I read that story recently and loved it, it was a fun read.

Sounds fair to me

The sky is going dark here, U think we're in for another thunder storm 🤔

One for @Albert1434 ?

Going by that picture they have claimed each other, so I'll have them both,

A great short story from an author who shows good talent. Adam and Luke are two very different, but close friends. Will their friendship survive Luke's bombshell? Read it, find out what you think and decide. This is a thought-provoking read which I recommend.

The scene was very well set, as were the characters who are strong but have different personalities. It's probably those differences that drew them together and strengthens their friendship until the bombshell dropped. Adam's reaction is understandable considering his upbringing by a preacher and his wife, although that does not make it right. Naturally, Luke is hurt and understandably so. Reading between the lines I'd say that Luke hoped their friendship was strong enough to overcome this difference too, but feared that it wasn't. Luke's hurt shows, hence his tears, but he regains his strength and holds out hope that the friendship can be saved and I hope that he is right. I applaud the bravery in sending the text, he's fighting for the friendship letting Luke know that it means something and important. It is my hope that Luke realises that and that his response is a positive one. I know what want that last message to be. You drew me in and I could feel the friendship. You told me a good story that held my interest, I was enjoying it until you dropped the bombshell and I read the end through tears. How could you end on such a cliffhanger? Not really, I enjoyed it from start to finish. The ending is nicely done leaving it all in the reader's mind as you left us to end the story in our own way. I know how I want it to end and would love to see a follow-up. Okay, some have said that there are some writing and grammatical errors, so what, it is still a good story and they did not detract from that. None of us authors are perfect, my own stories prove that I'm not, but we can all improve given time and some good help. You show good talent, please continue to write and share that talent.

The temperature varies between 23 and 29, but my apartment just absorbs it. Outside it's currently 29 but warmer indoors. I've got fans going in every room to help.

Afternoon Clo, are you still having the warm humid temperatures the same as us in The UK?

There is no need to apologise, you need to do what you feel is right for you. But remember, you do have talent.

He needs a beefy guy around to help him with the heavy work.

Don't take too many steps forward, you may end up in Texas near Drew!

That's not what I meant, and you know it! But you have to laugh at the humour in the comment, sorry Page but I did laugh

Aloha @Albert1434 how are you and Steve today? As you can see we are already well into it

You really should come back and finish this story, as others have said you have talent. Stories that are autobiographical are some of the most interesting and better stories on GA, they can also be cathartic for the author helping to deal with issues and put them behind you, I'd love to see this finished and hope that you will.

He's a good and knowledgeable man and should be listened to.

Wow, are experimenting with poetry now?

I wish to apologise for a misleading post I made earlier 👇 👇 Expand pfft, not in a million years, your still wet behind your ears and it's affecting your brain This was totally misleading as it implies that Drew has a brain, something of which I am yet to see any evedence of, there fore we must conclude that he doesn't have one.

He's definitely insidious

Respect cannot be demanded, it has to be earned. So start earning it

One for Clo

Heavy rain and a thunderstorm has just passed over Manchester, now the sun is back, but it's so warm and muggy.

Aloha my friend, how are you today

And I graciously hand him over, but the bribe with a chocolate cake is still on the table
