I am glad you thought this a good start, and hope this remains a good read. Thanks for taking up the story.

It was cold outside, and dark. The temperature was dropping, and the wind was picking up. There would be rain soon, lots of it. He was glad to get inside the warm, dark tavern. His blue eyes scanned the bar, considering the possibilities. He was definitely hot, and definitely on the prowl. He was bored with his roommate. Bored with the usual encounters he had on campus. He needed something different. Someone new. Tonight. The place was nothing special, but it was off campus and alive w

Charles Ives can be an acquired taste, but these struck me as lovely today...

Predators devour their prey. When the predator becomes prey himself, why should he expect mercy? What follows is the story of what happened when the tables got turned.

Chapter 26 I Found My Calling
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 26 I Found My Calling
Huzzah for this poem! Gary, this is a great piece, and it shows you indeed have found your calling. Your use of rhymes for 'world' had me in awe, as that's a rhyme I usually avoid. Here you are showing me how it's done. Bravo! Take several bows, my friend. -
That mortifying, horrifying experience with Rachel will probably explode more of Zac's life than any amount of lusting after Adrian would have done. What will it do to Zac internally, let alone to his relationship to Kenny and the rest? And what to do about Adrian, who at least knows what he wants?

Often, inspiration comes from the sound of the words themselves. How can one not muse long on the euphony of the name 'Bernoulli?' But meteor came straight from the late summer starlit heavens. And thank you for your comment on my penchant for turning things to the personal; for in such connections is understanding made, perhaps. Many many thanks.

SD, I am so very pleased you thought this memorial to a youthful idyll was any good. Somehow, once the words started flowing, they refused to be stopped. Your kind words are so encouraging and generous. Many, many thanks.

Chapter 4 - Learning Together
Parker Owens commented on Cynus's story chapter in Chapter 4 - Learning Together
This. Is. An. Awesome. Chapter. Really, and not just for the admirable scenes in which Zane and Clint make out; we learn so much about Zane, about the source of his reserve and unhappiness. We also learn why Clint may be just the right soul to heal some of that hurt. And you paint a wonderfully detailed picture of Zane's connection to his mom and sister, and his life at home, without being didactic or prosy. Thank you! -
Alex and Liam seem locked in what will be an unhappy box for a while. If their relationship survives, there will still be a lot of hurt. What a very interesting picnic lunch date! A deepening and growing love between the two men will surely be a beacon for Alek and Liam. Thank Yiu for this chapter.

Thank you so much, Val. That you could connect to the moment, and to what it left behind me and the poem achieved at least part of its purpose. I am so glad you liked this. Thanks so much for reading and responding to it.

That guy is still here, reading and learning. Thank you for inspiring and supporting me; thanks for reading and thinking about this one. Xo -P

It was such an short time, and yet a memory that has never quite let go. Perhaps it grew in an unexpected way, unseen over so many years to flower in this manner. Your words are so very generous and kind; more importantly, you found something in this which resonated with your spirit. And if that happened, then perhaps the two of us may connect in a way neither knew was possible.
-
Your kindness and generosity to all of us is remarkable; this poem is clearly the product of that. It is I who am humbled by your words here. Rubaiyat certainly helped enormously with this poem, as you perceive rightly. Art, memory and yearning all played their part. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read and reflect on this short elegy, and for your words of encouragement and affirmation which mean so very much.

Poetry prompt 6 - Elegy

I was touched and delighted with this, a poem which remembered joy, not pain. Thank you! -
Chapter 24 Facing Demons
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 24 Facing Demons
So now I am continuing to be scared for Kellar and Tobyn. The implacable hunter can sense them at a distance? He can stalk them from afar? Perhaps he has a drone with an infrared sensor? Or is it not technological at all? Is there some sinister power afoot? And then the call to the step brother...this could be very, very dangerous indeed, mate-signature or not. You have elevated the level of danger and interest in this story and I continue to need frequent installments. Please. -
Short Elegy He was an ordinary guy, not tall or short, nor broad nor thin, a pleasant visage with a grin, who would for my attention vie. And I recall the sky was fair, the meadow greening in the light, we watched an eagle taking flight, while zephyrs feathered in his hair. Still later when the moon arose, upon the grass, we counted stars, while Venus played at being Mars and flowers tickled at our toes. How quickly did that moment pass, a sha

Nope, it won't feel right. It'll feel good, but it won't feel right...perhaps something will help Zach get his mind in order before he goes through with something that could really hurt himself and Rachel, too.

This is lovely; I particularly like the almost call-and-response quality to this. Thank you for posting this, Emi.

Thunder and The Universal Gas Constant
Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Thunder and The Universal Gas Constant
I thought the same thing about moles, and it was almost my undoing in Chem class all those years ago. Couldn't get the image of gassy moles out of my mind...I am glad you liked these. They were fun to write! -
Thunder and The Universal Gas Constant
Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Thunder and The Universal Gas Constant
Alas, I shall stick to maths and sciences for the time being. But perhaps you enjoyed these despite their kind of esoteric subject areas. -
I am out of likes for the day! I'm just going to have to review this chapter and say that while it is brilliantly written and shows many wonderful evolving facets of Kye and Ash's relationship, there is this small matter of a cliffhanger....augh! Wonderful chapter! Like!

Thunder You hear the thunder rumble far, despite the distance, it may jar the listener to think it wise to close the windows in the car. For thunder is not seen with eyes, but still we know it's not some guys in heaven dropping bowling balls, but lightning's pulse that heats the skies. As charges flash celestial halls, the air surrounding so appalls with thirty thousand kelvins* plus; a jolt the nearest cloud befalls. The fire expands the air, and thus a rapid shockwave makes a fuss; wit

Will This Trip Ever Get Here
Parker Owens commented on Robert Rex's story chapter in Will This Trip Ever Get Here
One always wonders what being famous might be like...but then notoriety hits, and it's not all it's cracked up to be! Ryan and Clayton better get a limo for a while... -
Why ever am I the first to review this story? It's excellent reading, and wonderfully engaging. Just enough not-earth to keep me thinking, wondering. Many thanks.
