Thanks for the feedback, Wayne. Life gives us so many little trials that leave scars, but in this case they just wove together into a happy ending.

Thanks for the feedback, Lisa. It was a fun story to write and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the feedback, Rebelghost, and I'm glad you enjoyed this little tale.

Thanks for the feedback, Yettie One. I'm glad you enjoyed it and were impressed by how their little scars led to a lifetime of happiness.

Thanks for the feedback, Cia. While reading his jornal, Mr. Ross felt his better students prospered and did well, but he had nagging doubts about these few and wondered if he could have done more to help them. It was those that were scarred that gave him the most doubts about his effectiveness.

Thanks for the feedback, Yetti One. This is a problem future generations may face, if we don't do something about it now.

Thanks for the feedback, Jo Ann. I felt this was something that needed to be explored.

I met Stone the summer before entering fourth grade. My family had just purchased a house in another neighborhood, which was on the other side of town from where we used to live. I didn't want to move and was devastated that I would have to leave all of my friends and classmates behind. It was one of the worst nightmares that someone my age would ever have to go through. Almost as soon as the movers finished taking the last items out of the moving van and had placed everything in the house,

The Severe Climate Awareness and Relocation Services unit, S.C.A.R.S. for short, was founded in 2043 and charged with relocating individuals and families living in areas that were most affected by the rising sea level. Those working for the agency were assigned to assist the communities that were becoming inundated with salt water and where the homes and businesses were slowly being reclaimed by nature. This meant there were regional offices situated all along the east coast, west coast, Gulf

My name is Bob Ross and I'll be retiring as a teacher when the school year ends. In preparation for this, I began removing the personal items from my classroom that I had collected over the years and took them home. As I stored them in my den, I spotted several dusty, old journals sitting forgotten on one of the shelves. In them were recorded my memories of the classes I'd taught over the years. Like any educator, we tend to take notice of the good students, as well as those we've had proble

The Severe Climate Awareness and Relocation Services agency, S.C.A.R.S. for short, was founded in 2043. Charlie went to work for them 50 years later and will assist those living in areas adversely affected by the extreme changes to relocate. Since this is such a major undertaking, Charlie questions how they are going to accomplish this and why previous generations hadn't done more to prevent it from getting to this point.

Bob Ross is a teacher nearing retirement. A sentimental moment has him reading the journals he'd kept during his long career and causes him to remember some of his former students. It also makes him wonder if he could have done more to help some of them.

Jeremy was miserable when his family decided to move across town to another neighborhood, but his mood changed when he met his new neighbor, Stone. Will they form a friendship that will last through high school and beyond, or will it end with a trip to the emergency room?

Welocme to GA and have fun in chat/

You will follow them throughout this story. Thanks for the feedback.

As I did for the prologue, I will put warnings on the other chapters readers may find disturbing.

Yes, the prologue was graphic, hence the warning, but it settles down after that. I hope you continue reading and enjoy it.

The boys were escorted from the king’s quarters and taken directly to the royal stables. Prior to their arrival a coach had been prepared for their use and now stood waiting for them. It was a magnificent carriage, drawn by four mighty steeds, and was apparently one of the king’s personal fleet. After inspecting this magnificent vehicle further, the boys decided it must be one of the carriages used for public ceremonies or for when the king and the queen were traveling. This time, however, i

Hollywood might be reacting to the lower ticket sales recently. If people aren't going to the movies, why make so many, especially if they can't make a lot of money off them. What they fail to realize is people aren't going because most movies suck.

Happy Birthday, Conner. Hope it's a great one!

I saw Trebs listed under the birthdays and just had one thought. He may be gone, but not forgotten.

Was he on a caffeine high or what? lol

The musical or just cats in general?

I don't believe people are born to hate and much of it is learned from watching and listening to those closest to them, especially in the formative years. It may also be formed through negative interactions with certain people or groups as the person is growing up. Therefore, anything learned can be altered, not quite the same as being unlearned, but I think that depends on how deeply ingrained the hatred is. I believe the earlier one learns to hate something or someone, including groups, and the longer that belief is held, the harder it is to convince the person his belief is wrong. Such intervention would have to be done when the individual is younger or would take place closer to the time the hatred was formed in order to be effective. The longer that belief is held, the more difficult it will be to change it, unless something drastic or radical occurs. .
