This story is a quasi-biblical story that is set in a small rural village in biblical times. It is actually a love story between a human mortal and a heavenly being, and the story is intense with many twists and turns. Although I had my doubts when I first started reading it, I was soon hooked and couldn't put it down until I finished reading all three chapters. I found it a truly enjoyable read and highly recommend it.

What a wonderful and intense ending to this fantastic story. I had a feeling you were going to let Jair become an angel, although I didn't envision what a powerful angel he would become. It's great that you let Epheriel and Eshiel express their love and remain together. It was truly an angelic romance. Well done and a pure pleasure to read.

A love story between an angel and a human. I think that's what is bothering Enoch. He was unable to have that type of relationship when he was human and now it isn't the same, even if he had a relationship with another angel. BTW, Enoch was Noah's grandfather. Thank you for another great chapter.

Thorn, thank you for this intriguing, imaginative, and innovative take on a semi-biblical story. I like Jair and am impressed with his maturity and how he dealt with Joseph, and I'm curious about Epheriel and this phantom 'evil' that seem to have it out for Jair. Great start and I'm glad that I'm backtracking to read the anthology stories I missed when the were first published.

If you enjoy werewolf stories, then you'll want to check this one out. It's well written, contains a romantic relationship, and a lot of drama. It's also only three short chapters long and you should find it a quick read, so it's perfect on multiple levels.

Wayne, I hope you can read this from where you are, but I truly enjoy this fantastic story. Kudos, my friend.

A very powerful chapter. I would have loved to tell Wayne that I felt that way about this chapter.

I wish I'd read this story five years ago so I could have told Wayne he was off to another great start with this story.

The earliest known use of "prude" as a noun was in 1676, in the writing of George Etherege, a diplomat and playwright. The earliest known use of "prude" as a verb was in 1736, in the writing of Richard Savage, a poet and playwright. The word "prude" comes from the French word prudefemme, which means "good woman", so it makes me wonder how it evolved into its current meaning. Prudefemme is the feminine version of prud'homme, which means "good man and true".

Cassie, this story was more hard hitting and dramatic that what I was expecting, and extremely sad. I can only reiterate some of the same things the others have already said, but I have a few questions. If everyone turned on Jack like that for what he did, how are they going to treat Damon and Will, since they're obviously a gay couple? And will any of this get back to Michigan and possibly cause the University to withdraw his track scholarship? Will Jack be able to get back to his house to sneak out his clothes, or get his mom to bring them somewhere that he can pick them up, since he has no money and can't afford more? And if I was Will, I'd be worried about staying with Daman, because I'd be thinking Damon might do something even worse to him if he and Damon have a major fight or disagreement. Now that he's seen Damon's dark side, I'd always have a nagging feeling at the back of my mind that Damon might do something far worse than that with me. There's a lot of disappoint to spread around in the way everyone either took part in what happened or reacted to it, and it does shine a very positive light or offer much hope about a large segment of the population in general.

I'm glad he finally broke up with Alyssa, but he waited far too long. First of all, he should have done it after what happened at the coffee shop when he had Damon and Alyssa meet. Then, he should have done it when Damon came to the house looking for a place to stay. Jack should have also dropped her when she stopped him from going up to Damon and speaking to him as he was resting under the tree at lunchtime. But he finally did it when he had a shot at teaming up with the vixen and possibly getting some nookie. I truly hope that Jack can finally patch things up with Damon.

Cassie, I'm enjoying your story, but Jack is so fucking thick. First of all, when Alyssa didn't heed his warning about bringing up the Bible when he had her meet Damon, he should have realized it wasn't going to work. He would be better off trying to hook up with another girl that wasn't as aggressive and opinionated so he could keep his friendship with Damn. And Jack's father and Claude (Damon's mom's bf) seem to have a lot in common, so if I is Jack smart he'll find a way to get out of that house as quickly as possible. First, by going to college, and as soon as he graduates getting a job far away from there. I'm happy to see that Jack is finally beginning to realize that he not only has a friendship with Damon, but also an attraction to him. And seeing he won't be having any fun with Alyssa if he doesn't dump her, he could still have the option of Damon. Maybe that will eventually work out better.

Yes, a great start, Cassie, and I can't wait to read the next chapter. You've got so many different ways you can go with this and I want to see where it leads. Kudos.

For those of you that enjoy mythology, take a look at this modern story that gives an interesting glimpse at a mythical classical Greek city, He Kalliste, and its relationship with the Pantheon of Greek gods. The story is well-written and an easy read, which I believe you'll enjoy.

As always, Adi, I'm late to the party and just found this story. Being a history lover, I found this modern Greek mythology quite enjoyable and very descriptive. Thank you for sharing this.
