, therapists and instructors have performed over the past years. That Donna sets herself up as judge and jury tells me she’s in the wrong line of work. For Liam, we’ve now returned to the scenes that began this story. But now we have a lot more context and investment in Liam. I hope his first act is to write to Ed.
  6. Hope you are doing better … at least as well as the boys seem to be doing. Thanks for a sunrise sort of chapter.

    Chapter 1

    I liked this, especially for its images and echoes of favorite verses. Thank you.
  8. A dark spirited ride, followed by a very happy reunion. I’m very happy to have read it! Now for the bus to establish themselves. Looking forward to that, too.
  9. I appreciate that you at least talked about the why of unprotected sex; the undeniable draw it can exercise. Todd understood the risks, and accepted them in the moment. The narrative blurs just how rational (or not) that decision might have been.
  10. I hope you enjoy this gentle story.

    Commendatore

    I’m very glad you’re reading!
  12. I’m first, perhaps. I love the differences you write between Augie’s grandmother - who has become a town lady - and Augie himself. That contrast is fun to watch. Like Runyan and the boys - and possibly Gran, too - I hope Willy James will soon make an appearance. And you left us with a cliffhanger to boot!
  13. Warrensville had a nice welcome, and a great contrast to Runyan’s harrowing tale. Let’s hope nobody finds the buried bodies.

    Chapter 11

    Okay. This is an actual cliffhanger. My gut is churning and my heart is left undone.
  15. Wow! An avoided robbery and a rescue! And now maybe there will be a defeat of the nasty uncle, all on the way to Barnswallow. Hope they all arrive in one piece.

    Chapter 10

    There are many reasons to be fearful of The Unspoken. That the band travels together is wise. I am concerned that they have not yet discussed or practiced how to use their gifts in manipulating fire, water and earth as means of defending themselves or subduing their quarry.

    We Danced

    Okay, these guys aren’t the only ones with tears forming. I’m sure going to miss the Nasser Ranch, but you’ve crafted a marvelous story.
  18. What a lovely end to a wonderful day. I hope these two figure out their new cleanup device, and continue to explore one another.

    Fifty-Five

    Thank you for this chapter. It’s a huge step for Liam to leave the hospital; my hope is that he can survive and establish some friendships as he waits for Ed.
  20. That’s a beautiful and tender and heartbreaking story. It’s one that deserves to be read many times over.

    Chapter 9

    I’m apprehensive about what must come next: danger, battle, pain. I’m delighted by the love Malik admits for Rhaelce. And the group that has banded together is strong, at least for the moment. Kalloh remains the one who is the biggest mystery to me.
  22. And they’re on their way! Now to watch August and Fletcher make a grand new start in their lives together.

    Geron Kees

    I am so sad to hear this. He was ever kind and encouraging. He engaged his readers, and his stories invited us to keep reading. I will miss him.

    Chapter 2

    Part Two is as absorbing as Part One. I had to resist skipping ahead. As it was, I liked the picture you painted of the new earth, full of trees and green. Perhaps the powers of earth figured James and Mateo would go looking, anyway - and nobody then living would be alive if they returned. Looking forward to the next installment.

    Chapter 1

    I’m fascinated. And Silas as a lover as well as a computer is an idea I’m going to keep thinking on. Thanks for this story!
