You & I - 19. Chapter 19

Funny, i always suspected Isaac was in a wheelchair. Beats me, why i new that in a way or another he was handcapped.

Another great chapter. It’s great that Issac & Max are getting to the point where they are going to meet for the first time.  I can’t wait to read if they continue their friendship after they meet. 

Wow! I was just truly surprised. That doesn't happen very often. This story has been unique and delightful!    I'm happy to continue buying DK's works on amazon, but I hope he feeds some public material now and then too. 

I suspected the wheelchair because of something Issac said in one of the last two letters, I don't remember for sure which or what.  It wasn't a surprise.  The letters are becoming even more interesting  

It’s great that Max and Issac want to meet, can’t wait to see what happens when they do.

I never suspected a disability, but I did think there would be a twist. Very interested to see how this turns out.

Great read. Thanks.

I don't remember what it was either, but that might be it that made sure he was in a wheelchair.

Wow, that last paragraph really hit hard.  I didn’t see a wheelchair in the story anywhere.  I hope that Max is big enough to move right past the disability and be best friends with someone he has gotten to know so well.   I think an advantage these days with on line chats is you get to know the inner person before you see the outer person.  In the past most connections were made face to face and looks played a huge part in how far things would go. Now days it seems like more and more you get to know someone and when you see them face to face it doesn’t count for as much as it used to. The real person, that person’s innerbeing is who they really are.  I hope Issac and Max can realize they already are good friends.

I hinted throughout the entire story that Isaac has been in a wheelchair, and I wanted there to be enough valid evidence for people to be able to piece it together when the time came to have to announce it. Perhaps, I did in the later chapter overuse some symptoms that gave it away. Thanks for the comment  I hope you are still enjoying the book.

I'm getting there, yes. The boys are close to meeting, but I have a couple of ideas in mind before I bring them to a conclusion. I am delighted to see that you are super excited to see what will happen with the lads.

Yes... ehehe... I like being random, and I love to catch people out, I am stoked that I was able to surprise you. I have enjoyed writing the story myself, and I can't wait to move on to bigger projects. And yes, I will be adding the occasional story, but for the next year, I wish to build a reputation and a list of exclusive content for folks who want to read my work When I finished this, I can't wait to go back to an older title I wrote called Even If We Tried. I wrote 99k words the first time, and people loved it so I am going to complete it. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book  Thanks for the comment.

I hope the story is still interesting enough to read, even though you sort of figured Issac was in a wheelchair. At the start, I decided to put him in a wheelchair not long after the third or fourth entry. I had realized I knew who Max was, and I didn't know who Issac was, so, one afternoon I went soul searching for a character I'd never written before, and well, we entered a wheelchair from then after. I hope the book continues to hold your attention until the end

Well, let's see what happens in the future, we've just had a big revelation. And I know that it would be a pretty small and deceitful thing for a person to judge someone based on a disability, but let's hope that is not Max. I can't wait to see how it unravels myself, as I have no clue what is to come, as I have completely pantsed this book without any outline lol.

Great to see the comment. I guess I hinted at a larger something through the entire book, and I didn't mention what it was, but I delighted that it came as a surprise. I can't wait to see how the story turns out myself, I hope you stick around until the end.

Perhaps it was my constant annotations about not being able to do sports, or maybe it was other minor things like losing something you never thought was huge until it is gone. Ironic... right, I can't rightly remember what I fully wrote either lol.

I hope so too, I wish that Max does the right thing... well, in my mind anyway. Some people do find people with a disability a hindrance. Therefore, the idea is presented and I guess it is a waiting game to see what Max does with the situation. Indeed, in the olden days, people with an inability where shunned most of the time, or looked down upon, to say the least. One idea when I wrote was, I wanted the boys to have great chemistry, but have the concept of being biased on the horizon. Today, it probably doesn't present larger isolation for people in wheelchairs. Except, I can only assume it still remains, and some kids can still feel in the lightest sense of the words... odd... for having a friend with this ability. So, I wanted to have some real problems showing, and some real people who are indecisive, and capable of making mistakes.
