I started to write comments to this effect last night @Lee Wilson, but I was suggesting death by hurricane. I could not think of a more delicious irony. I was trying to think of a suitable name for the hurricane, one which acknowledged their homophobia or one which would offend them. It was about 2.00am when I was doing this and the closest I got was Hurricane Alaska Thunderfuck, but I was not sure if her drag name was trademarked. In the end I thought I may offend someone by suggesting death would become them, but now I feel comfortable to do so. Go for the jugular Lee or should that be jugulars.

The only one which did was The Goonies 'R' Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper. I did not see the movie and was not sure if a Goonie and a Gremlin were similar "creatures" so chose not to post it for that reason. I suppose I could have posted Girls Just Wanna Have Fun for the "fun" that SLUT and Marjorie may well have, but given they are "baddies" I did not want to post just a joyous and celebratory song to acknowledge them. And Cyndi rocks. A genuine supporter of the LGBTQI community and a genuine talent.

Boo hoo Rebecca. You're pathetic, childish and very petty. Spoilt little drama queen and millennial princess. I really don't like her @Lee Wilson in case you have not guessed. And it appears Daddy shared the homophobia gene with her and Mommie Dearest. A change of scenery to Texas for both Peter and Aaron Jr may be just what the doctor ordered. Perhaps the beautiful vocals of three great American songbirds will accompany the boys as they travel west. Excellent chapter @Lee Wilson. Hopefully we have seen the last of Rebecca and her treacherous parents.

I am very surprised, pleasantly so @Robert Hugill. Like @peter rietbergen, I found myself beginning to like Therese in this chapter. Her character growth has been almost as significant as Ralph's. Her statement “You’re not the only one embracing things. ‘Yeah, that’s my gay ex-husband" indicated she has a sense of humour after all, and a good one at that. I think @Gary L has commented in the past words to the effect that if you get her away from her poisonous friends she is relatively pleasant. Morrie, he of the wandering hands, had best be a little more careful and discreet as he may find himself on the end of a sexual harassment charge. He has possibly assumed he can get away with it with fellow gay men, but this may not always be the case. I thought Milly presented very well in the previous chapter and liked her sense of humour and subtle bawdiness. It seems from comments in this chapter she is as she presented herself and dead keen on Ivor. She is just what the doctor ordered for Ivor. Norman and Sheila are so predictable. I could snark and say they both need an enema to loosen their moral constipation, but I think it is so entrenched it would be virtually impossible to administer such a treatment to either of them. Risque, riotous and riveting. Great stuff @Robert Hugill.

SLUT has been given enough power to wreak havoc and destruction for 24 hours. She reconstituted her most bloodthirsty hound, Marjorie, and called to arms her dark sprites Nancy, Fontelina, Lauren, Kasharyl, Ron, Dysentrina, Matthew and Putridena to begin the disruption to and harassment of the Norpolettes i.e. the residents of the North Pole. I am hoping the combined forces of good from the Norpolettes will be enough to destroy SLUT and her evil posse, such that their "souls" will forever live in torment in Texas or Alabama. I sense either Nicholas or Reilly must be the last surviving Sparkle Fairy. If it is the latter, he may not be 100% human after all. Perhaps a forefather or foremother had a liaison with a Norpolette, whether knowingly or unknowingly, and a child was born of the union, and that child has passed on his or her gene(s) down through the generations. I am looking forward to the destruction of SLUT and her helpers/followers @Ticklishboy30. The Great Spirit of Darkness should not be underestimated either.

Many may think me insensitive, which at times is probably true, but they had only known each other for a relatively short time, although she was "intense" very quickly. It was better for her to find out now than after they had married and/or had children together. Playing the "woman scorned" in these circumstances really rankled me. And the mother, what a bitch. Perhaps a little too much make believe courtesy of what I envisage is her likely religion, and too little reality. Daddy is an unknown quantity at this stage. It will be a delicious irony if he too is gay and his son's coming out encourages him to do likewise. Mamma may turn South American guerrilla if this occurs.

I thought you only moved from the UK to Spain when you retired late last year/early this year.

I knew I had read this in a story recently @empath but could not remember if it was this one or another with a similar theme (I thought it may have even been the latest one about Joshua Renkin). I should have researched it, but I was too lazy to do so and too eager to get my comment published.

I included all the 'Cards' as part of 'those involved in the boyflesh trade'. One very well known woman in recent times came to mind when I made this comment, one born in to a life of wealth and privilege. The age of the boys involved is what has shocked me the most @pvtguy. 7 year old boys traded as sexual commodities. I am not naive enough to think this does not happen, but it has been confronting to have had it laid so bare. @empath has done an outstanding job in revealing the ugliness of the whole racket, giving we readers just enough of the sordidness whilst making it still possible to read. Had it been too graphic I don't think I could have continued to read it.

I searched far and wide in comments you made recently, likely on one of Robert's stories, for the name of Lilebeth aka Spawn of Satan. I remembered how you commented you caught her eating duck fat out of the garbage, but could I find the comment, no. I look forward to a story with an appearance by both Greta and Lilebeth, a bit like the twins in Ralph:Breaking Free. It appears your literary debut has impressed quite a few "familiar faces" with @Tonyr, @drsawzall, @Tris and @Flip-Flop commenting. I expect this story might also appeal to @Cane23, @pvtguy, @CincyKris, @akascrubber and @centexhairysub as they often read and comment on Robert's stories. Your stories have a similar appeal to Robert's, a quintessential "Englishness" to them, a sense of whimsy and wry sense of humour, even if not set in the UK. I look forward to some unique @Gary Lisms, something like those Hugillisms, maybe with a Spanish twist.

One "trap" I think all we readers have fallen into @empath and @pvtguy is we have assumed all those involved in the boyflesh trade are men. There may be some women involved just as there may be some women who have procured the services of the boyflesh. Women are not immune from this kind of behaviour, in fact their gender may be helpful in protecting them because of the presumption they would not be involved in anything so heinous.

Unlike @pvtguy @empath, I am not always peaceful when contemplating the punishment for the "trash" of humanity, of which there is much, for crimes committed against animals and children especially. For this reason I am more than happy for the 54 cards, including Charles Miller and especially the Jack of Spades, to be tortured in any way you say fit. If it results in their death, so long as it is excruciatingly painful and slow, then I am all for it. I am not sure what Dominic De Luca has in mind for Roger. It is clear Dominic is disgusted with the "trade" Eddie was involved in so I do not think he will be at all upset if it is shutdown. If I am reading the story correctly, which for me is difficult due to its emotional impact, Dominic is not aware of who the Jack of Spades is, but he may be able to find out through his network of criminal associations. He may in fact assist the FBI and CPD in shutting down the racket. Riveting is the word I keep using to describe this story @empath and it was once again the most appropriate. I so hope Oliver survives, for his own sake and for the sake of the boys he is protecting. He may also be crucial to the case to ensure those involved never see the light of day again.

How could they not? I am eminently likeable, although I have little patience, especially with technology and those who treat me like I am a moron when I don't know something about technology which they say "but everyone knows that".

I have yet to find the perfect expletive to express my frustration with technology on many an occasion, and there is only so many times I can f-bomb and c-bomb in one sentence before it loses its impact.

An excellent observation @pvtguy. Felicity (as I have named her), appears to have enough "spunk" that she would not stay with her husband because she feels obligated to do so, if he is a total arsehole. Dad, whom Felicity has referred to as Richard, presumably because this is his name and he is not just a "dick", may feel uncomfortable with his brother-in-law because he feels "obligated" to be so due to his upbringing; or he may have an inflated opinion of his own appeal and think that all "poofters" would not be able to keep their hands off him because that is what they are all are like and he is hot stuff. I have found, laughably on a number of occasions, straight men who thought I would take one look at them and want to bed them. Puhlease, I'd rather fuck a watermelon I said on one occasion. I am sure @Mark Ponyboy Peters will reveal more of Richard's character and his reaction to having a gay son as the story progresses.

I did not see the twist coming either, but unlike my fellow readers I am not feeling any sympathy for Rebecca. Neither Peter nor Aaron Jr intentionally hurt her, and to their credit both disclosed their feelings honestly without disparaging her in anyway. My response to Rebecca, what are you 12? Grow up Rebecca. So your ego has been damaged but Peter's non-attraction to you is not a judgment of you, just as his possible attraction to your brother is not a judgment of you. As for their mother, what a disappointment, like mother like daughter. Aaron Jr is better off without them. Excellent chapter @Lee Wilson. As you can see I am in the minority; no sympathy for Rebecca or her mother. Selfish hyenas both. Send them on a one way ticket to Peru.

WTF? I started to write a comment. It appeared to have disappeared so I reinstalled it and continued expanding on the comment thereafter, only to find it was still there. Fucking technology pissing me off again.

I think your hope is in vain @pvtguy, at least initially. As observed by @Al Norris: "Please . . . just don't tell dad,' I pleaded. 'Not a chance,' she quietly replied." and: 'Wait . . . Uncle Bryan is gay?' 'You didn't know that?' 'Fuck . . . oh, sorry . . . I mean, wow! No I didn't know that. Why didn't anyone ever say?' 'I'll blame your father for that one." there is as much a chance of Grayson's father welcoming a gay son as there is a transgendered Republican being selected to run in an electorate in Georgia or North Carolina. Mum, whose name we do not yet know so I am going to name her Felicity, is an eminently sensible, kind and patient woman. She is keenly aware of her husband's mindset and is enough her own person not to feel obligated to share said mindset. I suspect Bryan is likely her brother rather than Grayson's father's brother, reason being if his father is uncomfortable with Uncle Bryan being gay he would more likely have demanded his brother stay away, whereas to do so to his brother-in-law would incur the ire of Felicity. Oliver is a delightful child, and that is a statement as likely to come out of my mouth as one in which I state I agree with the Republicans on an issue. His sensitivity to Grayson's mood and state of well-being remarkable for such a youngster. He appears to be an affectionate boy too, without being annoying. Gotta love those bright green AussieBum undies @Mark Ponyboy Peters. All my undies, footy shorts, swimwear, T-shirts, trackpants and nylon singlets are AussieBum, so I am a big fan of their gear. And an excellent chapter. I am intrigued who the "mystery" texter is, presumably it is someone to whom Grayson has given his phone number.

Saiblene Lorelei Ursula Trump, commonly known by her initials SLUT, is eager for revenge. She has summoned the “Great Spirit of Darkness” to assist her to exact it. She may find herself in difficulties though summoning the “Great Spirit of Darkness”, overwhelmed by the sheer number and weight of those whom such a title befits. Reilly and Kris will make a formidable team until Kris hands over the reins for good, and with Nicky talking to and helping the animals’ things may be looking up for them. I must know @Ticklishboy30 will Reilly have his “own” reindeer, a special one to whom he is very close? If so, I think his name should be Rupert. There was more sex to be had, and if George is rewarded for his talents (which were prodigious to put it mildly), there should be a lot more to cum.

I admire Grandpa's curiosity and determination; he will need the latter to navigate his way through any kind of relationship he may form. Findings some like-minded friends with similar interests would be a good way to start. I also think he needs to reveal his true-self to Alan and Mason, particularly if he meets someone and decides to "entertain" at home.

There is an 11.50 12" mix of I Eat Cannibals online which is spectacular (audio only).

Spit in her face or tell her what a lousy mother she was. I don't think either would upset her though as she would likely see it as a reflection of Ludo's "poor parenting " skills and being a "faggot".

Love it @Ticklishboy30. The Dancing Pectorals sounds like a great name for an 80's pop band, and boy those pecs should did dance. I had to laugh at the fire eater, I kept thinking he better not get too close to the band, especially the girls, as they looked to have so much hairspray in their hair it would ignite. The "blonde one" whom I thought you thought cute changed his hair colour for this appearance, although they all wore the same outfits as in the "official video" for the song. I really do quite like the song, very catchy. It reminds me a little of Toto Coelo who had a couple of hits in the UK and Australia in the early 80's, but nothing in the USA.

Maravilloso, esplendido @Gary L. A very impressive debut, one which had me running the gauntlet of emotions, running amok. Laughing, angry, fascinated and weeping, sometimes more than one emotion at the same time. "A thousand kilometres north-west, Consuela Orts i Roig sang out the Ave Maria as gustily as ever, proud of her leading position in the Midnight Procession. Suddenly her candle blew out." I almost peed myself laughing at this, her candle blowing out and then she dropped dead. Such dramatic imagery, such poetic justice. What a miserable old "carcass" (LOL @Tony R). I of course loved the inclusion of Greta as a vital member of the cast. For one brief horrible moment I thought maybe one of the eagles was going to sweep down and snatch her up, but fortunately this did not happen. I could not hurt one (I would be too frightened to even try), but I really do not like birds of prey at all, whether they be eagles, falcons, owls or any other. What a year for you @Gary L. First of all retirement, then moving across the Channel to a new homeland, then fatherhood and now the publishing of your first story on GA. What is next on your bucket list? Are you in the running to be cast as the next James Bond, modelling in posing pouches for Iverson's, a business partnership with Russ Kahn, your own reality TV show or a career in pop music as a member of a boy-band from Valencia? I hope to at least see more stories written by you on GA now that you have lost your "literary virginity", particularly if they are of the same calibre as this one.
