Passing It On He'd been delivering our daily newspaper for I guess about a couple of years now. Damn, I've done it again! It used to be our daily paper until just under twelve months ago when Eric died, so since then it's been my daily paper. But it is so hard to get out of thinking of 'our this' and 'our that' when we'd spent so many years together. He had always looked a decent kid – if you know what I mean. Some kids are scruffy and walk around as if they have a big chip on his

Thanks joebuck I know both Adam & Troy want to her what Mike says, but they both doubt he will ever tell them the truth.
-
Thanks for the comment. It's always a pleasant surprise when someone reads and comments on a story from the 'back catalogue'. Afraid though that there won't be a sequel.
-
Read on and see if you were right
-
An interesting view CG. You're more sympathetic towards Kyle than others who have commented. Largely Adam wasn't directly involved as the attacks were mainly aimed at Troy, so I agree he perhaps should find it easier to be forgiving, but it was the person whom he loves deeply who was attacked.....
-
Thanks for the 'love' I'm sure some people (and kids) manage to survive/deal with difficult situations better than others. There is a definite contrast in the story between Adam and Kyle who faced somewhat similar problems.
-
Thanks, Geron. Have to agree with you about the promises from politicians! I think Kyle does have regrets about what he was part of, but it is really 'too little, too late'.
-
As I said in an earlier reply Chris, I can't see Kyle's father believing that Kyle was forced to do things by his brother. He'd see it the other way round because he also wants to bury his head in the sand Yes, the minister pushed Adam too far.
-
Sorry for the groaner (not really though!) Yep, Kyle was in a very difficult and lonely place. Perhaps if there had been a GSA at the school things might have turned out differently.
-
Very deep in the sandpit to put it politely. As for Kyle, I think he has finally realized how wrong he has been about many things.
-
Possibly, but the indications are that he has little to no time for gays and he is never going to believe that his eldest son has any gay tendencies.
-
I can't see anyone else from the church getting involved. The Jacksons appear not to have had close friendships with other members of the congregation. As for Kyle, I see your point. But he was looking for love where none existed in his life and he thought (wrongly) he could get it from Mike.
-
Yep, Mike is the real cause of all the problems. As for Kyle's brother, I rather think he has used Kyle and now dumped him knowing if Kyle said anything he wouldn't be believed against the star jock.
-
He decided he'd regret it if he didn't, but he went not expecting it to be pleasant - which proved to be true. Kyle has sort of become a victim it seems
-
I'm sure most of us wouldn't Wesley
-
Kyle's dad is a bit similar to Adam's though not or the same reason as he doesn't know Kyle is gay. Adam's hoping Mike may solve that mystery for him, but....... As for the minister, would you expect much else from someone running that church?

As I stepped out of the shower I thought that I could hear music playing, but as I started to towel myself dry I decided it must just be that some water had got in my ears. I was still puzzling as to what Troy had planned; in fact I'd been trying to work that out while attending to certain things and then showering again as thoroughly as I could. Once I was dry I hung the towel on the towel rail – I could see no point in wrapping it around me – and opened the bathroom door. On doing so I fou

Enjoying the story, which for me narrates very well for a 7-8 year old. But I agree with CG about the chapter length - am just settling down to enjoy it and 'Bang', it's the end.
-
Yep - it seems like we have a family in the making, unless things are brewing off stage?
-
Have to say I disagree @FindThySky's comments about lack of depth and need for dialogue. This chapter was being written ten years after the events described took place and recounted by someone who was seven years old at the time. On that basis I was perfectly happy with the way in which the chapter was written.
-
Glad you enjoyed Chris. Spent some time tracking down the location of that picture, but having done so it gave the basis for the story. Not sure everyone saw the spanking that way, but or Julian and Lance it was part of their foreplay and very much for pleasure.
-
Thanks Glennish. It was a tough decision for Adam to make to go amongst all those gay haters who will be there. I suspect in some ways he is going to spite his Ma and prove to her that he is not ashamed of who he is. Plus he suspects he may owe his Pa over what happened at the old house when the police rushed in.
-
Glad Jeff managed to turn his life round - eventually - and I hope his nightmares finally went away. His character sure got me involved in the story

I'm sure the navy ones will fare better. They'll be the first personal thing Adam has bought for him, so I'm sure he'll enjoy wearing them. And yes, Adam is going to blossom in the bosom of his new family once all the recent trials and tribulations are behind him.
