I feel so sad for Liam. This episode shows how very fragile he remains. Despite his earlier confidence and progress, he’s got so very much farther to go. TJ was right perhaps. Liam has to trust the staff to help him get well. Yet, I can’t help but feel bad for Chrissy too. What will become of her now?

Thank you for your kind words. Marc has traveled a long way not to hate any longer. TP has a journey of his own to make. Thanks again.

Maybe Marc understood the work on board the Feigenbaum would force Wally to focus on things outside himself. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I purposely left the timeline vague, but it has been enough time for someone in Campus Housing to evict and clean out. A guess would be that Ted and the redhead tipped them off after doing a search for anything valuable belonging to the ex-predator. They left the mess behind because they didn’t want the bother -they had another agenda. Thanks for commenting and for reading!

The central character isn’t easy to like, and that was part of the challenge in writing this story. Could a reader ever feel a connection to him? Thank you for making that attempt.
-
I’ve never posted on nifty, so perhaps it was a different story. I’m glad you’re trying this again. Writing a character without a name wasn’t easy; I’m sure it was tough to read, too. Thanks so much for your comments.

I have to give CJ and Owen a ton of credit for holding as much of themselves together as they could in the face of Pam’s ongoing interference. They’re supposed to give her, a sick woman, some grace, yet she gives them none as busy, deeply concerned citizens in a capital full of political ferment. Nice touch landing BHO on the Court…

Thanks so much for your immensely kind words. A was drawn to Z, out of his torment and into something far better. This epilogue allowed me to imagine moments in Andy and Zander’s later lives. They continue to inhabit my mind, emerging at odd moments during my days, as if to comment on my own activities or projects. Again, thank you so much for reading and re-reading Andy’s journal.

Monica and Garrett were interesting characters to write. I suspect that I may not have wholly captured Monica as I wanted, yet I hoped to show that her heart was in the right place, despite her flaws. It is wonderful to hear that this is your second time through this story. That makes my heart sing. Thank you.

I’m humbled by your very kind words. If Rick has gotten close to your heart, then perhaps this story will have succeeded. So many of us feel isolated, alone, and move from shadow to shadow. Rick has managed to move into sunlight, and has real love and companionship. May we all be so fortunate. Once again, thank you for reading and for your comments.
-
For Rick, making love with Gus has been perhaps one of the most beautiful things ever in his life. Thanks for reading, and for your comment.
-
Yes. This was the best way for this day to end. Thanks very much for reading!
-
Rick is watching the world, and watching his people like Jared react. Maybe he can hope.
-
There are so many lonely people like Rick in this world. Our current poisonous politics are making the situation worse. Thanks very much for your comments.

Cindy just can’t stop being that person who needs to force everyone else into the mold she’s made for them. It’s immensely hard to let kids grow up, harder still when one feels the need to bind those kids ever more tightly rather than let them make their own errors. I applaud Jackson’s growth since the story began. Luke has made him into someone better.

That you had to get back to reading was music to my ears. Thank you for your comments and for reading! -
There’s joy for Andy now, and that’s worth a tear or two.

Chapter 43 Good Dreams

I don’t blame you; I even choked up a little as I wrote -
Prompt 121 - At Any Price
Parker Owens commented on Cole Matthews's story chapter in Prompt 121 - At Any Price
I think of two things in this delightful story. Kittens are indeed priceless. At he same time, I’m mindful of Ogden Nash’s little couplet: ”The trouble with a kitten is that it always grows into a cat.” -
Prompt #121 - A Rare Find
Parker Owens commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in Prompt #121 - A Rare Find
Value, like beauty, is in the eye and heart of the beholder. This story speaks to that. Any dealer knows that a single gift or bargain granted brings a repeat customer. That horse was a bargain for both the narrator and the dealer.- 15 comments

Peter and the Wolf! One of my favorites. Who’s conducting?

Considering what a zoo CJ and Owen’s lives are about to become, I enjoyed this diversion to an actual zoo - the interview and conversation had a relaxing pace and vibe.
-
This time the outside world has reached in and taken a familiar face away from Liam. It’s not a predictable, safe place out there. I like how you describe Liam’s unsettled feelings about Jared. He doesn’t really know his to articulate them.

I’m glad this little story filled a need you experienced. May it ever do so. Thanks very much for reading!
