i get notifications every time one of my stories updates, but Ace, i can't jump at it in that moment. i need to get my head ready for the rollar coaster ride. this chapter both broke my heart and made it sing. i, too had a "Wesley moment"
OMG! i want to strangle you right now. i was so enjoying all the warm fuzzies and you pushed me off the cliff!
i love the "underdogs" of thee Olympic and always want to watch those events. i especially remember watching Eric Moussambani Malonga, a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea during the 2000 Summer Games
This is a rough, tragic story to be sure. It is hard on a soul that is for sure, but i am glad i finished it. Every now again, I actually ponder the thought of rereading it....but, well I still can remember the 1st telling. Ace will take you on a soul bruising ride with this one.. I read it back in 2016 as each chapter was posted. This one sticks with you.
1.
Daylight hides the brokenness that is me under the deep waters of my mind.
A small sound escapes into the darkness.
The nightmare starts.
You hold me as my sleep spins, out of control.
Thrashing, screaming at phantoms of a past I can not escape.
There, on the horizon is a light.
My soul reaches out…
2.
I will hold you when the nightmare that is your past, rips through your sleep
Like a hurricane that renders ships to matchsticks.
As you fight your unseen mons
hey, i've told you all along your writing keeps getting better and not just because you now have an editor and beta readers. i know me well enough to know, i'll keep reading
Shadows of the past
Reaching out to spin the present.
Turn this way, no that way.
Sometimes pushing
Sometimes pulling
Occasional shoving you under
So many shadows of the past blocking out the future.
Where does the past end and the future begin,
When you are a tangled puppet of the present?
yea, i figure they'll hit a rough patch or 6, but i still can hope for the HEA. i still mad at about the hockey player. even if i see why it ended like that.
you know, i have a love/hate relationship with you, Ace. i'been with since you started posting and your writing just keeps getting better. right now i feel you are dangling a carrot trying to convince me that i need to keep reading. i tell myself, "i don't need to read this story" then i binge read 5 chapters like did today. here hoping for the boys!
