    Thanks, Chris. Glad to know you enjoyed this little flight of fancy.

    It seems Ben is looking forward to his sleepover. What happens there could show Ben whether it was all just a dream, or if he realy did see into the future. Appreciate your comments @weinerdog

    MU?

    Glad you found it! Yes, both parties could be heading into murky waters - and not in the swimming pool. 🙂

    Thanks again, Gary.

    The Meeting He thought he heard a voice calling his name, “Ben,” but it seemed very, very far away. Then he heard it again, “Ben,” but this time it seemed a little closer. The voice came again, “Ben, wake up Ben, please?” It was definitely much closer now he told himself. Perhaps it was time to get up and get ready to go to school. But it was so comfortable here he didn't want to make the effort. “Ben, please, please, wake up,” he heard this time, even closer still. He struggled to m
  6. Ben & Jake have set off to meet George at the Natural History Museum in London. How does that turn out?
  7. 'All good things must come to an end' it is said - sadly true in this case. An excelent story, superbly told, with a real feel for the time and place in which it is set.

    lol! Mrs C is in full mom mode with another boy to look after. As for exercise, Troy has his swimming and Adam has started running - no doubt with some gym work for both. Plus they both have bikes, although admittedly no big hills to cycle up as in Ravello. 😀

    Yes, Adam is discovering new talents while Try is finding out that life isn't necessarily a bed of roses.

    Very creepy! But what was the threat the village faced to require the ritual to be performed?

    Chapter 3

    There are definitely pitfalls ahead - it couldn't be as long as story as this is without them! Troy's family as depicted, is possibly too accepting, but do make a good contrast to Adam's.

    Sadly they do exist, but they are outnumbered by the decent ones.

    Chapter 1

    It's always pleasing when someone 'discovers' an old story of mine - and then comments on it. As you said in a post on your just completed story, there are always new stories appearing to interest readers without the need to delve into the dusty archives. There is sex in the story, which you may find not to your taste. But I'd argue it is somewhat of an aside to what else develops on their journey.

    Chapter 12

    I've much enjoyed the tale and the chance of another visit to Ravello. I have though been puzzled at the references to the boys wearing 'sports jackets'. I can only think of those in terms of the garments parents wore a good few years ago, not something a pre-teen would wear in southern Italy. 😀

    Odd - although I'm 'following' didn't get the usual notification this had been posted.

    Chapter 11

    Hmm... this does not appear to be one of Dani's better ideas.

    Chapter 10

    A clever little distraction having Dani put on Giaco's hoodie. Had me convinced Giaco wouldn't arrive on time and when Dani appeared Antonio would think Dani was him based on what he was wearing. As a result Dani would be the one to get beaten up. Have to agree with @drpaladin that the pacing and build up was extremely well done. Just glad you dicn't leave us with a cliffhanger...

    Chapter 9

    There appear to be assumptions being made that Marco is working for Ettore. But Giacomo was working for him up to the previous eveing, so it is hard to see when he could have been recruited and done a job, let alone be paid and have the opportunity to buy new clothes.

    Chapter 9

    Fear not! I thought it captured the essence of Dani, his parents and his friends all coming together to make it a memorabe day for the new teenager. MInd you, it did fall to Toto to point out the obvious, although I'm sure he and Michele are happy that Dani has at last found friends of his own age. Just hope that doesn't fall apart if Giacomo gets into the mire.

    Chapter 7

    Veni, vidi, vici! Dani is a brave boy to overcome his fears like that. But I hope it doesn't lead to him thinking he is invincible

    Oh Dani, you're soon going to have to decide where your loyalties lie.

    MU?

    Makes sense for George to be concerned about meeting them. If he does meet them he may well be persuaded to write a spanky chapter next!😀👟

    MU?

    I agree that George has more to be concerned about meeting the boys. As they've chosen a very public place and there are two of them, they really have nothing to worry about.

    I'll have to start paying him soon for these ideas. As for the pool, actually it is a slipper bath! slipper bath - Bing images

    MU?

    The lights are definitely flashing amber for all concerned.
