    I liked this story very much, and will look forward to trying the soup one day. I’m enjoying all these seasonal treats!
  2. These are great questions, and I’m fascinated by the range of answers. Of course, I’m glad Michael and Blaine got under your skin. Funny how characters - no matter who brought them to life - can do that. Thank you for another great installment!
  3. Thanks to both @AC Benus and @Thorn Wilde for letting me go to sleep with a smile on my lips.
  4. Thanks for this fascinating story. Jair found a way out of this immediate situation, but I fear Joseph will not thank Jair, nor cease to be his enemy from this moment forward.
  5. Congratulations, Carlos! Fantastic news!

    The Fruitcake

    Another beautiful tale. A perfect fruitcake kind of story. I loved it.
  7. Happy Birthday, and thank you for sharing so many things that evoke sounds, senses and scents long remembered.

    Officer Wells

    Orson and Wells. Smirks aren’t usually a mile wide, but perhaps you’ll make an exception in my case. I loved this chapter. Mason and Jeremy, then Orson and Joseph find love and comfort at Camp Refuge. You make it sound magical.
  9. What a wonderful tale. It warmed my heart on an icy day. And the cookies are a variant on one if my favorites! Thank you.
  10. Happy Birthday, Gary! I wish you every joy.

    Abattoir Boy

    I enjoyed this. I can feel the isolation of both men, which you capture very well. Thank you.
  12. These two young men warm my heart. Thank you for this extra chapter on a favorite pair.

    Killers

    Your poem resonates deeply with me; my students encounter roads and crosswalks several times a day, every day. These tragedies could happen to any one of us. Who are we becoming?
  14. I’m happy this side dish warmed you. Thank you, tim.

    The Winner

    You didn’t have to end it without telling. I know Chipper is a winner with me. I too, see a long career for him. Maybe a Super Bowl halftime appearance next year? Thank you, thank you for allowing me the privilege of reading and working on this.
  16. Happy Birthday, Dodger! May there be many more to come.
  17. Thank you, Dugh. You are most kind.
  18. You, too, have been one of the great joys for which I’m grateful. Thank you.
  19. Thank you, Val. And there might be a bit of stuffing left over...
  20. Thank you, Gary.
  21. I have, and will. Thank you.

    Chapter 1

    Aaron Fletcher is hard to like; Malcolm grew on me as I read deeper into the story. But now these two characters are woven together, and I need to see how the fabric turns out.

    Maybe Later

    This is such a wonderful sweet story. Trevor certainly recognizes what he wants, and helps Pat to see that, too. Thank you.
  24. I’m grateful for you all, everyone; for your wisdom and laughter and wit; for song and for silence, for sonnets and skyscrapers, and spellbinding stories to savor; all a feast for the heart and friendship. Happy Thanksgiving.

    This is a Happy Thanksgiving kind of chapter. I hope there are many other Eliases out there who can have a similar chapter in their lives.
