I had a lot of fun writing Brad and Charlie's scene, it feels natural to me so I'm glad that you enjoyed it too. It's great to see so many readers rooting for Michael with his job application, no experience is sometimes a great asset. Thank you for the picture @Albert1434, I love it.

Charlie and Michael will grow and gain more confidence over time, How much time no one can answer as it is different for everyone. As you rightly say good friends can help them to overcome their insecurities by standing by them. 🤞 I've still got my fingers crossed for Charlie and Brad, I hope they don't try rushing things. Michael is showing his talent, could he make a living from it? Will his interview work out? The answers are in the future. Like most in their situation, they would benefit more from a 'hand-up' rather than a 'handout'.

Looking up, and on the way up. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it remains that way. 🤞

Thank you my friend, as always your support is appreciated.

Kenny's uncle and aunt stooped to a low that no one should stoop to. I think Kenny's interests will be looked after as best as possible given the circumstances. The Major's PTSD is from his military service and is clearly exacerbated by his drinking. It is possible that there could other hidden consequences and he does need professional help and support. Jeff is qualified and may take on that role to help The Major.

My guess is Kenny's speech was fine until he lost his parents, his uncle and aunt do not sound like good people to me, somebody needs to look into matters, and quickly. Becky and Jim have good appetites and Becky is eating for two, lol. But my guess is the breakfast was smaller than it sounds. The single red rose is symbolic and touching and considering the budget they would have to live on I think it was a romantic gesture by Jim.

'Prison Justice' as it is known is not the same as justice in the courts and is sometimes carried out without concern for a person's past, it is frowned upon and always investigated not always with any success. Now we will never know about the two men's past. It is a welcome surprise for The Major, I'd guess that his mental health was the main reason for not knowing of it. He will look after those he feels are deserving, but he is no easy touch which is good or he could be taken advantage of.

Thank you for the kind comments. I'm happy that you find it easy to read and enjoy. I enjoyed writing it and found that some parts were easy to write and flowed easily, some parts were difficult to write for various reasons but the writing was still a pleasure. The Major is one of those characters that stands out, once seen never forgotten. He has an 'air' about him which could be a trait from his military days, but he was always a gentleman no matter how bad things got. William Matthews and his cohort will be dealt with, but it may surprise you.

I'm off to my regular Tuesday appointment now so I'll catch up with comments later.

If we had rock spiders in the UK I'm sure that someone would find a way to introduce them to some prison inmates. Graham Peterson gets pushed to one side in this story as other events overshadow him. But we can hope that he meets Bubba, lol. Many arguments are stupid, and this one definitely was. I think it will all work out in the end. I love meat and could never give it up, but I do enjoy the occasional veggie meal, they can be very tasty. Gammon is another variant on pork as is ham and bacon, not to everyones taste but popular with a lot of meat eaters.

Thank you @JohnnyC for clearing that up. It is probably the appearance of characters in multiple stories that caused the confusion. Merry Christmas to you too and to all of my readers.

The Major loves Ian and Kevin, but I think he doubted their feelings for him, now he has it confirmed and hopefully will settle down and enjoy his new life. Yep Jason and JJ are one and the same. By reading the new story you know the final outcome for them but this will fill in a couple of blanks for you. The old comedies are the best, I'll often watch them when I need a good laugh. Thank you for the comments my friend, please keep them coming.

I love the comments. The New Boot tries to follow where The Boot and be as inclusive as possible, so vegetarian options are a good thing to offer. I wish it was 'the' Adele but alas it isn't, although this Adele would like to be famous too. Michael is a good and talented singer and musician who can perform cover versions well, but no cover version is ever the same as the original. Both Brad and Charlie are confident young men who just happen to go shy around someone they like, I think their behaviour is an extension of that and shows that not every young man is a sex fiend who jumps into bed at the drop of a hat. I'm happy that you are still enjoying the story and thank you for commenting.

This is an original story and has not been posted anywhere else. I only post on GA. Some of the characters have previously featured in other stories that I have written and posted on GA as part of The Boot Series and The Lost Soul Series which form The Boot World. If you have seen any of my stories elsewhere I would appreciate the information as I will take steps to have copies of my stories removed as I have previously done.

I loved writing about Brad and Charlie's first make-out session, it felt so real, I hope others agree and will like it too. Who wouldn't like a good-looking talented young man? I wonder if anyone will pick up on the clues?

As an officer, he was always well turned out and in proper military uniform for any given occasion, except for when on active duty. You may be right about him being a good dancer, but I don't know as he never discussed it.

Psst, it's posted.

Thursday morning, Michael woke with a start and sat bolt upright in bed. Across the room, the sound of a loud bell ringing was silenced by Charlie. “Morning, Michael. Are you okay?” “No! What the hell was that noise? It's enough to wake the dead.” Michael was irritable and tired. “Sorry. It's the only alarm clock Gramps has spare, and you know I need to get up for work.” As he got out of bed to go to the bathroom, Charlie tried to sound apologetic but was secretly amused at Michael's s

Chapter 20 No Guarantees
Mancunian commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 20 No Guarantees
I think Jubal did the right thing in taking some time for himself. Yes, he was overthinking some and second-guessing himself on some thoughts, but he is finally admitting to himself, albeit reluctantly, that he has real feelings for Lucas and a longing for something more settled in his life. The land has a draw for him like a magnet, I'm hoping the draw is as strong as his feelings for Lucas. Finding the herd of wildings will also strengthen that draw and hopefully give him the excuse he needs to make his decision easier and stay in the town that is slowly working its way into his dreams. I've got my fingers crossed that this means he will be staying, and hopefully, giving him and Lucas the opportunity they need to make a future together.- 53 comments
