N'than is the last of his kind. He's lived for others, now the wants to find out who he is. Who can he trust?

Told you i'd like it ... if felt warm and real. The differences in the two of them is noticeable and that's good since they come from different cultures.

oh i'm pretty sure i will ..

That's a super review... i will add these to be read list!

Things were different back in the day ... we can change that to, To Those who will try.

Wow ... not sure what people are not understanding. While you may get sick.. its the poor health care people who pay the big price. If i was a doc/nurse this would make me cry.

Happy Monday ... guess what it's doing here! It's pretty though... And i am inside.

@MichaelS36 @Carlos Hazday @chris191070 @Parker Owens @mollyhousemouse @Bard Simpson @dughlas @Thorn Wilde @Brayon @rickproehl i am sorry to reply this way. i appreciate all of your replies very much, thank you. this .. thing has been harder to cope with than i'd thought it would be. i hope you and your families are safe and well.

How did you figure out that was from me?

Oh, that felt like Oliver Twist meets Steampunk. I totally enjoyed it. Thank you.

There isn't an arms crossed with foot tapping emoji....

But it's cake ... Happy Birthday @Thorn Wilde

It escapes me, the reasons for living as does the joy in just being me life is all questions, and I ponder the reasons we are here at all Live in the present, people like to tell me I would, if I could figure out how It’s the future that I consider And the inevitable for which I wait I am aware that time is passing Understand what I’ve lost is my fault But I can’t seem to change what I feel Or believe in the lies about hope

That's their issue, not yours. i am certainly not liked by all, and well, that's how it is. And that's okay.

Well, you could write: This book contains; nudity, sex (of all types), violence, rape, suicide and blankets. That works.

i love you too. i enjoy your comments and thoughts. i like to hear what you have to say.

There is no need to go overboard. Stick to the basics, like they do for films. This story contains offensive language, nudity, scenes of rape, violence, suicide.

i'm glad you enjoyed it ... prompts are short pieces, it's possible this might be more at some point as i explained in other comments. I appreciate your comments and time. Thank you.

oh, i know you weren't.. just talking about things that's all. but to me prompts are just short pieces ... however i've written lots of things from short beginnings.. The Searcher, Changes and After the Past all come from first chapters i wrote years before they were written into longer pieces. i think, somehow they write themselves when i'm not trying to. They were chapters i liked but at the time i wrote them, there was nothing more. So i put them in a folder and every once in a while i'd read them. Then one day ... the story was ready. Maybe some research was needed, but the story was there. Will that happen here? i dont know. Maybe. But it's not ready now ... not yet. nice to have you back xoxo

that's great news...

Currently snowing, blowing.. white out conditions. Happy Spring!

i asked @Wayne Gray to read the first edition of this prompt for me. We discussed that this could be much more a novella at the very least. I had to research what is written here, not for a long time and frankly i was very lucky about what i came across. In order to make such a story right, i would need hours and hours of research. i would have to learn enough about Turkey, Dionysus, Midas, and Phrygia to make it real and believable. Since there were no cursed coins, i would have to make that up, which is fine but again, it would have to fit. And planning, mysteries need much planning, an outline certainly, character building, scene mapping ... it could be a great project. It would take a year minimum. Changes took 13 months to research and write .. this would be much longer i think. It could be less if i didnt have to work. But i do work fulltime and that, home and Husband, all reduce the time i have to write. So yes, most of us are likely aware of what could be. Short stories are just that... they have a beginning, middle/climax, end ... they are not just cut down longer pieces. This story would not fit the short story format i don't think, not without a lot of gaps. We all have our own talents ... and should celebrate each others. xo

i am glad you enjoyed the story. i do my best never to write what is expected. Stravor suddenly changing would have made him no longer the man he was. To me, the fact he was ready to open himself to Keter, to declare his need and love was enough and more than he'd ever done before. Anymore would have be too much and unbelievable. i do appreciate your comments and information though. i will save it my notes. Thanks again.

i've no idea what they say, but it makes sense considering what they are talking about.
