    Hard for me to add to what everyone’s been saying, so I’ll just congratulate you on building up more than a bridge in this here and now chapter; there’s tension in this clear valley air, pulling lots of different ways. Gonna hold my peace till something snaps. Or someone admits to love, whichever comes first.

    Twenty-One

    Parker Owens commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in Twenty-One

    Here is the first day in Liam’s story in which there seem to be people who want to help him, rather than judge him. A whole day of not having to look over his shoulder and a good book as a bonus! Things can’t stay that good, can they?

    And the price is so much less than on Amazon…

    Chapter 1

    Parker Owens commented on Oliver Dean's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Joe’s life was outlined in tragedy in this story; if only he could have lost his nerve before entering the bank…

    Twenty

    Parker Owens commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in Twenty

    I feel so bad for Liam, it’s hard to remember that this is the best outcome he could have hoped for after his farce of a trial. Rhys did not deserve to die; but neither did Liam deserve the torture that boy fished out. Rhys probably should have seen the inside of a place like this ward; his bullying was pathological. But now it’s Liam who must learn to navigate and survive in this strange new world, where hope might exist, but lies hidden.

    Isolde

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Isolde

    You have run into the hard part of Rick’s life; he’s had multiple strands of difficulty and bad luck. I’m glad that the writing is at least okay. Thanks for your comments. I really do appreciate your thoughts.

    Die Forelle

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Die Forelle

    Rick is thoroughly hooked. But it may also be that Gus is hooked, too. If only Rick can believe… Thanks for reading, and for your comments.

    Mitchell, you’re decidin’ what you think Will ought to feel, which is two kinds of foolishness. Will’s right: you’re wastin’ the days you were given, and all for the sake of your own stubborn sense what you think he should feel. You gotta choose about your own feelings, and nobody else’s: either you love Will still, or you don’t. No pretending you know his future mind on the matter; just figure it out. Soon. Glad to have this little chat. Oh, and Gary? Awesome chapter.

    Coda

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Coda

    I’m so glad you enjoyed your time with Rick and Gus. The fun of encountering CJ and Ozzie was a delight to write. Rick did indeed find someone special, but then, so did Gus. If you were able to slip into their world for a while, then I’m very happy indeed. Thanks very much for reading, and for your comments!

    Encounters

    Parker Owens commented on northie's story chapter in Encounters

    I suspect that if Emily ever gets inside of Eric’s defenses, she’ll find herself with a good friend. He’s not one to forget those who treat him with dignity and respect. I imagine he could give just as good advice as Andy; but leave it to his natural self-effacement to volunteer his young man. Great chapter!

    Examination; deep, thorough self-reflection, seems increasingly alien to the internet age. We are to allow ourselves to be subsumed into the ever-quickening cycles of gossip and outrage, with all our self definition conveniently pre-chosen for us. Thank you for posting this thought provoking poem.

    For this afternoon… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wjZcmrvG_M

    Well, you was fixin’ to leave us with a cliffhanger, and now you gone and done it. Thanks a million for a great chapter.

    @weinerdog Yes, Eric/Stefan eventually did that.

    Houghton

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Houghton

    No, Eric/Stefan wasn’t about to try that fence. Fireflies are one of the wonders of this world. Eric/Stefan is getting a chance to see some things his father never let him know about. Playing a bit of baseball, for example. And for once, he’s not ravenously hungry. Thanks so much for reading and for taking time to comment.

    This made me think of cycles, of interlocking circles of life. I only hope that each revolution is not identical to the last.

    Reactions

    Parker Owens commented on northie's story chapter in Reactions

    Eric now gets supporting mail, as well as hate mail. I can’t understand why the impetus to injure another person is so strong: surely one man’s feel-good story does no harm to the rest of the population? And yet, it seems that some think that way. Brian and Sandra and Andy and Adam are sheet anchors in the howling gale of temporary fame.

    Your own couplet made me smile. I’m very glad you found at least one of these to be appealing. I agree one is relatively darker than the other. Thank you for reading your way through Detours. I’m most grateful.
  19. Parker Owens
    Thank you so much for your encouraging words over the course of 100 entries. Hugs and thanks.
  20. Parker Owens
    You’re very kind to have read and reacted to each one. I’m very happy you enjoyed them.
  21. Parker Owens
    No fear. The muse hasn’t managed to shake me off that easily.
  22. Parker Owens
    You have been very kind to join me for 100 entries in this book. Bastion does indeed strike a melancholy tone. It’s hard to acknowledge one’s own deeply flawed humanity. I hoped Complemented might atone for the minor key in the first one. Thank you very much for your thoughts.
  23. Parker Owens
    Bastion One guards an anxious soul for safety’s sake with fences far too fierce to be dismissed, and some through every season seem to make excuses when another might insist they lie upon his wheel like so much grist and only in the dawn’s light to bemoan the treasure stolen from the wrong lips kissed; as watchful hearts are often overthrown. For what prize can a random stranger take that would not mak

    That was an awesome feel-good chapter. Matt can move forward with the others he has helped, maybe.

    Eighteen

    Parker Owens commented on Drew Payne's story chapter in Eighteen

    Liam/Leo has good reason to seek as much anonymity as possible. It’s easy to say that he should seek out some sort of counseling or a support group, but that would hardly do for a person like Liam. I’m wondering what possible exit he might have from this grey, desperate kind of existence he’s leading. I fear what that exit might be.
