    Chapter 1

    Such a wonderful story of discovering love in the most unexpected way.

    Very sweet, very lovely. Can I be around in a month or so?

    A Blind Spirit

    Oh, beautiful...and gruesome. A Well told dark vignette!

    Please expand this. It's heartbreaking, yet beautiful.

    Hunting

    Hunting, in so many guises, and you have hit upon several. Hunting for a new existence, for home, and for an old acquaintance...he cannot really call Marc a friend. The desperation, or urgency, if you like, grows. The mere possibility of returning to his parents must lend some added weight . Thank you for reading, and for lending your support.
  6. This has been a year to mirror the poem you posted, indeed. I can only hope for better. In the meantime, this fills me with sadness.

    Or a bridge he hopes still has a few planks left in it, yes. If nothing else, it shows how desperate a predator can get....thanks for reading and for commenting!

    Hunting

    He finished his finals early. He always had. This time, he had to do it the hard way, writing his own papers. Last term, he had simply paid someone else to write them while he planned his next event. He could afford it. Then. This term, he needed to keep on the move, stay in public places, stay away from anywhere Ted and his roommate might choose to appear. And he had to justify his presence in the library study area in the late hours. The laptop helped. But eventually, he made the choice to f

    Chapter 51

    Autumn is an awesome, grand-slam, lotto-jackpot, keep-for-a-lifetime poem. Every line brims with fantastic images: felted skies, a sidewalk stained with ghosts, a carpet of leaves conjured in my mind; and tears shed by the weeping sun. This poem is one I will cherish, memorize, and best of all, post on my classroom door. Say makes me want to weep, knowing how apprehensive you may be feeling. And yet you spare us all a moment of comfort, too. I cannot know anything with certainty, except that my heart goes out to you in hope and love and thanks.

    First Date

    Sounds like a fun outing, and one with some promise! Wonderful build up, too. Hope everything goes as planned....

    Chapter 29

    Thank you for letting us witness the real growth, the real change in both Jason and Corey. How good it was that Corey could calm down and work past the visceral reaction he had. He could see Jason's pain and sincerity the moment they were together again. That each can recognize the love they share and the need to trust as essential, bodes well for the happy ending I have been hoping for. Wonderful story!
  12. Fletcher's eyes and heart are fully opened. He has changed so much since they went out to dinner so long ago. So has Tomas. Surely it is love and delight in one another that makes their budding and flowering happen. And it is such fun to write about. Thank you for your encouraging words, Gary...P
  13. The tradition seems similar to the Central American. The party was partly Tomas and partly Fletcher...and ultimately about then both of them. Thanks so much for your comment and response!
  14. A lovely Halloween, and what a treat! Your response made me smile! Thank you! P
  15. You describe Tomas' experience, and Fletcher's so well. It is decidedly a pleasure to write about. Thank you for taking up this occasional tale again.
  16. These two academics are certainly learning about one another, and are catching up as they find out what they have been missing. It is fun and rewarding to write about them. Thank you for your encouragement!

    Chapter 5

    There is tension, there is argument and estrangement. Jae had to fight or die, and he doesn't think he had any choice. Dave is without Jae at just the wrong moment. The moment when everything that made the sky shine went black. And now it is far too late. What a story, tim. I will have to find some kind of exotic distraction before the next chapter is out!

    Chapter 1

    Thanks for the review, whenever it comes! In this case, it's not the FBI but Homeland Security; the real problem is that they crossed the line into Seneca territory without asking first. In a shadowy kind of game, that's a big error, and one that played out in Daniel and Ibi's favor. Thanks for reading and responding to his!

    Broken

    Such a feeling as you describe can only feel terribly uncomfortable. Our predator is clearly having difficulty with that discomfort, but is also experiencing some direct discomforts of being exiled from his residence. The sad truth is that everyone who commits evil starts out as a real human being. Did they ever stop, and if so, can they ever reclaim some humanity? Thanks for reading and for your excellent response....
  20. A great story, and a convincing one, too. Artfully told, and your descriptions put the reader directly into the scene. I can see Sven, and Nels; smell the dry earth, and the rain, too. And their love for one another is beautiful.
  21. Whatever its label, it's lovely!
  22. "Do you think we have enough?" It was mid-afternoon, and Associate Professor of Comparative Religion Tomás Aquino stood in the kitchen, examining the large wooden bowl on the counter before him. It was piled high with wrapped candies, mini-chocolate bars, and other treats, in anticipation of the evening's visitors. This quantitative matter was not the sort of question he usually dealt with. "I really don't know," his shorter, slighter boyfriend admitted. He stroked his neatly cropped beard wit

    Indiscretion

    What a grand start to a new tale. Poor Dan - no fun being second fiddle to a riding association. At least the election isn't too far away. But really - political death by cell phone! Isn't there something in the user's manual about how not to set it off in your pocket?
  24. Fantaaaaastic! Great that Warren had already begun a turn in his life - he seems to have gotten at least part of his head squared away. Perhaps he and Adelin will hit it off right away...seems like it. You wrote that restaurant scene with such grace and humor. I loved it. The math nerd in me hope that the effect of finding more mates is geometric, if not exponential... Should be fun! Can't wait for more...

    Chapter 15

    Good for Zac for letting Adrian go his own way. Nothing would be gained for either boy by doing otherwise. Good for Zac's parents for being understanding of their gay sons. And finally, good for Zac for getting out to a movie with another gay guy - someone who isn't afraid. Omari may be a nice guy, but something tells me he's not the guy. or am I wrong? Let's have another chapter really soon, and then maybe we'll know....
