You don't have anything to worry about as long as Instinct lives. Are you scared? If you're scared, you're admitting that there is going to be one more deaths in regard to instinct and anyone closely associated.

I would rather persuade him not to take the throne, because your cliffhangery is much more dastardly and evil than his. You have blown every single LiS cliffhanger out of the water. Therefore, you deserve the title along with a title in regard to misdirection.

The moral of the story... If you're evil, you'll still be fine as long as you're not a homophobe.

We'll have to wait and see. There is no way of knowing until the next chapter is published. Is it Monday yet? Damn... it's only Tuesday.

That's an interesting scenario, Jan. I think that's the best one yet! Okay, does CJ need a final edit for the chapter? I'm volunteering.

Are you suggesting a contract killing?

Five for Fighting "100 Years" is a good one. I also happen to like "Precious" by Depeche Mode. Those songs are beautiful and romantic.

I knew that The Scar was somehow related to the band, but I refuse to believe that it's all one big trainwreck and that he will not pay for his evil misdeeds. As for the band dying, I guess we'll have to prepare the alter for the sacrifice and wait to see what happens.

We all make mistakes. Speaking of evil cliffhangers, how is Chapter 6 of DnCW coming along?

Gary, I don't disclose such info when I edit or beta read. However, I think what is to be disclosed should be up to the author in question. Having said that, I may drop little innocent hints here and there, but rarely do I mention something pivotal in the plot. As for someone dying, it looks like we may be sacrificing a goat to the gods.

Wow Kev! I doubt I will ever make it to 4,444. Congrats!

Yes, a poll is definitely necessary. I happen to think we should, but I believe in the power of democracy!

Maybe a new poll is in order. I can be quite imaginative. Let's see. We could always have rotisserie goat.

That will mean a trainwreck ending. Not even evil cliffhangers are as evil as trainwrecks. I hope they survive somehow.

I'm sure we all know people who get offended at the drop of a hat, right? Well, this is one of my pet peeves. I mean what the hell is wrong with people? So somebody teased you with a joke. Who cares? Just let it go already. There are plenty of things in this world to be mad about like the seeming lack of wonderful presidential candidates this year. I know which one I want to vote for, but I'm still not overly thrilled with him. Now everyone seems to be copying Viv's latest blog and taking the survey. While I have no problem with it, I have no intention of doing the same. I like to stand out in a crowd. Speaking of Viv, if you have not read From Behind Those Eyes, I suggest reading it soon. It's awesome story about young love.

That was quite helpful Mike. Now nobody can deny it. C James truly is the King of Evil Cliffhangers.

Now, I'm just wondering what the death toll will be. It's already over 100,000. :wacko:

Sorry, but that does not seem plausible. First of all, they would have to know about the missles.

Benji, I don't think I'm capable. Even as great as Shadowgod is, he might not even be capable. The king, C James, reigns supreme.

You've got that right. That's why I tell everyone that I've never really used a cliffhanger.

That's the most EVIL cliffhanger ever!

When you grow older, you will let a lot of people "on the side of the road": family's members, close friends and others. Grief is always hard, very hard. But with the time passing, you will only remember the good moments. It's what life teach you. As you told us about the two last years of his life, I could imagine that his death was a relief form him. (I lived that with my daughter, dying from AIDS). And what it concern yourself, live each day, enjoy it, remembering always it could be your last. That's an advise of a very old man. Take care and "carpe diem". Old Bob That's terrible that your daughter died like that. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope we find a cure for HIV/AIDS soon. Part of the reason I wrote my anthology story was to honor the victims of the horrible disease. I do remember the good times, and I will treasure them for the rest of my life. The problem is that they seem so long ago. I'm also sorry to hear that your father died when you were so long. If you don't mind me asking, how did your mother handle it? Mine is starting to date again, but she still cried a lot on the 24th.

It's nice to see people who are so dedicated to their significant other. It seems to be a dying sentimentality. I wish that wasn't the case. Some act like we're so bad, yet the divorce rate among the heteros is 50% or more. I wonder how many of those divorces happen simply because of something happening like we're talking about in this thread.

I have to agree about dachshunds. They're so darn cute. I think I'd be ready to throw something at someone who asked me so many questions. You are much more patient than I am. I am too easily annoyed.

I think for some it's the fact that their parents pounded homophobia into their heads. For others, it's most likely the fact that they had a bad experience with someone who is not a good example of a decent human being who just happens to be gay. Regardless, it is unfortunate that people feel that way.
