I'm rather into control, as you may know. And sometimes we need to be firm, to gain control. But control is not cruel or painful. Be as kind as you can be, but as firm as necessary. You show us this very thing in the scene with the General. Empathy - we need more of it, not less. In your story, this is brought by an invader, a parasite, but one that brings benefits, rather than taking from us to the point of death. Now I suppose you'll turn this on its head and everyone will die. Right? Tricksy authors.

I enjoyed this chapter. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the poor nearly unsuspecting General.

Good to see you, rick. Take care and stay in touch when you feel up to it. -
Coming back to the light.

I'm glad to see your sunny self returning to us. Take your time and focus on you. -
I've discovered over the years that the only way to truly control an author is with a lot of rope. So, I guess we'll see what happens.

Government replaced by worms...sounds like a plan to me... and John and Atticus (there's a name you don't see often, well except in To Kill Mockingbird) It's Monday, Wayne. Not even Tuesday... I'm not a betting man and betting on when you will post the next chapter is a fool's game. LOL. This was a great chapter. A lot of thought went into it and it shows.

You're an intelligent man and a very good writer, but you need to work on your time management skills. Let's begin at the start, how many minutes in an hour, how many hours in a day and how many days in a week? You're a little bit early, which I did see you blamed on mind altering consumables. I suppose that will have to do as an explanation /reason. In any case. Another good chapter. I agree with you, based on what you've shown us so far, the worm would be a nice thing to have for a whole bunch of reasons. However, I am married to an author and I know from first hand experience they can be tricksy (tim's word stolen from LOTR, spoken by Gollum, I believe.)

Amazing work, tim. It's a wonderfully wrought poem. I hope as @Reader1810 said above, that these thoughts and feelings are purged.

Thank you, Parker. he's doing better.

I'm sorry to hear about your burden. I know I speak for tim, when I say you're welcome to reach out or visit Mikiesboy Drop in Centre if you need an ear or shoulder. Living with depression is difficult for the sufferer. I'll admit it's been hard for me, as a carer as well. Take good care of yourself.

As your Husband, sometimes these are difficult for me to comment on. Your friends above are right but I know you and I understand what anxiety and depression do to your sense of self. Hold on to your friend's comments because they are truth. You are robbed of your ability to see what we see when you're feeling low. Read what your friends are saying when you cannot hear us. xo

Chapter 1 - Rescinding Order 412
MichaelS36 commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Chapter 1 - Rescinding Order 412
Yeah, tim mentioned you were happy about it. That's great, but from what I've read you should be proud of all your stories. As well, good stories don't have to be long.- 50 comments

Bread equals love. That's true. tim's a fairly quiet person, but deeds speak loudly. I feel triply loved as tim made two batches of those blueberry bars! -

Things are good, thank you. Doing work I enjoy, have tim and Dan at home looking after that, so I don't have to. I take care of Mom's place for her since Dad passed. I think we'll go over there this weekend to visit which is a euphemism for 'use the pool'. This has given me an idea. I'll find out if she plans to be home, we could bbq, swim and deal with oncoming 95F plus, heat this weekend. Great idea, thanks, A!! You have a good weekend. I'm glad to see you back. -

Good to see you, A. -
Well said, tim. People are becoming more isolated and afraid but we need to fight that. Now is the time for community and some joy. Even if we just meet for a cup of coffee.
-
Well, you've let the cat out of the bag! No point in guessing now, is there? Nice kitty, k. Enjoy!!

I'm not sure that flammable and brains are a good combination. -

tim is doing really well, other than a nasty virus. And I believe your prediction is correct; things will be fine. -
I'm feeling a lot better now that we have a number of treatments under our belt, so to speak. It's the unknown that causes the most worry. The doctors and nurses that give these treatments take very good care of tim. That's all I can ask for. Exactly, my feelings about this are of little importance. I think tim is feeling positive and he seems a bit less stressed about everything. We will continue to follow doctor's advice and hope tim continues to feel good about his life. Thank you, my friend.
-
Thanks, my friend. I appreciate it.
-
Thank you, chris. I'll pass those along to tim.

Thank you, Reader. tim has one more treatment on Monday. Then he'll spend additional time with his doctor during the week. He will evaluate and decide on next steps or follow-up treatments. What they call "maintenance" treatments are usually done once a week and finally reducing down to once a month along with talk, and meds.
