Thanks for the excellent. I chose Corpus based on my initial research for cities with only 25,000 people. Kingsville is a suburb of Corpus Christi. It being on the coast was a convenient coincidence and actually helped me determine what Peter's skill would be. FYI, referring to the city as Corpus is apparently how the locals do it, so I jumped on that bandwagon.
No, I haven't had to deal with a severe hurricane. I'm pretty far inland, about an hour north of Atlanta. Heavy rains and moderately high winds are all I've seen so far.
Well, this is fiction, and science fiction at that, taking place thirty years in the future.
Clamoring is right. But will he leave, will he stay? Who knows? Oh, wait. I do. And @Sherye Story Reader, my Beta Reader.
Of course.
You don't really want me to use my imagination, do you? Your friend may retroactively be arrested for use of excessive sarcasm. A similar thing happened to me. My older daughter was probably eight or ten. The local station came to the town park asking kids and their parents what they thought about Sesame Street dropping Cookie Monster. Unfortunately, it did air our segment. What a dork I was.
Awesome. I'll have to take a look at that one when I finish the rest of the parts. I wouldn't want Robin's MC's psionic ideas to sway my character's abilities.
I sure can make them twisted. These might have been my nastiest antagonists. Although I think Uncle Marco from 'Don't Blame the Band' is right there in the world of nastiness.
No worries. And I just checked, there are actually 5 stories on the site that are longer than all of mine put together. Three are over a million words. That's a minimum 4,000-page book if it were published on paper.
Wow. Thanks. I try to add a little of a lot of things to help keep it interesting. Since you just finished this one, you should probably go right to the sequel: The Taft Family’s Before and After. May as well get the other sides of the story. I happened to like doing that, so I'm in the middle of the third of five parts of another series, again, different views of each of the main character's family. Part 1 is 'The Black Aura.'
The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

Tony drove up route 35 until we hit the town limits. At that point, I hoped one of them knew where we could go, "Do either of you know anything about the area? Because I sure don't."
"Nope." "Same here."
"Okay, let's just go through once on the man d
Glad you found and enjoyed this. There’s plenty more to read. I’m working on story #29, and have 725,000 words here. I hope you like what you find and read next as well.
A very nice ending. And they all lived happily ever after. Until they didn’t.
And I think your Beta Reader misses a big one for you. I’ve noticed this in your comments too:
This should be “their brothers.” I know it’s picky, but I think as a fellow writer, you’ll appreciate the hint to make your writing better.
As homonyms, the words there, their, and they're are all pronounced exactly the same but have different and distinct meanings. There means “at that place” and is used to talk about a specific location. Their indicates ownership and is the possessive form of they.
I found the Anderson twins. And I guess that answers my question in the previous chapter.
I hope the epilogue is 4 or 5 chapters. This wad too good to be so short!
