    @Paladin I'm sure they'll get rescued 🙂

    @weinerdog so, I have another story that is partly written, where the main character ends up in the porn industry for a while. I guess I'll have to ask @Summerabbacat for permission to use those names! I hope he doesn't ask for an outrageous royalty fee! lol

    Hmmmm... I had better start taking some notes!

    Yep. Still Monday. I usually set them up to post just after midnight, so today's was only about 14 hours late. At least I managed to still get it done Monday! 😁 Enjoy!

    -- Chapter Six -- The old mine was apparently called The Good Charlotte, reportedly named after the wife of the first owner. Our ranger friend took great delight in telling us that Charlotte wasn’t good to him after all, with the miner, one Clancy Roberts, going broke while working the mine, losing it in a poker game and then having his wife, Charlotte, run off with his best friend. The second owner did considerably better however, soon striking the rich vein that Clancy had been conv

    Given that it may well be 48 hours plus without power I suspect that the contents of the Tucker Box freezer will be a lost cause 😭😭😭 NOT HAPPY JAN!

    Thank you!

    @Paladin I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we would love to hear those stories! I used enjoy my weekly trips on the old red rattlers when I first moved away for work at 18 and used to travel back and forth each weekend. Met some interesting folks 🙂 MP

    Hey everyone. Just a heads up that the next chapter might be slightly delayed, thanks to the biggest snowfall here since 1984. We have trees and branches down everywhere and haven't had power in about 30 hours, and it's not expected back on until "sometimes" tomorrow, so unfortunately I can't get onto my PC to upload it. I promise I'll get it done at the first available opportunity. Apologies for the inconvenience!!! 😥😥😥

    @Summerabbacat hmmmmm..... I guess you'll have to wait until Monday to find out now..... 😉

    -- Chapter Five -- I wasn't sure what time it was, but I had been lying awake for what seemed like hours, unable to sleep. I had been hoping I might have been able to get my rocks off again so that I might have been able to finally go to sleep, but it wasn’t to be. The silence stretched out, interspersed only by the quiet snores coming from the next room. 'JJ . . . are you awake?' I heard Pete whisper into the darkness a little while later. I froze. 'No,' I replied after a

    @Summerabbacat and others. Perhaps you might like to see my AI created vision of JJ and Dallas. It's kind of close enough to what I had in mind ... though you may notice JJ's appearance is slightly different to what was described ... that'll be explained later ! 😋

    - Chapter Four - We had been told by Spills and Birdie to have our gear packed away and be back at the mess hall within the hour, so that we could be briefed before starting the first part of our lessons for the two days we would be here. Today we would be looking at the history of the place, while tomorrow the plans were to visit one of the few old mines that were still in good enough order for us to be able to enter and explore. Pete and I met up with Merry and her roomie, a gir

    @Summerabbacat "perhaps some brumbies will emerge from the National Park and kick some serious arse" ... now why didn't I think of that? LOL And I'm loving the deep thought that ALL you guys are putting into this!!!

    - Chapter Three - Having survived my first day at school following my disgrace I went there the next day feeling a little more confident within myself, although still not exactly feeling as if I were totally ten foot tall and bulletproof . . . at least not yet. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling at least some nerves, but when all things were considered what could happen to me, really? Maybe they would call me names, which they had done all day yesterday anyhow! Maybe they coul

    @Summerabbacat amen, brother!

    - Chapter Two - I guess there are worse fates than being stuck in the library at lunchtime for your own protection, but right at this moment I was having difficulty thinking what they might be. As promised, my personal security deployment saw me safely to the library door shortly after the lunch bell rang, and that was where I stayed for the duration, with only Rosie, the Assistant Librarian, and a couple of uber-geek kids to keep me company. I had a feeling that, somehow, I was going

    @Paladin oh yes! Their track record is well known everywhere!

    @Paladin a good point you raised. I started writing it about 2012, and while many Catholic institutions may have had "policies" about these things, I am sure that some are slightly more liberal than others. I seem to recall a teacher at my Catholic high school who by today's measure would be class as camp, but perhaps they had a 'don't ask, don't tell' kind of policy.

    @VBlew it has been posted elsewhere previously, and it had a revision a couple of years back when I wrote the second half of it and completed the story. I'm just working on posting all my earlier stories to GA now. MP

    @flesco thank you so much for your very kind words!

    Ahhh @Summerabbacat thank you! You never fail to disappoint! ❤️

    - Chapter One - Okay, so it’s Monday morning and I’ve made it through another weekend. I’m not sure if that’s actually a good thing yet or not, because this one was a close call. A very close call as a matter of fact. If I’d had a convenient cliff on Saturday afternoon, or perhaps if a nice deep crevice had opened in the ground beneath me, well maybe things might have been different. In fact, things might have been very different, and I might not be now walking toward my first period o
