Where is Jake’s brother?

Where is Jake’s brother?

Really super cute and hot story so far Comsi

I don’t know how I missed the recommendation on Observation earlier. Are there other works you’ve posted along A-Z’s lines that fit the genre? They don’t even have to be spin off stories. I’ll take entirely new worlds if I can find works written in this fashion of realism and relatable journeys.

I want to know what Norio’s extra is

Yep definitely Gerard Butler. And the Prince pompous is definitely Geoffrey from GOT.

Well shit. I would’ve loved to see the story in Japan before this story. Hint hint…buhahahaha.

Ok tease! More!!!!!

I have so many questions.., but I will read on in anticipation that they’ll be answered in time. Good start. I envision Elyan like a Gerard Butler or Russell Crow and his son like the boy Lucian in Gladiator

I’m the Irish mad man. It’s MY ISLAND

Exactly

Funny I was an Emt for 4 yrs, saw a lot and I found this while eating dinner. Didn’t even get queasy. In fact I went back for seconds and continued 😂. I’m not right in the head🤣🤣

FAFO. Fuck around and find out. These idiots just don’t get it

Mason is a little psycho

They never picked a song for their wedding reception that I remember anyway but I know one that I would’ve wanted if I were Zander to sing to Andy…

I won’t lie..I kinda wish I had that opportunity they had together. One can dream yes? Cheers.

Ok that was beautiful.

I must say this was the most enjoyable series I’ve read yet next to Comicality’s Gone From Daylight which is his Magnum Opus. It is a bit different with the whole vampire thing and frankly I hesitated initially because I’m not really into fantasy like that but he’s such a talented writer it really is worth the read. So shameless plug there. I will say however, this is a pretty damn close as well, I just wish it didn’t end lol. Alas, I’m waaaay past the age of dreaming at “Young Andrew’s” age at this point in my life but I must say it is nice to relate through your writing in your characters. So bravo.

And you’re welcome

Thanks for the referral and writing this piece. I truly enjoyed it I hope to find more like this. I love long love stories like these that are realistic and relatable.

I hat a finish. I loved it. I loved how it came full circle and they help out another child in the same boat. That it was an Anderson was a very nice touch. Great story

Well you did a pretty damn good job articulating it yourself so I’ll risk an assumption that perhaps you went through some of that yourself. For that, I truly am sorry and for anyone who has to go through that affliction. Because that’s what it is. An affliction more than a burden because to me, that pain never really truly goes away. You get numb to it from time to time, but it never really leaves. But thank you for recognizing my journey. Many times I feel like Andy…undeserving of much of anything and I find myself answering that unasked question of why. It’s because I didn’t resist or fight back when I should’ve. I have to keep reminding myself how old and innocent I was..like wtf did I know about narcissistic predators at 14? In our efforts to be accepted and still be ourselves, we make concessions and let’s face it, our choices of what we decide to accept suck. In that moment, in this story, in Andy, you portray it perfectly. It’s about survival. Andy’s character is amazing. Not all of us who, if put in his position especially in the basement with that chain, would’ve survived.

You’re very welcome. Yeah unfortunately like most folks who’ve been afflicted with PTSD and C-PTSD especially where there is verbal abuse, learning not to self hate is one of the hardest things to do because it is undoing a form of brain washing. It doesn’t happen overnight and if I’m being completely honest here, even though I’ve been through 5 yrs of therapy to um..get right, I STILL need a lot of affirmation. It’s soooo easy to slip back into darkness and self hatred is the worse and most dangerous of them. I’m not gonna lie, suicide has crossed my mind many times with one attempt but that was before I got help. The biggest thing someone can do who’s living in that darkness is simply to open up to someone who they can trust who they know loves them and is a good listener. It’s very very very difficult. The chapters so far where Andy slips in a flippant comment of a little self hate to himself feels out of the blue and random, well it ‘s not. It’s always there, in the back of your mind…like a splinter you can feel. Sometimes the pain if it becomes a false positive in that pain reminding you that you’re alive. It’s a fucked up mentality I know but it is what it is.
