Curing Humanity is a unique story that looks at both preserving and reclaiming one’s humanity. Will the benefits prove to be greater than the costs?

Ugh, that line had me tied in knots!

The disappearance of Wren’s father is way too suspicious. Does anyone else suspect his brothers? They are, after all, nasty enough. Seriously, the only one with a heart would abandon his family? Nah, don't believe it for a second.

Painfully beautiful. That black dog just refuses to stay away, leaving those in the fight feeling exactly like prey. What an amazing gift you have.

Oh tim, I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time. It’s exhausting trying to explain to others the tiredness that comes with depression. Even others with milder forms don’t get it. Sending with this is a warm, gentle hug, wishes for relief, and brighter days. There are so many of us who fight this battle. Just reading your words brought a breath of relief, knowing someone understands that kind of tiredness.

You should still be here is a heart-wrenching letter written in remembrance of a soul lost to war.

Will Riley be able to survive his missing boss’s monstrous mentor—a sociopath with a taste for precision and an even bigger secret? Once again, young Riley is faced with staying alive.

Comic relief in this story is fantastic! I’m going to have to borrow this phrase; I will refer back to it at a later date, for someone in particular who annoys the s.... 🤣

Following the traumatic events in his university days, with the love and strong support of the man he loves, his friends, and family, Hunter has not only survived but flourished. In the opening of Fourth Down: Second Quarter, we witness Hunter and Dale, along with their children, moving forward in life, settling into a new home and a new town, surrounded by the tight-knit family of choice they’ve created. As new friends are welcomed into their circle, they come together to celebrate their reunion and the next chapter of their lives. Trouble lies ahead, though, as they face new challenges and forces intent on destroying their lives.

Fourth Down is the story of Hunter McIntosh, his university team’s star quarterback, who was, by all appearances, living the dream. Accomplished in athletics, physically fit, well-liked, and respected by students and his coach alike, vanished one day. Unknown to family and close friends, Hunter had a secret discovered by the wrong person, leading to a sequence of life-threatening traumatic events. His whereabouts unknown, would anyone discover what had happened to him? Could he be found in time, or be left to perish?

Hmm, Mayson... must have been and probably cursing Karma as a real bitch. She should have gone fully loaded with the scumbags’ legs, not the only appendages he lost. Excellent, having Dale overhear that conversation. It’ll be interesting to see how Hunter’s friends react to that bit of news. As for Olivia, she absolutely must be history.

Let Them Eat Cake! is the story of a young man driven to the streets in a secret quest. Will he find what he seeks, and what exactly is he looking for? What is shared is heart-wrenching; however, readers will not be disappointed.

A New Trek is a charming little story of a boy who has withdrawn from others without understanding why. His mom tried to help him, but to no avail. Will something or someone be able to pull him out of his shell?

Hospice From The Living Side is dark yet hauntingly beautiful. Anyone who's had someone in hospice knows the hell of it.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Hospice can be hell.

The Throw Away Boy is a heartbreaking commentary on our society. Children are a gift and deserve to be loved and cherished. Compliments to the author and for his generous offer to repost.

If only... It’s impossible to understand how anyone can do that to a child, especially their own.

Of course, Marcus sold out his friend. He was far too connected to the world of magic not to get involved somehow. Oh, and that evil CFB, she was far too invested in tormenting our guys at the round table meeting with the looks, glares, challenges... Having been up all night reading Jack Poignet stories, this is by far one of the faves.

Yes, "Big Paws", what an enjoyable tale! Now looking forward to another Lightbringer story.

What an assortment of offerings you provide your audience. No doubt I'll enjoy whatever you present. Of course, the offer of Nazis hunted down by the „Beast of Gévaudan“… would certainly draw my attention.
