    Loss

    I can feel poor Troy's heart breaking, his spirit unraveling as his circumstances deteriorate. He's had to survive and bury his grief, but it refuses to stay buried. I really wonder if he and Grant will be able to establish a connection, or if that grief will bar the way. Will Grant turn over the journal to Troy? Let him know he's seen it? Or will he keep that fact to himself? I'm looking forward to the next chapter!
  2. Thank you, my dear brother. You were kind to read and respond to these. Not the Apple talks about that fall, which only I may own. The Last of Them speaks of hope indeed, the last bright gift after someone pried open Pandora’s UPS package.
  3. You are enormously kind. Your hugs are warmth itself. Thank you for reading these.
  4. I’m glad you join me in choosing to ignore that ancient doctrine and just enjoy our apples. It makes me smile that The Last if Them helps you color life. I shall think of your stars. I’m very grateful you read these and responded to them.
  5. I get very nice, warm vibes between Simon and Jeff. I sincerely hope they continue. Even so, Jeff is helping Simon learn the need to be observant, along with other lessons. Great chapter.
  6. What a splendid parting line to end the chapter! Through Jimmy we get introduced to more fascinating characters. I’m anticipating the minefield that he and Tristian are about to navigate. Soon, I hope?

    I’m sorry for the pain you express and that I feel in this poem. It is so very eloquent.
  8. These three moved me, made be remember hurt and love I have felt and experienced. All three spoke to me. Breathing automatons who do the right things... so the normal among us leave them alone These lines are heartbreaking. At the same time, my heart is lifted by Number 3: what I feel for them surprises me daily Number 1 makes me feel a yearning to be open to another, in spite of the pain he may have given. Somehow, it may heal the heart to support and love him, if he will have that. Thank you for these.
  9. I’m enjoying getting deeper into each of these men and their lives. I don’t want to wait for more. Well done!
  10. As others have said, it’s hard to choose a favorite. I’m partial to So Weeps The Willow, but there is so much to love in Cole’s oeuvre.

    This is a beautiful tale, and magical. Thank you for sharing it.

    Chapter 3 Help

    How sad this is. So many poignant memories and moments, and all in the past now. However, the good Doctor had wise words, and Chase actually listened, at least this time. Perhaps he has a chance to heal now.
  13. Thank you for picking up on the notion of original sin woven into the fabric of Not the Apple. You also heard me well in Overwintering, The Last of Them has several sources, and it makes me glad that its reflection has shone on you too.
  14. Overwintering came to mind as a poem to remind us of the need to help those with no roof and no warmth. Not the Apple was written following the advice to write what I felt. The Last has several sources. I’m very glad these connected with you.
  15. Thanks for reading these. Each one has a different feel, so I’m glad they spoke to you.

    From the Ashes

    You have me very interested in these characters. I feel for Troy. Vermont cold in winter is no joke, and very hard to work in.

    What a chapter. A sexy successful hit for the screenwriters, but outside work, things are breaking into pieces. It's engaging reading. I'm only sorry I have to wait for the next chapter: I'm looking forward to the talk the four men must soon have.
  18. Not the Apple It's not the apple's fault, nor an error of the branch that made the garden wither and the frail flowers fall and fade; no design flaw in skin or seed caused their leaves to yellow and curl, admitting in their dried up drifts to a newly discovered mortality, and neither were tart sweet flesh within nor shining black indwelling seeds to blame. Blighted boxwood, bean and begonia shrivel under the shining sun, and half-furred

    Red Noon

    Thank you for your poem describing the horror unfolding. I will be thinking of you.
  20. Color me interested in the Kyle Harper book. Sounds fascinating. And I loved Dune, too!
  21. I love these glimpses of stationery life. Thanks very much for reminding me of the short lives of my erasers. Heaven knows what the long suffering four-color pen must think. Or does it have a multiple personality?
  22. Oh, boy. You’re setting the stage for a great story. I’m looking forward to it. Poor James, being chucked into the deep end like this.

    Vegas

    Thanks for a great story, even if these two went to the wrong cities. But as you say, there’s always free agency. Hope we might see them again one day.
  24. I like this one! And Leo is the lucky one.

    Chapter 6

    How awful Sitka was so badly hurt defending his mate. Jahke must feel terrible. And what will that mean for the rest of the residents of the house?
