Stefan leads a truly difficult, dreadful existence. But many children live such lives under the radar. Be strong, and hang in there. Thanks for reading!

Thank you so much for beginning Stefan's story. Hang in there. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Chapter 60 Fire and Fury
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 60 Fire and Fury
We live in frustrating and far too exciting times. You capture this, my friend. Can our own humanity defeat the madmen? Your poem speaks to this. Thank you. -
@AC Benus These are a marvel and a delight. My goosebumps match yours. Thank you for sharing these!

So beautiful in its elegance, and its dreamlike flow. I think of a stream with its currents and eddies, I think of clouds at sunset, and the trill and call of birds from the deep wood where dusk is settling. It is enough to open the heart; so lovely as to well tears. Thank you.

1-10 - A Spell's Simplicity
Parker Owens commented on Cynus's story chapter in 1-10 - A Spell's Simplicity
This is indeed whatever it takes - the previous chapter was misnamed. Caleb drawn into the frantic power Liz draws forth, and shown a pathway to Ethan through his own blood. Ethan smiles in the vision: but is it a grin of a spirit's revenge on the living, a smile of the reunited dead, or something other than that? Whatever it is, clearly Liz will have gotten far more than she counted on; this was no mere informational event. Many thanks for this chapter! -
Liz just took a huge chance for Ethan and Caleb. Caleb had better appreciate that. You again show us how well you master the art of action in storytelling. Everything was fluid and utterly engrossing. Of course, now I want to know why Liz needs methadone, or heroin for this particular spell. Way to leave me wanting more. Sure you don't want to post another chapter in a few minutes or so?

Wow - this could be the title chapter right here - so very many changes are in play. Don is bouncing back, which points up the changes to the lives of this wonderful couple. And Louis is actually preparing to run a marathon! Don will be so good at coaching Louis, but Louis is in for changes at work, too. And then the bombshell change at the end - Miriam's reappearance. Whew! All kinds of life motion at work here. However, I suspect you have even more changes in store for us, more twists and turns. Thank you for a wonderful chapter and a thoroughly absorbing story. And I want more, soon, please.

Hugs. I am glad you survive to inspire and enrich us all, to breathe life into those who need you. This poem is a moving expression of your resolve, and reminds all of us that every connection, all hands and lives are precious.

Chapter 10: What if You Knew Their Names?
Parker Owens commented on BDANR's story chapter in Chapter 10: What if You Knew Their Names?
This is an amazing poem. I am inspired, called, stirred up in it. In it I hear legions of others who are voiceless as well as nameless. In it I hear the insistent call of people like you, who care. This should be required reading. Everywhere. -
Hugs. Many of them.
-
Thank you, AC. It is a moment to be captured, though it flees quickly, like a spark, like a flame. I really appreciate your thinking here.
-
This is so true for me, on many levels and in many ways. You speak for me here, and I am unquestionably resonating to your words.
-
Oh, my...how you saw that...amazing. Your eye and poetic sense is as keen as ever. Perhaps I should have followed this path: it is certainly dramatic and unlooked for. Thank you so much for this insight.
-
This is a delectable morsel in itself. I hope this one helps heighten your senses and whets your appetite. Thank you!
-
There are so many wonderful images here. Details of ecstasy written on lotus petals....unhex the music of our hearts...union of two tones mingling in the river of distractions. Each is inspiring, interesting, engaging. But you bring them together beautifully.
-
This is a wonderful chapter, and an unusual one - so many stories gloss over disagreements and difficulties, but this one faces a very difficult social situation squarely. It remains to be seen how well it resolves in subsequent chapters, but I much enjoyed watching this relationship develop. Looks sternly at Northie: There will be other chapters, right?

Is this what the wine connoisseurs call "a long finish?" In any event, I am glad the taste agrees with you. Thank you for reading, and for your comments.
-
You are so very kind to comment like this. As I said to Val, I hoped to capture an instant, just one moment. If you think it worked, then I can sleep easy tonight.

Why have a plain bagel when you can have everything you wanted on it? Just saying. Thanks a ton for your comments!

I like these - not sure if I can approach them in the time I have, but I do like them... -
Oh, yes - an absolutely luscious dish for this spice! Great!
-
How to describe the taste of a delicious, unforgettable moment? That instant in time before the brain kicks in with its need to edit, comment or chatter? It is a delectable second or two. Thanks for reading and for your comment.

Breathless, flushed, euphoric, chests heaving, pulses race, all thought dispersed like mist before the sun; no words: every mindless outcry silenced in all-consuming fire; and love, panting, remains.
