  1. Hmmm, I'm going to have to think about that one. I was not planning on having him be a victim of that, but I have a reason why not floating around in my evil mind.
  2. The good characters are very good, the bad ones, um, yeah.
  3. Definitely something I will address in the future. Another item with coverage at a later date. I have to consider exactly what I will do to them. I've had a couple similar scenarios in at least one other story. I don't want to repeat myself. But I'm sure you know, they're not getting off with a slap on the wrist.
  4. Yikes! I might have to skip the chapter with Jill's story. You guys will show up at my house with pitchforks and torches. Although I do have to say, all your reactions are spot on.
  5. With manure being the material used to bury her?
  6. Yeah, that about says it all.
  7. After a long lunch, allowing the boys some time in the play area, Brendan took the kids to look at the house. It was roughly halfway between his and the kids’ house. One thing he wondered about was how Nick could run, and walk, for most of two days between the two houses. It would probably have taken him less than two hours. When he asked Nick about it, Nick simply said he walked around in circles a lot. Further interrogation would wait, but Brendan thought it was more than that. The house

    No, you’re wrong. The tornado picks up her house but leaves her behind because she’s too damn fat!

    Chapter 28 S2

    It’s odd. I think of this chapter as a storm in the calm before a storm. A fairly tame chapter, the calm before a storm, but it had its own storm. Luella: Petty Plump Pimpled Blimp
  10. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise about the type of abuse. I was holding onto to that for a bit, but you all are too smart. My feeling on the stuttering wasn't that it was related to any abuse, but as @Summerabbacat indicates, the head strikes could lead to something else. But will it? I'll agree that Nick's abuse has been the least brutal. A revelation in chapter 4 may cause a change of opinion on the psychological part. Complicity will go to the wayside in chapter 4 as well. Thanks. As with most criminals, they have to rot in jail for a long period sometimes even waiting for trial.
  11. All possibilities. Further details forthcoming on some of this. Not so far along that I can’t address others that I haven’t yet. Agreed about returning them ‘home.’ It’ll be a fresh start for all them.
  12. That is my hope as well.

    Chapter 1

    A sad story, but life is often sad. Another song I think describes Carver:
  14. Nope. Again, reasons will be provided at a later date. Hey, I had something to do with that too, you know! 😁 As it should.
  15. I can imagine there are CPS horror stories from all over the place. I only made them a little bad. They're not the true villains of this story. And I already mentioned Steve's mouth getting taped when he stuttered too much. I guess I wasn't subtle enough about Jill's treatment. But so far, it's just speculation. As I said above, there's more on that in a few chapters. I'm happy you think it's excellent. Maybe I'll keep doing this for a while. I'm already inside the top 100 authors by total word count. Onward and upward!!
  16. And a perfectly valid worry it is.
  17. Damn, another one that's been peeking at my manuscript. Horrors, yes, bailing out, hmmmm. Although, I suppose what sooner might be, definitely not the next few chapters, anyway.
  18. I've even included a horror story about CPS. I'm not hitting them hard this time, aside from being understaffed and taking shortcuts, that actually benefit our main characters.
  19. We're taking an old military position on that one, Don't Ask, Don't Tell. But I will say there will be a twist later with respect to that situation.
  20. You'll hear a little more about Nick and Steven's stories in the next chapter. Like @weinerdog's school question, Jill's story is a bit of a longer wait.
  21. In this case, I made it go fast due to the excuse they're understaffed. I honestly don't know exactly how it may or may not work. A little research, a lot of imagination. I think you can already tell things get moving quickly by the next chapter title.
  22. I kind of pictured all the kids with dark hair. I don't think I've given them any specific physical attributes.
  23. It was Steve's stuttering. Nope, it isn't that, but you'll have to wait a couple chapters for the answer. Probably legal, but I don't think it's going to go that way.
  24. You're welcome. I think it slows down a little for the next couple chapters. Still lots happening though.
