Thanks for the review, and for sticking with Stefan/Eric. It's good the church had something in the fridge for him. Interesting, but more than could be portrayed, would have been the reaction of the United Brethren pastor and congregation. Would they be in an uproar at an intruder, or would they celebrate that the kingdom of God came near in a nameless someone who needed their help? Couldn't have Stefan/Eric ask that questions, so I'll put it out there. Tim and SD both had interesting comments on the Forum, too.

Me, too. Sometimes, it may be simply a case of an author forgetting or neglecting to change a story's status to 'complete,' while in others, the story is cut off before it really started, but while the reader's interest is piqued. But whatever happened to Dust and Ash? Just an example....

Let's hope he escaped without something that only leaves scars, and nothing more. For now, he's out of the rain, and that's something.
-
Unquestionably, he would have been found out. Stefan/Eric can't really hang around waiting for someone to put the pieces together and identify him...
-
Oh, my, again. No, won't string up the author. Or judge Sim, or Daniel, or anyone. But I will continue to wonder if the four of them will manage to hold their lives together, and heal one another's hearts and hurts when they happen. Wonderfully written, and engaging, as always. And hot. Did I mention hot? Thanks for this story, Tim.

Our lifeguard spoke to us at the very beginning of Chapter 1. The church is a lonely country church, so Stefan/Eric may not be bothered much while the rain comes down.

And it seems that the rules for rural invisibility may differ slightly from what you find in the city. Stephan/Eric got lucky, and you're very right about the rules. He just doesn't understand what the rules might be in this broad new world he's in.

Week Four Monday September 22, 2014: Getting Help
Parker Owens commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Week Four Monday September 22, 2014: Getting Help
Oh, boy. If Kathy got that controlling, no wonder Cal departed in a veil of sleaze. Maybe David can convince Cal to push him out of the picture. That Twoey should be feeling a twinge of jealousy at Matty's hands-on approach to David is priceless, and should lead Twoey to some more soul searching. Still interested in knowing what David will get out of - or feel about - his encounter with a psych. This is a grand run-up to a very dicey time for everyone. Well written, thoughtfully approached. Thank you. More soon, please? -
Thank you for this. The story pretty much wrote itself; the characters and their lives just about jumped off the page. I felt at the time I had very little to do with it.

On Memorial Day, the Town Pool opens. This is where a bunch of us work over the summer, lifeguarding and giving swim lessons. It’s possible to sit in the lifeguard chair and pretend to watch what’s happening through your sunglasses, while your mind is miles away. It was at the pool that the doubts first bubbled up the summer before. Unwelcome, insistent doubts. The boys were there. Other guys watched the girls. My attention focused on the boys. It should have been on the girls. But no.

Welcome. You'll find everyone to be supportive and civil. At least, I have. Enjoy!
-
The other thing worth thinking about is that Stefan/Eric found himself giving a part of himself away to that faux grandmother who wasn't all there. One of those remarkable 'what ifs' that writes itself into a story.
-
The child broker sounds very, very dangerous. We should fear for Dorian. Wish Felix could shed some light on it. Unless there is something way more sinister going on. The sex between Dorian and Felix turns ever hotter. Beautifully described.
-
As I replied elsewhere, I really enjoyed writing this chapter. For Stefan/Eric, it's a break in the storm clouds. He'll have a chance, now, perhaps.
-
Oh, dear God. Ryan, how could he do that? What is poor Sim, a doll to be tossed aside when a different toy appears? Even if Ryan had a history with Levon, that he couldn't discuss it with his fiancée speaks of a complete failure to grasp simple human kindness and decency. Ryan deserves the misery he will surely get. But Sim deserves someone who will love him, period.
-
That chapter was one of my favorites to write. Stefan/Eric finally gets some warmth and a bit of luck. Poor kid probably hardly knew what hit him.
-
Heaven has no greater friendship than accepting a call at three in the morning. Pope Francis just nominated Shawn for sainthood. Thank you for helping us understand Ian better.
-
Stefan/Eric probably has no idea what to do with praise. It hardly makes any sense for him. This whole chapter was such a relief to write after the earlier ones...
-
For once, the world cuts Stephan a break. And the scene with the old resident of Brightlook Acres was really fun to imagine.

May 26 I was right. It did hurt to start walking again. I was stiff and sore and tired. After I left the McDonald's last night, I found a street heading north, into a residential area. It was fully dark by then, and getting chilly. I limped along quiet streets, following no real path or pattern, just trying to walk away from the bright lights and the main roads. I crossed a railroad track. The street I was on led me toward a brightly lit building. It had to be a school, but I never went ne

This is going to be a great story. Your description of Robbie's mother's death is very well done. Have read several chapters, but haven't had a chance to review all of them. Agree with Drew that the flirt with the attendant is cute. Looking forward to more...
-
Cute. Very clever, and wonderfully spoken. And most of all, true. Great advice from big bro!

And here I am, channeling Louis Armstrong's 'My Rosetta.'

Like the easy connection between Dorian and Felix in this chapter. I'm really enjoying watching them grow into something special, perhaps. Well done, Jack.
