Thanks for the comment. Hopefully there will be progress...

Thanks, Gary. Appreciate the comment. Am hoping the muse will stay with me for a second chapter.

Any lack of indents didn't bother me. Good to see a bit more of Linda. Nice scene around the campfire with all the guys.

Just hope you're not a cat Thanks for the comment.

It's been a great ride you've taken us on and I've enjoyed every mile. Thanks for the trip.

Thanks dughlas. Sometimes the simple words can lead on to...

Questions, questions. Seems you want some answers. I'll have to see what I can do.

I don't usually like writing stories that lack what I would term 'an ending' although I think that may be a tendency with Prompt stories. This one definitely has the scope for more and I do intend to continue it. So leaving at In Progress was intentional.

hee-hee indeed Thanks for the comment CG

Thanks Chris. Do you want another slice of pizza?

Thanks for the comment, comicfan.

A good question DQ - or should that be questions? It does appear neither of them are having an easy life.

No Anchovies - The Sighting I stood outside the diner and looked in the window. As I suspected, it wasn't busy with just a couple of tables occupied; hardly surprising really as it was getting late and not far from closing time. I stuck my hand in the pocket of my jeans and pulled out a handful of coins and small bills. I checked them over – yeah there was enough, but I knew that already, so why was I delaying I wondered to myself. Just then my stomach rumbled and the decision was

Initially a response to Prompt 775 for Chapter 1, but using Prompt 777 on Chapter 2

So good to see that Tyson is likely to have a long and happy future. With Masha & Vlad by his side, I'm sure True Tyson will be able to dispense with both Scared & Angry Tyson.

I'll join those who have had their appetite whetted and want to know more.

Enjoyed the tale and the clever use of the prompts.

Do not be fooled, as I nearly was, by the opening couple of chapters of this story. You could easily be misled into thinking it is a guidebook to Ravello and its environs such is the detail provided by the author. Indeed I suspect it could easily be used as such. However, it then develops into a complex story of how a young teen (Gianni) who has recently been orphaned, is transported to live with grandparents who he has never met. The culture change from London to southern Italy is dramatic. His grandparents and other relations are steeped in the traditions of the area and dominated by their religious beliefs. Gianni finds it hard to adjust to his new life until he finds a friend – Angelo. The relationship that slowly develops between them is the crux of this special story.

Good to find that it will (perhaps) turn out alright for Gianni and Angelo after the initial storm has passed.

Should one have expected better from Marina? She forced her daughter to leave and now she is forcing her grandson to do the same. Seemingly she didn't learn anything the first time, but then she has never seen her grandson so can have no great feelings for him. Plus, she is old and deeply influenced by her RC faith. I guess one shouldn't be too hard on her, but.......

Am glad to see someone else shared my views on that scene. It just didn't ring true which was a shame.

I guess in the final chapter it will be left to Charlie to sum up.

Kelly appears to have finally seen the light and perhaps there is hope for Charlie, so things are looking up.

This is proving to be a very enchanting tale.

I had the distinct impression Gavin's family had virtually no interest in him, so might not even notice he was 'missing'
