I have both IC and electric powered vehicles and I must say the LEAF doesn't purr. Aside from the little bit of noise from the tires rolling on the road and a bit of wind noise, it makes no sound whatsoever. Even for a glorified golf cart that LEAF is an absolute blast to drive.

For those of us of a certain age, a "purring" car meant it was running very well, like the steady purring of a cat. Geez. I couldn't even get past the first line without comment.

Love the story, but your beta readers need to pay closer attention. It's "fateful", not "faithful". There. Now my OCD is satisfied.

"I know I'm only giving you more and more questions... but that's the way it is!" LOL! This is like spending a week in the Trump administration. Utter chaos. I'll somehow manage to get through it. 😬😬😬

Would I be correct in defining "spontanasity" as a contraction of "spontaneous tenacity"? If so, it struck me as a particularly 'Jonah' trait and awesome word play.

Oxford Blue/Silver, hands down in this trio. It's funny, the Sapphire Blue is similar to my own car, but the interior is what turned me off of it. My last car was a white Chrysler 300S with black leather interior. It was like riding in a cave, even with the panoramic roof shade wide open. My current Highlander has buckskin colored leather and is much more airy and open feeling. I've always liked the dark blue/buckskin color combination since Lincoln introduced the 1977 Mark V Bill Blass Edition. My perfect car is white with tan interior and I've only owned one that had both, my 2012 Charger I bought out of frustration for being unable to find that color combo in an E350.

Quite frankly, I really didn't care for any of the three, I was just trying to be polite. 😎 Yes, the Sunset Copper is a bit garish, I'll readily admit, but I'm a sucker for lighter/brighter colors. The Midnight Sapphire/Oxblood is quite elegant, but in a 'stuffy old money' sort of way. As much as softer shades of green are one of 'my colors', I wore it in uniform for 26 years, so I tend to avoid them like the plague for some odd reason.

And yet that exact one was my 'first impression' pick... Just sayin'. I'm stickin' with 'Sunset Copper'. It just looks right. 😄

Another of my favorites that I've read many times over the years. I can't wait to see where you'll take us in the Epilogue!

I've read this story many times over the years. It's just as enthralling today as it was the first time.

Ah, sibling love...🤣

It's funny that this story popped into my mind the other day and voila! A new chapter appears after 2+ years!

The notification for the poll showed up first in my notification list with the chapter posting next in line, so the poll notification had me on high alert for an Easter Egg and I thought I'd found it with this statement by Will concerning Scott Slater right off the top: "It was funny that he had been a little freaked out when he’d met Travis, but within fifteen minutes he was back to being his fun, playful self." Based on that statement anything but a vote for Scott Slater was a waste of time... Or not. I guess Mark will make that determination in the next chapter or so.

I'm generally not a fan of supernatural/paranormal sci-fi, but dammit, you got me hooked here! Keep up the great work and I'll be waiting with bated breath for each installment.
