Hey, Duggie!
Changeable sort of day here in the west of Ireland. Periods of sun, with showers in between. Mid-teens (Celsius/Centigrade) - feeling warmer when the sun is shining.
Hey, Gary!
Unfortunately, I didn't. I just couldn't find a way of bringing it to a satisfactory conclusion in the allowed word limit. Not to worry; it may eventually become a multi chapter story, instead.
Greetings, young Albert!
Enjoying the story, and the characters.
Just one thing about the following:-
In the UK (including England) whilst it is LEGAL for someone aged 18 or over to buy a child aged 16 or 17 beer, wine or cider if they are eating a table meal together in licensed premises, it is illegal to serve alcohol to anyone under the age of 18 in a licensed premises; or for that person to attempt to buy alcohol, either in a pub or in a shop.
Well, it's now almost 2 in the morning, and I really should get some shut eye. I'm around two thousand words in, and not really sure how many thousand more I need to write before I can bring it to a satisfactory ending. The cut-off date is very close, so I can't afford to waste too much time. Fingers crossed...
Good night, gang!
Thanks, Geron.
This piece was intended to be a prologue to a novel I was intending to write. There's another small fragment of the same novel already here on GA but, if I ever do get round to finishing the novel, I doubt that either of these two pieces will feature in it.
I'm not sure whether it will be any good, or even get finished on time.
But it's time I actually wrote something new, rather than just uploading stuff I wrote years ago - like this piece from 1998 that I put up yesterday (it was actually my first ever attempt at gay-themed writing)....
