  1. For Andy, this was a moment that light could flood his whole being. The darkness in which he has lived for so long is fading, at least for the time being. Thanks so very much for your comment and for reading so faithfully.
  2. Certainly Zander's heart must have stopped, or close to it. But who knows what happened? Perhaps that makes me evil, but that remains to be seen in the ensuing chapters, I suppose. Thanks again for reading and for your comments!
  3. It certainly looks as if another shoe dropped, if not a hobnailed boot. It landed squarely on poor Andy, however. He has bolted to his hidey hole, but he remains much shaken. Thank you for adding your thoughts.
  4. Thank you very, very much for your comments. I suspect any kind of poetry would be lost on the man in question. More and more signals of approaching spring have emerged for those who take a moment to stand still and observe. Again, thank you for reading and for adding your thoughts.
  5. Andy’s definitely wary of parties and getting too close. He’s been hurt too many times. Yet, Zander exerts a magnetic pull on him. You’ve identified this - thanks for your observations!
  6. It’s a sure sign of friendship that Zander and Kaz and Terry cornered Andy into running. But friendship is so unusual to him that he may not fully recognize it. I do like your characterization of friendship as poetry! Thanks so much for reading and for your comments.
  7. It makes me smile to know these characters engaged you so deeply. Even though I wrote this story a while ago, they live with me and inhabit my mind every day. Zander’s father reacted in a way I could only wish for everyone who comes out. Thanks a million for reading, and especially for your comments.
  8. Thank you very very much for your comment. This chapter amounts to an earthquake in Andy’s life. You’re quite right about Andy’s cautious approach to any event; doubly so in response to the one boy he can’t ignore. Thanks again!
  9. Thank you, for reading these and for sharing the spring with me. Perhaps there’s hope for us in the re-blooming of the world.
  10. The spring is beautiful, no matter how ugly some people might be. If I take time for the spring signs, perhaps I will remember to hope.
  11. I’m glad we can share the anticipation of spring. Thank you!
  12. Yes. You got it right. I think my five accomplishments beat any of his. Thanks for your comments.
  13. I think our shared weeks are as productive as anything Elon’s boss may have done. Thanks very much for reading!
  14. A Memo To Elon This past week I stood still and listened to the hopeful song of the cardinal calling over the sapsuckers drumming in the woods and the river’s riotous laughter as it chased broken ice to the sea. This past week I sniffed the morning air for signs of waking and warming earth astir and restless in its late winter slumber with dreams of vivid autumn colors that promise to blossom into green.
  15. Welcome, Afri. I’m glad you chose to join!

    Chapter 1

    I liked this very much. You made me experience the fall, feel the panic, and grasp at hope.
  17. I am frustrated by being allowed only one emoji/reaction icon. This is a masterful piece of writing, a fantastic work that left my imagination and heart working overtime.

    Chapter 1

    This evokes plenty of remembered memories and anxiety. I wish there had been a man like Chris for me.
  19. How could I not delight in these? Thank you!
  20. I’m glad I’m not the only one to whom that minor calamity has happened. Thank you so much for reading this set, and for your comments.
  21. Definitely messy and not the chocolate-heart valentine one might expect. But there’s a blueberry’s worth of hope, too. Thanks for your very kind words!
  22. You’re very welcome. I hope you can relate to both the highs and the lows in these. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
  23. Thank you very much for reading this set of skyscrapers. I appreciate your taking the time to comment.
  24. Thank you for reading. I appreciate your thoughts.
  25. Thank you for reading!
