What a tragic, young life. I hope he finds friendship...and maybe even love.

Here's hoping Kai will say yes to the dance date.

A delightful, well-written short tale. As has been noted, it would make an excellent introductory chapter to a much more developed and interesting yarn. It leaves the reader yearning for more, but fulfills its stated intention of being a one-off. The characters are fascinating, if a bit exaggerated, and the action builds to a climax that engenders smiles and hope.

It does sound like Pete has a secret, like the one that sexual abusers tell children to keep. I hope we're all wrong about that. It would certainly complicate Danny's exit plan if he had to confront his parents or talk to Sarge about it. Isn't this just how life fucks with you? Just when a way out seems to appear, it's snatched away and replaced by a ton of shit!

It's pretty clear why Jake is worried about escalating the war with Thommo. He is going home for Christmas--maybe sooner than he had planned.

What a brilliant plot twist! Introducing a white knight just when most needed is a hopeful resolution to the horror of the sexual violence, and it puts the story back on a lighter tack. Reminds me of Huckleberry Finn and other classic coming of age tales.

My favorite Mark Twain has always been The Prince and the Pauper. The 1937 movie version starring Erroll Flinn stills sets my heart a-flutter!

I can't remember the first book I read, nor how old I was, but I used to check out as many books as the library would allow, take them home, and tie a rope around them and hoist them up to a platform I had built in a tree next to the house. My little "reading room" was a haven all summer long. I think what started me on binge-reading was The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. When I learned that there were more in the series (many by other authors who carried on the tradition after Baum's early death), I was hooked. The library had to send for some of the books from other sites in order to fulfill my endless requests!

I'm so happy to see this new story. I don't know how I missed it earlier in the year.

I hoped you had as much fun in Vegas as Tom had/is having. More to come...

Coming soon to a device near you!

Thanks for the encouragement. More is on the way soon, and get ready for more unexpected leaps.

Thanks for all your help with the story (and the title). More about Tom is on the way, and I think you'll be surprised! Here's a hint:

The characters are angels, demons, and those undefined beings from the Hebrew scriptures, the Nephilim. While there is no definitive theological explanation for them, the author follows a brief passage in Genesis and suggests that they are the offspring of angels and humans, and that their descendants still exist and live among us. Hence, our protagonist. Add in supernatural powers, immortality, relentless pursuit by angels who want to destroy him, and finding himself in the hotbed of demons, Sin City, and you have the ingredients for a delightful and erotic story--one which cries out for more episodes and adventures. Well worth the read, but be sure to leave the author a comment begging for more!
