Dan South

Peace and all good things to you, Samuel. My life is enriched by your presence and sharing. Be well!

I’m just a gay guy, a recovering Catholic from the Deep South, and I want to hug your neck so badly right now. Condemning anyone is outside of my self-nurtured nature but I’m really mad at Joseph Smith and his accomplices. I’ve backspaced out the rest of my rant about the LDS and, though you’ll likely never see this, I feel so proud of you.

I read this as the sun rose this morning. A joyful, hopeful short story to start the day! Great read.

Two boys and the farmer’s daughter? This will be interesting I’m sure!

Lucky Mark!

Definitely your best. I’m wrecked.

Commenting twice to love this again ❤️

I’m still on the edge of my seat with this. Fantastic.

The possibilities captivated me. This is enough.

I’ve found way here through the comments, I think. Pretty sure. Positive, but a quick ‘follow’ promises I won’t miss more, new. I’ve read ahead on this thread but knew if I was going to comment it should be here where my heart was really captured. Beautiful.

So familiar until Rene’s declaration. A real test of Jason’s resolve.

“No awkward conversations, no hesitation, just full and immediate acceptance and support, it’s what we needed to thrive.” That’s the way it should be, always, for everyone. Especially for the one who is still worth saving.

Nathan’s anger really rises off the page and so does Corey’s contrition. This beginning is wide open to go in any direction though I’m rooting for healing.

Uncharted. Unchanging. Unbreakable. Unifying. Spring. Thank you.

I binged this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Pretty remarkable evolution of life for all these young men. Beautiful!

Dark purpose? No need for it to be anything other than plain old purpose, right? I really like Sylas…

Yes please

I had to check the tags to confirm this is a coming-of-age story. Gotta love a brat. What’s next?

Sometimes a story, and a storyteller, help you reach a place deep inside yourself. Through written words a need for a serious internal inventory can arise. Consideration of the angles, the actions, the results. Live the tale as it’s told. I’m likely to ramble on about my consumption of and absolute love and adoration for Jericho’s Wall. It’s special. I will return to this story when I need to thoughtfully remember the past or simply need to be uplifted by love. Love in its many forms. I share so much of the past recounted on these pages but it doesn’t matter if you do. It’s timeless. If you experience this tale as I have let me assure you: you will laugh, you will cry, you will want more. You will learn to preserve. I’m deliberately not speaking to the characters or the plot because they’re yours to experience in your own way. They’re all so easy to love. It’s all about love.❤️

What a beautiful bow you tied on the amazing gift that this novel is. Thank you so much.

I had to save this to read it on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The right time, the right place to say farewell. I’ve already said I don’t want this story, this deeply moving story, to end. On to the epilogue. Thank you @Rusty Slocum. So much joy. So much life. The 10:20 was right on time.

‘Stories from Old Photographs’ has been a fantastic read. Thank you!

Shining a light on Deputy Jones for calling this what it is: “beyond remarkable”. Stellar speech by Tyler with a stellar result. Fingers crossed that the future is bright.

Not the best start to Bazzelthorpe’s pitch. Will a drunk death magician be more easily convinced? Carlos didn’t close the door on the future completely. There’s certainly enough pain to go around…
