I absolutely love this short story. I have read about twenty this summer and this is one of the best. I get the humour, the tears, the mum (!). If you see this review PLEASE trust me. This is quality writing. thanks 😊

Epilogue - How It All Turned Out
Gary L commented on James Matthews's story chapter in Epilogue - How It All Turned Out
Agree with above comments but overall finally we can see a great character development from the first appearance of the Saturday boy at the pup. ive enjoyed this a lot. -
Not politically correct these days but these guys need one of my mum’s smacks on the back of their legs. They used to get my attention pretty quickly 😓

This is a jewel of a piece. Jack has screwed up, very badly and hardly knows why. This v short story is the tale of his redemptive journey through his community service. It also serves as a good intro to the author’s longer work. a great read from one of my new favourites on GA.

Great things come in small packages. You get the power of simple human contacts perfectly. As I’ve said elsewhere, you’ve got talent. Gx

Good chp, I felt the last was a bit lacking in action but this is sizzling like a real bbq. The dad is hilarious 🤣 great work.

Yep my tummy is rumbling and I’ve just had breakfast! 😃

Retreading this it is so good. Funny yet more and more thoughtful. Good stuff 🤗

YES 👏 PLEASE 👏

Although it’s a while since I was following the updates of this contemporary Covid tale, I strongly recommend it and it is a read you won’t regret. the family is filled with lifelike, relatable characters and we feel like neighbours as we shared/share the same Covid experience. A fun read but with depth. Enjoy it 😉

I really enjoyed this brief trip to Austria. The author writes really well with a nice sardonic sense of humour which works well for the older narrator. share more!!!

Chapter 2: Mysterious Stranger
Gary L commented on C. Henderson's story chapter in Chapter 2: Mysterious Stranger
Well I’m tucked up in Spain smothered in anti mosquito 🦟 spray, plug-ins, candles etc. will I be safe tonight???? Great writing MR H. I’m going to risk reading more - but please control the blood scenes. Un abrazo 🤗 -
rjo I share your feelings. The trouble is that MR A is so good that we cannot predict the twists and turns…. And yet as in all his stories the logic is there, it’s like revisiting an Agatha Christie to see how she fools us. of all the great stories I have read on GA these last few years, those by Mark Arbour are in a league apart. regards x

Lovely. I almost missed this coda. the story is delightful. The wedding family nightmare scene is why I’m almost always “unable” to attend weddings. great writing ✍️

A beautifully-crafted story of a road trip that comes to an end with a bang - literally. But then enters an Amish family and two worlds collide, with another bang and a kiss. this is the story that you desperate want to have a continuation but that deep down you know it is complete and that the author has done her job superbly well. A treasure to read on a lazy Sunday morning. Thank you.

Chapter 2: Mysterious Stranger
Gary L commented on C. Henderson's story chapter in Chapter 2: Mysterious Stranger
I’ve just my virginity to a vampire story! I’ve never watched vampires 🧛♂️ or read any of their stories, but this tale is intriguing me. Won’t be donating any blood though, sorry 😞 -
The final part of a wonderful piece of writing. It will resonate with all who are trying to move through the grieving process, but especially for those who have lost a twin or sibling. “I enjoyed it a lot” don’t seem to be the right words but I am glad I read it and finished moved but hopeful. well done, writer.

This is the equally powerful second part of an emotional triptych. Imperative to read the first part before. this is beautifully written, great use of language, to communicate the still raw emotions of a twin left behind. this is a writer with real skill.

A great story to relax with. I didn’t bother with it when it came out - a mistake. It’s a great pastiche of the show but the writing is high quality, the comments genuinely amusing, and if you try to answer the questions immediately you get a sense of how easy it is to make mistakes. reading this will make you want to read other great story’s by mr Aus.

Perfectly put Chris! I’ve had a good laugh but also enjoyed the reflections of young Lance. 🤗
