Lee Wilson

In the original story, it was mentioned the autopsy found dirt in his lungs. So though unconscious, he was buried alive. It was Georgia, specifically my town. There are million dollar houses, but 3 to 4 hundred thousand is a lot more common. I’d say they were more observant than Brandan realized.

It took three weeks before all of their schedules aligned for the reading of the will. Kathy and Abel sat on one side of the lawyer's office, Rich and Brendan on the other. An iceberg wouldn't have melted in the gap between them. Abel nodded to Rich, but that was the extent of their interaction. Brendan was right in assuming Kathy wouldn't have let him have his share of the inheritance. "Does HE need to be here?" The lawyer looked at her, confused, "Who?" "That one, the boy."

Keep up the good work. I too thought Gus has been in the system and graduated from the “I’m a throwaway person” attitude. The other three, I’m not sure of yet, but I think Josh likes Ben in a different way.

This is looking like an interesting ‘pull yourself up to a better station in life’ experience. Looking forward to more. Got a new author to follow now. Most of the rest are like, is it raining today? Maybe I’ll write a few sentences. (I kid, just a joke). I see you’re active again, so hopefully there won’t be long waits between chapters. By the way, I once tried to keep 3 stories going at once. It’s tough to do. Don’t fall into my trap and end one suddenly (and badly). Thought I was gonna get lynched.

You should read this story. It is truly a slice of life. A moment in time where two people come together due to circumstances thrust upon one of them. Well written and enjoyable finding out where it ends up.

I’d say good story, but it wasn’t really a story. It was a recounting of an actual event. “Ethan” was very lucky to have gotten you that night. I have to wonder what was really behind him being abandoned. That could be a whole story in itself, albeit truly fiction.

A little late to the party, but I liked it as well. My kingdom for an ass. Too funny. I was thinking the vice principal simply wanted to get a closer look at that ass.

I guess I was one of the confused ones, but I didn’t give up because I wanted to know how it turned out. Even now, I can’t tell whether Tyler was a man or a boy. If they found remains of two children in the ashes, it would make sense everyone thinking Nicholas had died in a fire. But if Tyler was chasing Nico through the woods, there was only one child’s body. There would have been articles about a missing Nico in the safe deposit box too. Tyler being a boy would make some sense at the time when Austin “remembered” seeing Reyansh with him. So, it feels incomplete to me. Like Austin never really found out the truth. Also, Reyansh seems to be quite a bit older than Austin, having a job vs. Austin still being in school (college?) It left me wanting more, but not in the sense of: It’s so good I want more of it.

When an idea comes, I will.

St first I thought ‘those two’ was going to refer to Brendan and Rich. Then I saw it wasn’t.

It’s possible to devolve from worthless lumps of humanity?

This is a wonderful story about two people coming together under somewhat unusual circumstances and making the best of it. Jay, or Jason, is confused about his sexual identity, but fortunately finds two people who help him in ways he never realized he needed.

Like Mancunian and Bill W, I don't know a lot about gender dysphoria, even though I wrote a story with that as a major plot point. I can understand how and why people feel that way, though. Just being bisexual is confusing enough for me, genderfluidity would send me running to my psychiatrist. Depression is enough to deal with. Regardless, it was a wonderful story about two people coming together under somewhat unusual circumstances and making the best of it. I was confused by Thirdly's comment on reading about Jay again. Does he appear in more of your stories?

Like this?

Had to balance the number of good players and bad players. The initial epilog tipped the scales over to good by Rich marrying his girlfriend Theresa, who had volunteered to be an ear for Jill.

Thanks much.

Make that chapter 8

Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Thanks. Why did I know a Timmy and Lassie gif would show up sometime?

I have some liquor, a couple bottles of beer. Good enough?

And we’re all glad you couldn’t.

Like was said in chapter 5, she turned into a nympho. That kind of satisfaction solves everything for her.

I've read chapter 8. You didn't take it as far as we all feared.

Okay, I'm caught up now, you can post chapter 9 😁 Another wonderful chapter. I hope, like the rest of your readers, that we don't have to wait another 526 days for the next one.

I'd be honored to help you out if you wish. This is an amazing story. I'm a year and half or so late to the party but seeing the most recent chapter being posted drew me in, and now, like Ty, I can't let go.

The snake is a garter snake. It can't swallow too much, and won't even get too much to swallow.
