NOLARE

Please explain this sentence. I am confused. What exactly did Ian plan? This wasn’t what he had planned, Alex putting Gael on a leash.

Wow, wow, wow. Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you’ve seemingly ended this amazing tale with someone being castrated. I do hope more (and continuing) stories are in the works.

Thank you for this amazing roller coaster ride of a story! Looking forward to the epilogue.

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that while you write about these unspeakable horrors I can’t stop reading. A quiet oohrah indeed.

Where are those Bounty paper towels? Thank you @empath and thank you @drsawzall

Like others the tissue industry is loving this story as I can personally attest to...my go-to product now is... indeed!

Simply another wow as I reach for yet more Kleenex. Life has been a roller coaster the last couple weeks — living in a former crime scene, family house in LA burned to the ground, best friend undergoing heart surgery — yet, somehow this harrowing tale comforts in an odd way. Again you live up to your handle @empath!

Dear @Philippe, while your summation of the chapter is thorough, would you please correct the misspelling of Oliver’s nickname. A grave injustice to the author and the incredible character he has created.

As a 20 year Marine Corps brat, I get it. And understand the wherewithal of getting things going. Kudos. And know the emotional aftermath. Many years of therapy have helped me understand who I am and especially how I handle difficult or uncomfortable situations. You have truly touched the “raw.”

The holidays are always fraught with familial brouhaha, but, wow, this roller coaster of an emotional ride doesn’t begin to compare! Dear @empath you have helped me realize how trivial my issues might be in the light of your amazing story. Holiday blessings to everyone.

Wow. You’ve done it again— a mesmerizing story from the horrors of abuse writ large. I shudder to think of what brought you here to write this and share it with us all.

@empath your moniker fits you and your writing well. While difficult to read at times, the story line, the heartbreaking and heroic characters, the anticipation all keep me glued to the screen. Thank you for this difficult and incredible story.

Gee my home is only 200 years old here in New Orleans. Got the roof and exterior waterproofing done. Now to repair the interiors. 5 years in the works.

May they always dance with the whales. Was curious about the title. Simply beautiful.

Oh you curmudgeon…
