Eric has dodged another arrow slung at him by fate. You’re right that he’s getting good at survival by this time. Thanks for commenting and reading!
-
I’m so grateful you left a comment. Thank you. And re-reading? Oh my. I’m doubly grateful. Yes, Eustace recognizes Eric’s value and worth, if for no other reason than he volunteered to help with a thankless task. And company for Eustace is a huge plus.
-
Eustace is getting used to Eric, just as Eric is discovering Eustace. I think they both have plenty left to figure out. Eric must be very glad for at least one sure meal a day, but you’re right that he’s still going to be hungry, even so. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Mistakes and Surprises
Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Mistakes and Surprises
Eric is unused to kindness, let alone new clothes. All of this is bright new uncharted territory for him. He’s an ingenious fellow - he’ll find a way to wash. Thanks so much for reading and commenting ! -
Ambrose can no more help himself asking questions than he can stop breathing. And in the case of his father, he’s very protective. Thanks for having read this far and for your comments.
-
Toby wasn’t quite the kind of friend Eric needed. He deserves that scowl face you used in your perceptive comment. You’re right that Eustace got the wrong idea entirely. But then, that might go with a preconceived notion of what it means to be an Anderson.
-
Toby’s not a bad sort, just completely ignorant of what’s going on in Eric’s mind. Eric is showing himself to be a lot more resourceful than he has given himself credit for. And yes, I think he ate well. Thanks for your reading and comments.
-
Eric gets uncomfortable under any sort of questioning. He’s not only trying hard to hide in plain sight, he’s not really used to anyone listening either. Thanks so much for reading, and for your comments!

Wayne, this is awesome. Love the way you use the storm as a metaphor.
-
Such a sweet chapter, and a wonderful new life opens for CJ and Owen. They’re The Dads now. I don’t think Liebe will be spoiled rotten, but it’s certain that she’ll be well loved. Beautifully done.
-
I love it! Awesome response to a wacky prompt!
-
Chris walked away, unable to bear the burden of Tad’s illness. Nate is broken over it. Tad is indeed someone very, very special. At least Chris might understand Nate. As for poor Kent, he really doesn’t need car trouble on top of everything else. My heart breaks for them all.

interview Ask an Author 2.0 #20
Parker Owens commented on Carlos Hazday's blog entry in Gay Authors News
Thanks to you for taking us to Australia this time. And my hat is off to all who took time to respond. I’m especially struck by @Rigby Taylor‘s words: There've been loads of ‘Gay’ stories about the perils of ‘coming out’ and ‘finding oneself’, suggesting homosexuality is still a problem to be exorcised. There is so much truth in that. -
Jock is certainly an entertaining comrade. Danny Boy was lucky to grow up with him as a schoolmate. But now we begin to see that aspect of Danny that must remain hidden; for he hardly believes in it himself.
-
Oh, the dread and anticipation of testing results! Some things never change. And you brought in one of my favorite authors, Gerald Durrell. How could I not be interested?
-
You paint a picture of a rainy day idyll. I can see it in my mind’s eye. Very lovely!
-
A few years ago, I had a highly territorial cardinal which spent most of its days launching furious attacks on its reflection in the windows on all sides of the house. Nothing seemed to dissuade it.
-
Thank you, Adi. I’m very glad you liked it.
-
Pete’s not an easy man to root for. Nobody much likes a hotheaded man who rants at the smallest errors. That he can turn on the charm can’t be a reassurance for Henry. If I were McAllister, I’d be watching very carefully. But at least he’s giving Pete a chance at redemption.
-
Awesome story. What an excellent dose of revenge on someone who needed to be taken down several pegs. Kelly’s Dad was pretty good about telling-but-not-telling what he knew was the truth. What would the Muskrats do to top that?
-
You were most kind to read this poem, still more to leave a response. I’m very grateful you chose to read this, and glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much!
-
I liked your response to the Griselda prompt. I loved how you used tears and bear in two successive couplets, which spell so much the same, yet sound so different.
-
This is beautiful. You speak to far too many experiences, and remind us of what’s most important. And remember I love you, too.
-
Dream or reality? He went back after all. But you’re right that the beat is infectious and turns the head to thinking about music and rhythm. Thank you for reading this, and for your response.
-
Even if it was poetry...That’s great to hear! Thank you for reading this despite its form, and for your response. It just came off the pen that way...
