    Watching

    Both Michael's dads will be happy for him; but Javier seems to be much more protective. He's not sure about Trey. How to put that in just a few words? Wally's continuing adventures...has a nice ring to it! Thanks for your comments and for responding so quickly!

    Watching

    Keeping an eye on Michael and his friends wasn't such a difficult thing. Not really. The hardest part of the morning had been his breakfast conversation with Javier and Oscar. He and the older men rose hours earlier than Michael, who exercised the prerogatives of being a teenager by sleeping late. When Oscar excused himself toward the end of the meal, Javier took the opportunity to interrogate him about the previous night. "Oscar said Michael was in your room last night." He met Javier's inte

    Chapter 1

    Thus ends a sad, beautiful tale, with a fillip of hope thrown to us at the end. You worked seamlessly with the prompt, which is a testament to your almost mesmerizing writing. Thank you!
  4. Thanks for writing this feature. I agree with Mann that it's wonderful to get a little insight into the authors we love to read.

    Math Homework

    Sorry if this overheated your cerebral cortex, but I am happy you at least enjoyed these a little. They were fun to attempt, especially Pascal's triangle. Every now and then we all have try something a bit odd, no?

    Math Homework

    I had to practice pronouncing them a couple of times. Then wrote them on the board. There are VERY few ten syllable words out there, and most of them are chemicals. Pascal's triangle is one of math's coolest and oddest treasures. I couldn't resist...thanks for reading these!

    You make me smile, even as I shake my head at myself for putting my full nerdiness on display. Thanks for having a go at these!

    You have to study everything in med school, and in pre-med, too. Sorry to have been so obscure in these, but the link in AC's review-reply will help...a little. Many thanks for attempting the extra credit!

    Ouch. It is hard to hear a heart shatter.

    Chapter 1

    TJ didn't just have the roof collapse on his life; he had the whole doggone building collapse on him. It's amazing he managed to crawl out of the rubble. Poor kid; but now maybe he can start building something new with people who love him.
  11. Three vivid and evocative dreams. I would have been kept up late at night thinking about any one of them.

    This is what happens when I get my grading done early...Thanks for reading!

    Math Homework

    Oh dear. Well, this is what happens when I finish my grading early. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_triangle for a little illumination on Pascal's triangle. Thanks for reading!
  14. Pascal It was Blaise Pascal, whose mad amazing triangle gave us accessible, revolutionary mathematic tricks to re-investigate abetalipoproteinemia, diastereoselectivity, inconceivably fast. Sequence Otorhinolaryngologists learn to evaluate integrals using fitted polynomials derived from sequences and series which is what your homework is about.
  15. Well, all teachers make mistakes. It's never good to destroy a kid's ego publicly, as they rarely forgive the hurt, even if the kid had it coming in spades. Hopefully St John doesn't gave to regret this more than he already does.
  16. Some videos do go viral, for whatever reason. Michael is Innocent, but he knows at least some of the score. He helps Wally see a little more of what might have been, and what he could at least partly recover. Their laughter is a real sign of some healing and growth. Thank you for reading so astutely and well. I hope the remainder of the story does not disappoint you.

    Flight

    The past in the form of Kenny has Wally running as hard as he can. That in itself is a big change. But you are right in that disaster could be just outside In the parking lot...glad you are sticking with it!

    Near Miss

    It is very hard for Wally to watch on the outside of relationships like Javier and Oscar's or Marc and lee's. And he has to wonder - he must realize - how he led himself astray. The sun dims when he sees this, for how could it seem otherwise? As for what I do about it, well, I cannot say. But thanks for reading and for posing the question!

    Welcome

    Wally apparently never had much in the way of family. Oscar and Javier are more family than he ever knew. I can't imagine him being Javi and oscar's child and going off to college to act as he did. They aren't adopting him, but surely we can hope some of that will rub off. Thank you for wanting this for Wally, it makes my day,

    Chapter 6

    Sooner or later, they will completely combust, or actually talk to each other and get past the pasteboard caricatures they have painted of the other. Want to be there, either way.
  21. A wonderful chapter. I especially like the reawakened Logan, the youngster who is returning to himself. Poor Kellar and Tobyn, having to tell Vega Pack about things the nearly unbelievable things that they believe to be true. Thanks to Tobyn, perhaps the whole messiah thing around Kellar will die down. But can that pack make a unified decision about moving to Morningstar? You know I want more, right?

    Led Home

    There are saints and angels in every corner, it seems. Cabrera is one of them. This is superbly a lifeline, but Wally must have felt a gut-wrenching moment of fear when Javier told him he'd seen the video. A place to be accepted and sheltered will be more than Wally could have hoped for. And will indeed be a very good thing, Again, let me thank you for reading the story!

    Led Home

    Certainly, this looks like a new friend, one he needs to survive on shore, once he stays there. And you are right, too...this is an opportunity to prove something about himself and to himself. You completely read my mind. Many thanks!

    Led Home

    Cabrera appears to be someone trustworthy. I'm sure Wally had a gut wrenching moment of fear that he'd gotten himself into something awful. Instead, he turned out to be very, very fortunate. Things are developing smoothly, but Wally surely understands that it all could go very badly wrong all too quickly. Many thanks for your patience, and for reading the story!

    Threatened

    This incident must remind Wally of the terrible pain he inflicted on so many, in addition to the horror Ted put him through. The older scientist fled when confronted with Javier Cabrera, so it seems doubtful he'd ever be brave enough to face a shark of any variety. And you're also right about friendship. He definitely needs friends. Many thanks for your insights, and for reading another chapter!
