    And the conflict grew convincingly out of what had happened and who the characters were. No wtf moment when a plot twist comes out of nowhere and I start wondering why I'm reading the story at all. Did you say anything about the end my lips are sealed

    It's a really great week: My last day updated yesterday and CC tomorrow ...

    And I was one of the ones having a minor tantrum in my review. It really made my day to know another chapter had been posted. The rush to like and review late yesterday evening (my time) was astonishing and I hope it makes you feel the hard slog was worth it ... Many people appreciate your writing even though some (including me!) may feel like jumping up and down in frustration with where you left it.

    The Story of Us

    northie commented on QuinnDK's story chapter in The Story of Us

    I was so pleased when I got the notification about this new chapter but ... How could you do this? I feel so sorry for Ezra - he was trying so hard to allow himself to hope and love. Not sure what I feel about Henrik yet ... Please don't make me wait so long for the next installment! I just hope this is a minor pitfall on the way to a happy ending. (And it was really good to have this chapter despite my wails ).

    Do you expect to get something (3 grand) for virtually no work? Dream on, the cynic in me says. Peter learns this the hard (very hard) way. He is too trusting: if my sole companion started saying 'control individual is present" I would be seriously worried. This is the sort of sci-fi where my eyes skate over the techno-babble and my brain doesn't have to work. That's part of the attraction - an easy, pleasant read. There is a strong flavour of HG Wells. Who'd think coffee would be the cause of the world's ending...?

    I particularly liked thw red and blue one - but then I like spiders (at least, the harmless UK speciies!).

    Yay! Another chapter in sight. You're surprised by number of views? I'm not - thoroughly deserved!

    This was funny and sweet. I loved James' increasing sense of frustration both at receiving gifts from an unknown source and also not being able to get (trap?) his hubby into admitting it was him. I loath the sort of birthday party James was trying to avoid so I felt for him but Faris' solution was great: inventive, creative and fun!

    I came across this by accident and I'm not often a short story fan but I read this straight through. Then I sat and thought through parts of it and particularly the emotions which were strong, real and in part, upsetting. I'm glad I discovered this and you as a writer.

    First time on my tablet: 24. Will try again but I don't think I'll improve much.
