You might be right there, thanks Pvtguy

Revenge does, very much agreed. Add in a kind of obsession and mild psychosis? you got problems! Thanks for the comments Vblew

HAHAHA!!! The second picture really sums up the meeting with the Sheperd brothers before Ben was taken away to be "dealt) with. Great, Love it!

Hey Summer, Thanks so much for the kind compliments and for the impressive review of this chapter. You have made some great points, especially the one about Leander standing up to his family. We're not sure yet (or haven't been told) the true extent of the beatings the younger children got from (Scott) their father. I would imagine that will come out soon (wink wink). Looking forward to your thoughts going forward. Thanks for ready and for being so kind about the novel. James

Wednesday 10:21pm - Luke Leander and I walked into the old cottage-cum-shack and went through the newly founded ritual of lighting a few candles. The old bashed-up lounge was now flicking in an orange hue and a light breeze blew through the broken glass window. Bear suddenly grabbed me by the back of the head and pulled me in for a deep kiss. It was unlike any kiss we'd shared so far. It was a sensual but desperate feeling. His tongue explored my tongue, and I could feel his warm br

@weinerdog@pvtguy@drsawzall You all make compelling points about the situation and I agree with much of what was written so far. Pvtguy I would say seems to have his smell on the right track. I won't say anymore of course, but from what I've already written, I can see why you would think the the way you are. The Witch must be tamed! How? We don't know yet. I don't know yet, but she is the monster that has been created! hahaha It's going to get rocky for a few chapters I think. Will it end in disaster or happily ever after. Who can say. I am loving this right now. Escaping with these characters after a long day at work brings me so much peace. Glad to have you all my readers along for the ride. James

Wednesday 5:39pm - Luke With a bag slung over my shoulder, I shut the door to my beat up car and stormed into Taz's backyard. Knocking on the back door, I waited for someone to let me in. I saw a shimmering image approaching me, and then the door opened. "Oh hey, Honey, my, you look stressed." "Hi Sharon," I said, greeting Taz's Mum. "I need a favour." "Sure, what is it?" "I'm homeless for three days. Dad and I, we uh... well, let's just say he kicked me out. But

There will be a slight delay in chapters for a little while as the schedule has caught up with me. I am now writing to get one done for each 24 hour posting. I don't want to force a chapter if the ideas are not there so there may be some gaps now until I get ahead again. I normally write the most on a Sunday when I can relax a bit more.

Your Gifs always bring a whole new meaning to the comments Dr! Hahaha

I think you are in the... "He went overboard" grouping

Hmm, Luke operating a Roller coaster? LOL. Well anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Thank you, glad you liked it

Do you think he went a bit overboard, or got it just right. Although it didn't do him any good in the end

Wednesday 7:39am - Luke Leander led me out of the caravan and over to his Mother. She seemed to have this sort of thousand-yard stare going on about her. Finally, she looked up and smiled at her Son, revealing the close relationship they shared. "I can't believe he's gone," she said, putting her hand on Leander's chest. "It was so quick. It's like it's not real." "You have us. You have us all around you." "I'm not sure what to do, Son. I feel so lost." Leander pulled h

Thanks for the kind words Dr. Yes it was quite moving to write as well. When I need to do scenes such as this i'll put some reflective minor key music on to keep my mood level for the chapter in place. That probably sounds totally strange, but it does help when writing the deep stuff. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it and it lived up to a good standard. I think if you were to take all the children, they each had a different relationship and view of their Dad. I wanted to layer that out in this chapter and hope (apart from Sam and Seb) It played out as planned. Many thanks for the comments again. I really do appreciate the feedback! James I think it's all coming to light now what was going on behind closed doors. Thanks Pvtguy

Wednesday 5:19am - Luke My head is a mess; I'm falling all over the place. Still half-drunk, still half asleep. My phone... where has my phone gone. I can't find my phone because I don't care about phones and that's the reason I can't bloody find it! I found it! "Taz?" I said as softly as possible, my voice gentler than the shove I was giving him. "Taz, wake up!" "Huh? What? Luke, it's the middle of the night. Hmm, I don't feel so good." "Jesus, Taz, are you go

Yep, I added that in earlier on in the story. It might have been missed, it was a very small comment

With that scene, it depends how much you want to read into it? I obviously can't give anything away, that would be naughty!

It's funny, As a reader I hate cliff hangers UNLESS the next chapter is vailable straight away. I'm sorry guys, I had to throw one in!

Haha, bit of a curve ball there with These two. I'm not sure it can happen again in Luke's eyes. As for Taz, who knows what's going on in is head. Perhaps a weakness?

Tuesday 7:23pm - Luke "So, my little loved-up Brother from another Mother, tell me everything?" Taz asked excitedly as I took my sneakers off and climbed on his bed. I lay on his grey duvet and shoved a pillow over my head. I felt much younger tonight, like a silly fifteen-year-old with his first secondary school sweetheart. My God, it was sad! I lifted the pillow off my face and let my head fall to the side in the direction of Taz. "It was fucking A man!" Taz l

Monday - 5:01pm - Leander 3 hours ago I'd just let a load of people off the ride I was operating when I saw my Mother in the distance walking towards. Her pace quick. "Bear?" She called. I was now walking away from the Barracuda... which is the name of the attraction. It basically spun upside down. There were two 'boats' which ran in opposite directions. In the grand scheme, it was one of the better attractions as it got the riders' blood pumping and provided

Thank you Doha for such endorsing comments. It was a pleasure to write. Yes, I agree. All of us are not immune to the complex world we now live in and It can break us. James 🙂

Seems like a pretty big bit of news they have. It's coming and it's already been written

Oh your last comment made me laugh out loud, quite loud. Great points you made there and I think you're right about Luke missing Leander. I think we are in the realms of 'so in love' to the point of taking abullet already for Leander (Bear) that I wonder how Luke would cope if he did leave with the fair. Luke does need to give Bear more time though. He's getting very pushy in a subtle way. I get it, but it's not gonna end well if he carries on. Man I love writing all these people. Haven't had this much fun writing since TBfCBD. Thanks for yo thoughts, I love reading what you all think. But you know that, right?" PS. We have a building site near to where I work. As it's summer, and summer equals less garments. I do end up taking a longer lunch.
