Thanks for the feedback, Aditus. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure the scars seemed to shrink as they grew, although the boys' memory of them never changed.

I'm not sure I understood this one. Obviously his wife had broken their vows, but did she cripple or kill their child? Or did he blame his child's condition on her dishonoring him? I feel his pain, I just can't quite define it. I also apologize for the multi posts to the last poem. Not sure if it was my computer of the site that caused the problem.

Have you been hanging around Wes Craven? What images. When you lose everything you love, what is left? Very moving.

What a lovely tribute to those who fought and died in the Great War. Who's to say that there wasn't a real Owen who suffered in similar ways, for we know there were a great many like Todd and the other men from the village that never returned? When I was growing up, I worked on my next door neighbor's farm. He fought in World War I and suffered from 'shell shock', which we now refer to as PTSD. Although he wasn't gay, I'm certain he would have been honored by your thoughts and tribute.

I was intrigued to see how I, um I mean Bill, solved the problem and captured the prize. Interesting read, Wayne. Very detailed and kept me captivated from beginning to end.

Renee, a very enjoyable and sweet tale. I liked the different take you had on the theme and how your characters made a 'real' family tree. After spending a good portion of the beginning of this year tracing my own family tree, it had special meaning for me. Great job and I truly enjoyed it.

Wayne, a very moving story. There are a lot of bastards in the world and, unfortunately, Ron ran into more than his share. It's bad enough to have a father like that, but then to follow it up with two lovers that abused him as well, I felt badly for Ron. The poor kid needed a break - and not a broken arm either. Powerful and well done.

Scars Upon the Mountain Top
Bill W commented on DynoReads's story chapter in Scars Upon the Mountain Top
Beautifully written and very poignant. Natural disasters can be devastating, but you have shown that from the ashes rises hope and life. Well done! -
Thanks, Wayne. Yes, each of my stories took the theme in a different direction, although I feel this is the most impportant. If those in power fail to take this seriously and act, future generations are going to pay the price for their inaction.

Thanks, Wayne. Even non-teachers wonder how those they've come into contact with throughout life have fared and if they'd touched those individuals in a meaningful way. With teachers, however, I feel there is an even greater impulse to do this and evaluate if they'd made a lasting impact or if they'd somehow failed certain students.

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.
