Nice opening to the story, it's definitely got my attention.

Whatever your reasons were for improving your health you are now about to share that with your brother. You obviously have a close bond between you, that will now be stronger than before. I admire you for what you have done and are about to do, I wish you both well and look forward to more positive news in the future.

A little uncomfortable but well on the road to recovery thank you. I'm happy that your enjoying the story, there still some 'ups and downs' to come but I can't give anything more away. The CEO of the tissue company read the story and refused to sell any shares, he just rubbed his hands in glee, lol. 😁

Thank you I do my best, I hope you continue to enjoy the story.

After that night my visits with Alan were increased to twice a week until I settled back down, sometimes Jack and Maggie were included. The nightmares became less frequent, as always when I woke from them I was being hugged by at least one of my ‘family’. It probably wasn’t coincidence that the ‘bedwetting’ became less and I started to feel more confident. We were taught new things and school became more interesting. Carl was better than me academically and he helped me. It turned out that

Definitely a different take on things and convincingly told, you could almost believe that the whole scenario.

I'm tired of this, so I'm going home! It wasn't said in anger, it wasn't shouted. It was said quietly, in sadness and frustration. The meeting had been friendly and informal, but left me disappointed and apprehensive about the future. I just needed to be out of there to find peace and think. Leaving Charlie, my boss, sat behind his desk I walked out of his office, I felt as though I was ready to scream. My suit jacket was draped over the back of my chair, picking it

A response to Prompt #694 - Creative Tag - First Line, I'm tired of this, so I'm going home! It prompted me to think of an event in my past and decided to share, maybe give you something to think about. It's reasonably accurate and factual.

Beautifully written with feeling.

Wow, not just beautifully written, it's more. This sucked me in and made me feel the emotions, thank you.

Great story that is really about two instances of unrequited love, I'm happy that you ended it on a good note with them getting together.

A wonderfully cute and funny story, I love how they get together at the end, nicely written.

That's good advice from @Mikiesboy, all I would add is be patient with yourself and don't put yourself under pressure and enjoy your relationship. all the best of luck for the future.

Thank you this was a very difficult chapter to write, there are a great many drafts that got binned, trying to find the write words for this does not come easy. It brought back memories of working with children who had similar experiences.

If I was an artist I couldn't paint this picture as beautiful as you describe it. You show skill and artistry in your writing.

A Life – As It Was Chapter 5. As I'm trying to be honest with you about my life I think I should warn you, part of this chapter is about my nightmares and the abuse. You may prefer to not read that part. I've marked it so that you can skip it and where to pick things back up. Chris. ***** After that visit from Janet I was a lot happier. I still had those nagging doubts and thoughts that it would all come to an end, but yes I'm sure I was a happier kid. The following weekend

Lovin' it I know I have to read more of your work. 😀

Well put together and well written, imagination has no bounds. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the read.

In your imagination anything is possible, I like the way you share that imagination.

A really good fun and slightly humorous read. It's always good to read something different and entertaining. Good stuff.

I don't know how you do it, you use words to paint a picture and do it well. The picture from this story became a short movie in my head, thank you for that experience.

Beautifully written, it made feel 'fuzzy' all over and brought a tear or two to me eyes at the end, well actually I blubbed. Now I want to read more of your work, thank you.

The variety of responses to this shows how much of an emotive topic this can be. I based my response on living in world no and how it was in the past. From that perspective Gay only and Gay friendly establishments are wanted and needed, due to both feelings of comfort and belonging as well as feelings of discrimination. Yes there is some reverse discrimination mainly brought about by self preservation which is natural. The need and possibly the want will not go away until acceptance is total, but total acceptance is probably being idealistic and may never happen. It certainly won't in my lifetime. One thing that doesn't help is the straight people that go to gay clubs and bars and then complain and cause trouble because they don't like to see gay people showing affection. This is happening more and more in the UK, what the hell do they expect? If they don't like it then don't bloody go there. My point of acceptance is idealistic and probably will never happen. That being the case, Gay only and Gay friendly will always be wanted and needed.

I'm always sceptical of stories set in the future but this one drew me by it's realistic outlook on what could happen. It takes skill to draw in the sceptic, but to get the sceptic hooked takes brilliance. Everyone should read and enjoy.
