Thanks for this, Backwoods. It's taken a lot of work and time to move past some of this stuff. This was a difficult chapter to write and I know difficult for people to read.

Thank you Backwoods It's nice to be dry on a rainy day.

Thank you for this Butcher. It sums up perfectly how I wanted their relationship to build from the moment I typed the first words of chapter 1.

Thank you Tiggs

Thank you Wesley

I'm actually happy that this look into that time of my life wasn't deleted. I was underage (between 18 and 20) working in a club with a fake ID at the time. Trying to put on a smile, flirting with the crowd, acting happy when all I wanted to do was find a dark corner and cry about how lonely I felt while tips were being stuffed into my underwear. I wish something that had seen the poem at the time would have recognized it for what it was.

Thank you as always Parker. It was fun for me trying to put this experience into words. I'm around foals every year, but this mini horse being born is something special.

Thank you Parker I'd been out with friends and labels were being discussed for everyone in the club. I don't really fit into any of the groups that were being discussed and I don't want to be labeled. I'm me and me is all there is.

Thank you Parker The power relationship was the biggest point I wanted to convey with this. I may be the Dom, but at times my sub is the one controlling me and when we work together it is great fun for us both.

Thank you Al. Not only for the advice on some of my poems but for the encouragement you've given me and the confidence to keep trying.

Okay, the fact that there is a new posting from you is enough reason for me to be happy, but this being an absolutely fabulous first chapter just adds to it When I first saw this, I was thinking Scott was the boyfriend when TJ for to Port Arthur and I was going to be so pissed at you for breaking them up. Went back and read the first chapter of TJ before reading this one. As much as I disliked Scott in the first story, he seems worthy of redemption here. Seeing his side of things, seeing him drunk for a week or more trying to deal with everything, trying to be someone he's not... I admit that my heart goes out to him and I'm hoping he gets to where he needs to be. It's fun when those obscure characters we write about pay us a visit and asked to have their voices heard. I'm looking forward to hearing much more from Scott

The high school I was in for 9th and 10th grade, there were lots of places students lit up a joint. A junior in my biology glass, a hot jock that sat next to me, lit up almost every day in class.

Another great chapter. I like the way this is building. The fact that people stood up for Joey over the popular kid, that he has people who do talk to him is a nice addition to things even if his life does suck. It was also very cool of him to offer to tutor Star.

Thank you Gomez. I'm trying to get a book 3 to come together. Not sure when it will happen, but I'm trying.

Thank you deville

Thank you Parker. The wetsuited men did make for a nice visual and riding my motorcycle in a wetsuit and boots is always fun. Disappointing not getting to surf, but at least not a total loss for the day.

Thank you Jeff

Thank you tim

Thank you moogy.

Thank you molly

Mmm... Tasty Very nicely done.

The sand feels warm under my bare feet As I watch the waves, if you could call them that. I’d hoped to spend my day off surfing, Though Mother Nature seems to have foiled that plan. I walk along the beach hoping to see something worth riding; Just one swell to give reason to get out the board. Yet this day it is not to be as other wetsuit clad bodies mill around; In the search for that wave, that thrill, that joy of gliding across the water’s surface; That

This is sad and yet it's really well written. I understand that hard emotional edge he has. The adults in Joey's life are deplorable. I can't decide which one is worse, the abusive father or the uncle that molested him. Even though he seemed to take good care of and provide for Joey, the fact that he was molesting an 11 year old still almost makes him a little better than the father, but still can't stand him. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

And I'm sorry I missed this tim. Thank you so much

Thank you Chris
