I couldn't be happier to see you post something, boy. This poem is clearly written from your heart, and I love it.
Bleeding has never been, nor will it ever be, required of you - not by me - so put that out of your head right now. Obedience can be demonstrated in everyday ways, even the small stuff. Concentrate on that. i won't ever demand anything more from you. xo
Thanks, Wayne. It's nice to see it there after such a long hiatus. I've had a few binge-readers in the past 48 hours, that feels good, too. Probably your prompting!
Rain/snow mix happening now, full blizzard later. I was out at a new-build jobsite helping measure cabinet layout on the floor, and the structure only had exterior walls and a roof - no drywall, no heat. I'll be heading home early today.
Hope you DiCsters are good!
I try not to fall into stereotyping situations and people, but I'm sure I do sometimes, regardless. Here, I made the conscious effort to place a male nurse in the ICU. Thanks for noticing.
I get a sense this chapter riled you up a bit, Thorn, hehe. That's probably a good thing, it means I'm doing my job as a writer. Thanks for taking this story on and reading through from the beginning. Your comments have been great and mean a lot to me.
I like Parker's idea of a shock collar for Eric, hehe. We shall see if money is the key to getting rid of him.
You've been a supporter from Day One, and I appreciate it, Val. As for the release of the next chapter...
Hmm, yes, we shall see...
So, I want to say THANKS for reigniting an urgency to complete this chapter and to continue this story. I intend to see it through to the end. Your feedback and comments mean a lot, Wayne. Cheers.
sean had a wild hair and bought Mozzarella N' Marinara flavored Ruffles potato chips, which I'm currently munching on for lunch. Like eating fried cheese sticks dipped in tomato sauce, but crunchier. Not horrible, but strange.
Thank you, tim. You're right, you can feel some empathy towards Travis' condition/situation. I was concerned about depicting things right. Elaine loves her son, and her son loves Ben, so, yeah, she did the right thing. I appreciate you following this story since I first came to GA. xo
I'll try to forewarn you next time, hehe.
Well, I'm impressed that you remembered all of that, considering how long it's been between chapters! I think we can all agree that Eric is a scumbag and untrustworthy. Ben feels some desperation to make things magically right for Travis, especially after seeing him in the ICU - but he's not the brightest bulb in the light fixture.
Thanks so much for reading, even after all this time. I always enjoy your comments.
