    Chapter 7

    Gary L commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Chapter 7

    There is an old saying something like this, “if you sup with the devil you need to have a very long spoon”. Being with a truly evil person can easily contaminate - not in the sense of converting you, but corroding something inside you unless you are careful. The police who have to search through the most awful porn have such a tough, and unsung, job. This is a fascinating tale, who knows where the author will take us.

    A fascinating, subtle installment. V enjoyable with lots to reflect on about one’s youth. Thank you, Robert

    A tough read but worth it. Much resonates but other parts challenge me a lot. well written, of course, and it’s a jewel (a garnet, yes?)

    Meet The Parents

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Meet The Parents

    The tension is mounting towards the revelation to Kris of his origins. It’s going to be tough. Will JJ be emotionally capable of being there for someone? Intriguing. 🤨 (Disclaimer: please note this chapter was certified (ok by me) as having been read before claiming dibs on the first comment prize. BTW what exactly is the prize?)

    I loved the chp and the comments which, for me, are summed up by @pvtguy’s comment. Much to reflect on here. happy weekend to you guys from the newly-retired Gary, as of 2.44 hours ago!

    This Lle Wilson story is a bit different and focuses on entering into a very new world for the protagonist, Manny. It’s a rollercoaster ride for him and us readers, as well! as ever, with Lee, there is an edgy style that I for one, really enjoy. So, dive in, sit next to Manny in the lawyer’s office and reflect if you would have said yes or no…… A great read.

    Almost July and not had AC on here yet in Valencia, Spain, although outside it has touched 35° some days… But the horror will arrive soon.

    Twenty-Two

    I use the same Sheffield knives every day. They sat unused in a drawer for 60+ years and then came to me. Love them.

    The Exhibition

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in The Exhibition

    Try Lucien Freud’s painting of the (I think) social security supervisor for size……

    What @centexhairysub said! Robert is a master of how to pitch and control descriptive writing. He manages to paint pictures of characters so distinctively any yet so concisely. I felt I was standing there just outside the loggia capturing passing comments. @Robert Hugill I think this story is possibly your best. Thank you.🙏

    My knowledge of Mannerism is virtually zero, so thank you for stimulating me to explore…… not sure if I would buy any of FH’s collection ( even if I had the money) but give me some more Hockney’s and I would be a happy boy!

    Mother

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Mother

    An utter delight. I’ve spent a couple of hours catching up on this story and it has not been disappointing. Very nice writing, as usual, but I have to say that “Mother” is one of @Robert Hugill’s best creations. A perfect don’s wife.

    Martin and Bart

    Gary L commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Martin and Bart

    Been to that type of bitchy party - never again!

    That’s cheating! I read it first and then commented. Enjoy your glory! PPS it is a great read. Xx

    Another truly wonderful installment. So much is packed into so few words, and yet it all flows beautifully. Thank you so much Mark. I thought Northern Exposure could not be equalled - I fear it has a rival in my heart ❤️
