I was planning on trying the Overnight Oats, after reading tim's blog, and we just haven't been to the store yet to get the ingredients. But, it's on the list for when we go.
I loved these characters, and I'm glad to see that you decided to expand their world. The writing flowed well, the dialogue was good. Excellent all around.
Excellent poems, tim. April 29th's was a nice reflection. Very thoughtful after the event of last week. April 30's, however, I see it differently from the other commenters. It reminds me of relationships. Notably, an old relationship, that may have resparked, and you're giving it another go... until to you find the spectors from the past still there, and call it off again. Hoping for a new relationship with someone more trustworthy.
No offense taken, but it took me a moment to get what you said. LOL Reading comments when you first wake up. Thank you for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Thanks, Renee. I really appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you liked it. It was fun to write. I think I may need to do another steampunk piece in the future.
Thanks, Puppilull. I'm just getting into that genre and had just read Dreamspinner Press' Steampunk anthology when I got the idiom. I had to go that route. LOL. Yes, it was very fortunate for Lord Tillerson to get into the position he did with the King. When the opportunity arises, sometimes, you have to go for it.
Thanks for reading, Comicfan. The other story was part of the Forbidden Love Newsletter game that Cia did for Valentine's Day. I had a lot of people ask for a follow up on it, but that story ended with no way to continue. So, I felt this was a good way to link the two, but at the same time, the first one isn't really needed.
Excellent story Mac. I've had this procedure done a couple of times, and it does sound like a large crack going off when it does. Great use of the idiom!
