This was short and sweet. Organised mono-theism has a lot of negative influences.

Thanks for the reply. I am glad to hear all is well. Here we do have snow, but the sun is returning so it will be gone soon. That is ok with me, because I am not so good at keeping warm 😆

Ehm... you did not brexit from my favorite story, did you? Seriously, I hope you are ok and will be inspired to gift us a new chapter soon. Cheers!

Confidence is attractive. Rick is clearly lacking confidence. But I am wondering what more he is missing. It can't be just age, can it? He is not that old anyway. The way he can't get anybody even slightly interested in him makes me wonder.

Now why would he do that? Hmm, this intrigues me 😉

Where I live they wouldn't even answer a phone for ten bucks 🤣

I don't know much about writing poems, but I do know that I liked this one very much!

a handsome and available neighbour boy? 😉

Poor naive N’than.

I especially liked The Earth. But I am afraid the last line is a prophecy

Now that we have cleared that, I can say that I don't agree with you that the relationship was damaging/poisonous. Both boys were new to this and mistakes are being made. Not with ill intent, in my opinion. Go Nathan! (sorry @droughtquake )

And you should It seems it all depends on the definition of "toxic"

@NimirRaj. Thanks for the explanation. My understanding of a toxic relationship was more of an (physically) abusive relationship. And I was wondering what I had missed.

@NimirRaj. Please remind me: what was toxic about the relationship between Robbie and Nathan?

WAR had a big impact on me. It made me reflect on my high school years and made me realise that it was not as happy a time as I previously thought. You can only do that once to me I do enjoy your writing. As with Aiden's story, I think the thing is we already know how it is going to end. That takes away part of the suspense in the story. Still a nice read though. You may be right and need a new universe to explore. I will be there to read all about it!
