    Chapter 1 Hooked

    Marty commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 1 Hooked

    I never really thought of Andrew as the bad guy in this tale. Probably the only thing he did wrong may have been to have waited too long to let Anthony know exactly how he was feeling. But I can hardly blame him for that, either.

    Howdy, Page Considering the fact that we had rain promised for this afternoon, I was surprised when I managed to get out into the hills with a friend and walk his dogs without any rain to spoil it. That's probably because I insisted on bringing my rain gear; it seems to only rain when I don't bring it.

    Chapter 1 Hooked

    Marty commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 1 Hooked

    What a lovely tale of love lost and love found. You certainly know how to paint a scene, Gary. Although I have never been a fisherman, I could certainly relate to the feeling of peace, and of being at home, that Anthony fet when he stepped into the river. I experienced similar feelings when I am out for a day or more exploring hills and mountains. I wish Tony and Clark many happy years to come. I envision the cabin being filled with the sounds of laughter in the future. And I'm sure that will include the laughter of youngsters as well, considering Tony's dreams of picket fences and adopting kids, and the enjoyment Clark obviously gets from his Big Brother role. And I'm sure Grandma will be watching over them every step of the way.

    Thanks for the comment, @Talo Segura. Interesting to read your take on Sean's character. I was trying to show in this chapter that there is a likeable side to Sean when he is not totally drunk. Maybe I need to try harder in future chapters? Or maybe you're right, and there's nothing really likeable about him at all...

    Cheers! Same to you. Hey, young Bertie. Howdie, Parker Agus tú féin, a Gary (And yourself, Gary)

    Heading out meeting some friends for lunch. If the weather stays good we plan to walk the dogs after lunch. Might catch yous all later. Although I must finish editing Chapter 3 of my Danny Murphy novel, ready to upload it over the weekend (and also start writing the next chapter of Fragments of Sean). Later gang!

    Not too bad of a day here in Ireland. Clouds and sun, dry up to now. Temp only in low teens (Celcius), though. Sad in a way that, so close to the summer solstice (like only 7 days away), I'm calling a day like today as being not too bad. Most summers a day like this would definitely fall into the not so good category...

    Morning, Xan And g'day to the rest of ye.

    I hadn't really considered a tragedy as the way of bringing the relationship to a close.Perhaps a move away for one of the two could be a way of closing off the story. That might not please readers, but it would perhaps mirror the way real life often goes. I'm still struggling with this. I do like happy endings, but that's not always what happens in real life...

    Al good here, thanks, Curti. Yourself?

    Yea... What clo said. Hey, Curti

    Cheers, Geron! Hopefully we will find out in the next chapter how Gary really feels about his son's sexuality (and his behaviour).

    Hey, Page!
  15. Marty
    Well, I finally finished editing Chapter 3 of my Fragments of Sean story and have uploaded it....

    Let's hope that's not just a case of self deception on your part, Kitt... I'm not melting yet. But the weather is showing some signs of improvement. Who knows, Ireland might just get a summer this year.. Ooops! I read that as giant bender to begin with. Hey, duggy! How's it going, young Bertie?

    Sean almost never seemed to be where he said he would be. Hopefully this time it was simply because I had arrived about ten minutes early. There were double yellow lines painted each side of the road near the bank preventing me from parking immediately in front of it. So I made a left turn, drove down Dublin Road and managed to find a parking spot a hundred yards or so down, just outside the offices of the Tuam Herald newspaper. Exiting and locking the car, I started to roll a cigare

    Well good to see you, anyway. Sorry to hear about your mum. Dementia can be so difficult. And so often it's the family that suffers the most. I really need to get to bed. It's well after midnight here. Chat yous all later.

    Yea, I'm a very long time on GA. But was AWOL for getting on for ten years. Only started CotT-ing since about February. So it's really me that's the newcomer.

    Hey Parker Hi, Dahawk! Yea, that long that I don't even know who you are Welcome (back) to the madhouse!

    Chapter 5

    Marty commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 5

    I think just because of the sheer introspection that it contained. Much of the chapter up to this point had been involved in an almost technical explanation of all the steps and problems involved in setting up everything for the .revenge surprise attack in the morning. So this paragraph almost sounded like poetry when it appeared.
