Thank you. I am posting them every second day. Mark

I feel almost certain that Killian's mum will have his back. She loves her son unconditionally, I feel... even if she may just need a little time to adjust. As for the tyrant father, well I don't think we'll be in for any surprises when he eventually finds out the truth about his son. And as for the killer... just please don't let it be Asher! 🤔

When Danny had finished telling Jake everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, from finding his stepfather at home when he got there himself yesterday, to being caught in the shed, then to what had happened today when he had arrived home, he could see a frown etched across the forehead of his new friend. ‘I can’t believe it,’ Jake eventually said. ‘But I’m telling the truth,’ Danny quickly blurted out. ‘Oh, mate, I believe you . . . I just can’t believe how any f

Well @Ivor Slipper let me ask this ... if you were 16 years old and secretly came up with some cash would you tell your parents about it!

Age of consent was only lowered to 16 in the early 2000s in NSW.

The first thing Jake and Danny heard that told them Nate had returned from the beach, was an extremely loud cry of, ‘You rotten pair of bastards! Where the fuck are they?’ The next thing they heard was the sound of Nate cursing as he hot-footed it over the scalding sand, coming towards the canvas shade where they were still sitting. When they looked up, they noticed a naked Nate standing at the entrance to the camp in all his glory, except for the fact his hands were trying to cover his ma

Thanks guys! All great memories from my childhood! Another moving song that had a revival around then, though totally unrelated to the above, was "Tell Laura I Love Her" ... introduced to me by my neighbours Steven and Warwick (RIP). Not sure when that had actually been a hot (late 60s maybe) but around '73 was when I fell in love with that sad tale.

@Gary L @Talo Segura thank you both for your very kind words!

The boys enjoyed their morning with Jake, who produced the promised beers, which he and Nate sipped, while Danny selected a Coca-Cola. They were given a good look at the car, got to stick their head under the bonnet and inspect the 253v-8 motor and all its chromed bits and bobs, sit behind the wheel in the soft bucket seats with the motor purring, then put their foot down hard-on the accelerator, which deafened them. The plumes of dust billowing out from behind the van, obviously churned up by t

Spot on! And Thank You! I have no idea what our original colour tv format was here in Oz, but I do remember that I was 13 years old when we got ours just a few weeks to the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and watching the equestrian events simply blew me away. It was magnificent!

Thank you 😊

They found Pat and Thomas down by the beach later that afternoon and suddenly their friends wanted to know everything they could find out about Jake, despite the fact they had scurried away at the first sighting of him earlier in the day. Nate and Danny were ready for them, however, as they knew that their families would be trying to extract as much information as they could. It was Danny who came up with a plan to throw them off the scent, with a suggestion that they tell their friends Ja

@Summerabbacat oh yes, it was a part of our curriculum, but I have to admit that it wasn't exactly one of my favourites. lol

@Talo Segura thank you

It wouldn’t be until a few days after his set-to with his mother that Danny would speak with Jake again. He had seen him from a distance a few times on previous days as Jake had surfed the breaks off the main beach, and he had marveled at Jake’s skill as he ducked and dived and danced across the breaking waves. He had marveled too, at the beauty of the young man, as if he were now noticing the beauty of the male body for the very first time. On this day, Danny had been sitting on the dunes

I didn't have a Sandman, but I did have a brown XY Ford ute, which was almost as much fun at the drive in ... on summer nights at least! 😋

Oh, wow! That should drum up some business! LOL Thank you!

The boys heard the sound of the vehicle long before they saw it. The deep, throaty, burble of the v-8 motor reverberated around the township, the sound bouncing off any solid surface, even before the vehicle itself had come around that last bend in the road before the shopping centre. 'Probably another tourist,' Danny remarked to Nate as they looked up from where they were sitting. 'Yeah, my guess is it’s some rich dick with two girlfriends and a bunch of surfboards strapped to the roo

For sixteen year old Danny Anderson life is about to change. School is out and summer is here and hanging with his friends is all he wants to do, but there are some things he just can't share with his best friend, Nate. And then a handsome young stranger, not much older than he is, arrives in town and his world is turned upside down. The summer was now turning into something he could only ever dream of as he begins a journey of self-discovery filled with new adventures and experiences, a new friendship and just a hint of danger.

Oh yes, Max and 99 and The Chief were a part of my childhood! Shame they had to sully those memories with that movie remake! lol

Here we go! A little Aussie culture from the past for youse all! and also not to mention . . .

Yes. Will just have to catch both on YouTube and refresh my memory tho. 😀

"Do you know who you're pickin'?' 'Nah! Who am I pickin'?' 'You just wait and you'll find out!' says Normie (was it Normie? LOL), which was followed by a screech of tyres! Haha ... Loved that song!!!

To everyone who has reacted to, or commented on this story, THANK YOU for your feedback!!! I have loved the conversations that have taken place and the questions that have been raised. In the first three stories in this series we have introduced to Matt and Luke, Scott and Justin, Tim and Guy, and Ben and Samantha. Moving forward, these characters will be the main players in the next three stories: Thompsonville, A Good Place, and Out of the Blue (which is currently in development). At the moment I am still working on the re-edits for T'ville, and it will take a little while to complete these, so while that is happening I will begin to post some other stories that are set in the T'ville universe, which I hope you will enjoy. Thanks again to everyone. You are the best bunch of readers a guy could have!!! ❤️❤️❤️

My head had barely hit the pillow it seemed, when I was being forcefully shaken awake. ‘What’s wrong?’ I cursed, without even knowing who it was that was doing the shaking. ‘It’s for you,’ my father rather grumpily said, thrusting the telephone into my hand. ‘It’s Ben’s mother.’ ‘What time is it?’ I asked. ‘Barely seven o’clock,’ he replied, then stormed out of my room and, presumably, back to his. I just stared after him for a moment or three, as my mind wrapped itself
