EROS, known as genuine love, is defined as "passionate love, longing, and sensual desire." In this chapter sensual desire, emphasis on the sensual, is front and center, raw lust if you will propelled by anger. Who knows what is behind the anger? Sex becomes a brutally selfish act. And yet, CW shows us that healing can occur even under such cruel circumstances. As Quixo and Sean have said, this was a difficult chapter to read just as our author has said, it was her/his most difficult story to tell. The irony is that some level of satisfaction, perhaps even fulfillment, is obtained by all parties in this tangled web. We are indebted to our author for taking us on this challenging journey. With gratitude, SWG

I am a newby to Gay Authors but I am amazed that so few readers take the time to make comments on stories, even those of a very popular and prolific author such as Casual Wanderer. Perhaps it is the holiday season and people are busy? I began this story and then took a short break from it because I found Ch 2 unsettling. It was a perfectly reasonable thing to do but now I am back. CW is a master storyteller that draws the reader into her/his tales using exquisite language and form(s). The axiom that a writer should write what he/she knows, can come from real-life experiences or from one's imagination and of course a combination of the two, all of which are valid. CW's writing reflects the knowledge mandated by the edict of that axiom.

Ground, floor; much ado about nothing. Proofreaders miss things, so?

Just when things seem to becoming perfect...or perhaps we are embarking on the process of perfection.
