This chapter added to my suspicions that Peter's dreams may reveal more information about his past experiences of modeling in NYC, that his mind maybe hiding or blocking from the past. I am just happy to know that Marty is along there with him! We shall see what may transpire during this trip. I just am feeling somewhat uneasy about this, and possibly wrong.

I assume that we readers will also be included on these unique Hawaiian adventures.

John has bought the house of his long held dreams, and three artists celebrate the purchase of their new home, along with Ethan's birthday! What project will be next on their agenda when they return back to Riverside Haven? So many future changes appear to be ahead of them right now! 🤔

@Griz shares his own unique perspective to his thoughtful and fun look into gay life, and relationships from his rural Montana location. I felt it was a very heartfelt short story! He has his own style of story telling that you need to read, to truly appreciate his wit, wisdom and caring nature. This is his first story at Gay Authors, but he has written elsewhere on the web. Happy he is now sharing his talents with us here, and I am looking forward to more, from this new to GA author!

Welcome to GA, and I am very happy to have you join us! I have enjoyed your unique voice in story telling on another site, and look forward to anything you want to share with us here. This was another insightful look into a rural farm/ranch Montana gay relationship, told in your own style, which I really enjoy reading. It was an excellent short story❣️

I can understand what Marty is experiencing and the reactions he displayed, due to his past attack. But what previous trauma is Peter reliving in his dreams? Does it have a connection to something that happened from his past modeling jobs, that causes panic, and his vivid nightmares that he cannot seem to remember when he wakes up? Are they both suffering from traumatic past memories? ☹️

The Drop In Centre 3
Flip-Flop replied to Mikiesboy's topic in Mikiesboy's Drop in Centre's Mikieboy's Topics
I love having meal leftovers options. I use my microwave often, but not for basic cooking. Many foods develop better flavor after sitting in the fridge overnight. We have never used those covers. I was surprised by all the different options. prices, and alternatives that a Google search produced! They also said it was OK to use foil in the microwave? I've always thought that was a big no, no! 😕 -
Yes, I also am interested in learning much more about what Carl's motives may include? Looking forward to see what he may be thinking, and his somewhat generous offer. Is he teacher, a watcher, or someone much more complex than his past actions have revealed to us? 🤔

Wow 4 million dollars sounds like a real bargain, compared to what that property would cost in today's economy! Your own love and knowledge of Hawaii is apparent in this chapter. This house makes their stateside home, while still very lovely, but also seems too small for them all. 🤔 This "HOME" would make the perfect new future home base for them, with plenty of room for visiting guests. So much appears to be happening, in your story right now. 😁

The boys with the fish returned to Ohio after a safe trip, and to a very warm welcome from the dads. Angie will fly in later, when her school lets out for the summer. I had thought that they had already secured their summer jobs, but Marty is still looking. Will they each be involved in some form of modeling job, but in very different types of modeling? 😁 This could be a very interesting summer for everyone involved at the Kovar home. I also expect there will be quite a few surprises and drama along the way!

The Drop In Centre 3

I would smile too, if we could get some rain! Our lack of rain continues. Since August 1 we only had less than three tenth of an inch of rain, spread over 46 days! It has been extremely dry, and not really any foretasted for our next week.or longer. ☹️ -
I had the same question or thought, upon reading the last three chapters. Elias, the doctor. was the most important person in their lives and romantic actions previously, and has not been seen, or even mentioned, for the last 2 chapters? The time jump and the addition of Eric in John and Ethan's lives, seems to have changed that situation? 🤔 I am also very saddened to hear about all of your current difficulties. 😥

Happy to learn that all three will be spending their summer at Peters' house with his Dads, and very close to his other family members. Summer employment has already been secured in advance for all three. I am curious about any developments or communications coming from Marty's mother, concerning their avoidance of her home. Pete and Marty have shared an apartment for many months, and their bond continued to grow much stronger. What's new with Angela and Todd? It should be an interesting summer break for them, being back in Ohio❣️ We shall soon find out, just how interesting it could become. .

I love the adventures that you kindly share with us! Sarcasm can be seen as an art-form (at least by me), and you have learned to master it extremely well❣️ Your writings and humor are a pure delight to read, and yes, I also love watching your excellent productions. Short stories are not so easy to pull off, but you leave me always wanting more. I really enjoyed this visit to Paris, The City Of "expensive and crushing" Love!

Introduced in chapter 5: ;

Excellent chapter, that was filled with emotions, concerns, and support. The four maturing young people are trying to deal with the many issues they face now, and moving forward. Daniel realizes that counseling could help to put him in a better way to understand the issues that he has due to his past traumas, and also in his current situations. We will learn what news Inspector Lawson deemed as important! My fingers are crossed in concern as to what information he could reveal, as to any of the ongoing case possible new developments. 🤔
-
I loved the story about Bik and his ploys with the girls in his class! A great "meet the Kovar family' experience was shared with the new additions of Marty and his sister Angela. Family bonds, traditions, and caring relationships were all on full display, in this chapter. Well done.
-
Wow ,time passed quickly in this chapter! Their studio was stocked with what the two deemed as essentials to them. Erik will be an interesting addition to the mix, and no doubt we will get art insights, right along with him! With the barn up and running, they are in need of some trusted help back at the house. Things will become very busy with their future art studio/gallery projects❣️

A Graceful Exit / Epilogue
Flip-Flop commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in A Graceful Exit / Epilogue
These poor people unknowingly had no idea of the havoc that Marie-Louise would bring into their home, and other's lives. They at least ensured that her child would be adopted into a home away from any of her further influence upon his life. They may always question the outcomes that followed that decision. 🤔 Was there a better possible decision available to them? They and we, will never know. I am happy upon learning the various outcomes of the many other characters. ML's ending was a result of her own actions and decisions. Was anyone able to change her fate, besides herself? 😢 -
The Tale of Two Little Reeds - Seventh Scroll
Flip-Flop commented on Page Scrawler's story chapter in The Tale of Two Little Reeds - Seventh Scroll
Jaren and Ailin are such sensitive and lovable characters, and they are trying to adjust to their new surroundings, while still struggling with past fears, and unpleasant memories. They are becoming more comfortable in the city and their shared love, and a desire to share a closeness needs to be released, despite past fears. The Twins Stars Festival gave them a peak into how mutual caring could be shown in their day to day lives. They also deserve to feel and share a loving touch and casual but important expressions with each other. This chapter just felt so right to me. 💖 -
Happy to see Linda and Joe popped by for a surprise visit, and were able to give the guest room a trail run, It sounds beautiful and will come in handy in cases such as this. I'm sure they will say it was just "perfect" for them! Their focus is now turning towards the barn reconstruction. John's dreams are now becoming his and Ethan's new reality. 👨❤️👨

The Aftermath, Or, Nelson Hears the Truth
Flip-Flop commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The Aftermath, Or, Nelson Hears the Truth
This may be an understatement. Looking forward to learning what @Lee Wilson believes "A Graceful Exit" could possibly be, from this hodgepodge of loose ends! 🤔 Or is the "graceful exit" title just being used to describe his own departure from this tale? This will surely will be a very interesting Epilogue to read! -
This chapter was well written and I really loved the interactions among your various characters. Everyone is very sincere and caring, Angela's emotional talk with Peter about Marty's past sexual abuse/attack, and their family dynamics and reactions to the rape and beating, was shocking to Peter. This was well expressed, and the effect it had on Marty's well being was life changing. Angela felt Peter needed to understand, just how vulnerable Marty could be in their ongoing relationship. This was a highly emotional chapter, and I want to for sharing your stories with us.

This story has complex characters and it may take awhile before any real understanding of what are the true motivations behind their actions can totally be understood. This fact reminds me again of the warning given in the first paragraph of chapter 1. I do have some opinions, but will let the actions of these young men play out just a little more. I'm sure that impulse will be very difficult to keep under control! And what fun is that, in a story that evokes reactions. Maybe I will be patient, and also vocal?

The Verdict and One More Problem
Flip-Flop commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The Verdict and One More Problem
The judge had an obligation to protect the public at large, and has turned that responsibility over to the state's mental health professionals to decide how best to deal with Ed's mental problems. His order was very well worded. If they thought that Ed remained a threat to others, they could keep him in treatment for months/years/life, until he could be safely released back into the community. They will make their own assessments of Ed's mental conditions, and what his treatment in this case should require. Marie Louise continued with what she is known by the readers for, using one and all, to satisfy her own self crazed interests. That reality has finally became obvious to Nelson!
