Fleeting Eternity

Thank you for the great review.

This was a tough story to tell, but I wanted very badly to do it. How will time be used when it becomes precious currency? I think that shows someone's true character, more than anything else.

I'm glad you read through the dark. I hope any light you found made the trip worth taking.

Thank you so much for the fantastic comment - review or not! 🙂

This story ... man. It was hard. It was hard to write, hard for Thorn to edit, hard to read. But I truly do think the journey is worth it. I mean, that's life. There's so much effort, hurt and pain wrapped up in life, but there's a lot of joy to be had too.

Markus' sections hit close to home for me too. We write what we know, right? Well, unfortunately, I know the desolation that comes from rejection, self-loathing, and a lack of support. I hope his arc helped show that even people like us can find happiness.

Thanks for the great comments, Tom.  I’m thrilled you found the story so engaging.

You're right - I had to push myself to produce this work.  There were times it made me wonder if I was doing the right thing, if people could handle both of the relationship dynamics I picked.

But I’m glad we ended up where we did.  Thanks for going along with me on this journey.

Thank you, Tony.

You were one of the very first to read this story.  I asked initially for your help, so you could assist with some of the nuances of psychology, and helping me make sure I got things right with Tad and his process.  You were a great asset.  I appreciate that you took the time to ensure I got things right.  You helped make this a better story.  🙂

Thanks for taking the time to review the story!  I appreciate that.  I'm so glad you loved it.  This one means a lot to me, so I'm happy that it's resonating with readers.

Thanks again.

Thank you, Parker.

I wondered if this story was just too much.  Was it too challenging, or did it ask too much of the reader?  Because you’re right... it’s not a fluffy tale.  It’s as true to life as I can get, and sometimes those stories are hard.  I’m glad you found the result worth the journey.

Thank you, Jeffrey.  I'm so happy that you enjoyed the story, and that you stuck with me throughout the tale.  It means a lot to know folks like and enjoy the work I put into it, and you never hesitated to let me know when you found a chapter or a scene particularly engaging.  Thanks again.

Hi Chris.  Thank you for the great review, and for always taking the time to comment on the chapters.  I also appreciate that you read it pre-edit, and in its first incarnation with the photos.

I'm glad this work could touch you.  Thanks for reading.

Thank you so much, Thorn.

You're 100% right.  There are times when this story is tough to read, I know that's true.  The goal wasn't to write an easily digested tale; it was to show the power of a legacy, and as an example of how our actions affect the world beyond ourselves.  Thanks for editing this, talking with me about it, and helping me hone it to a fine point.  I appreciate you.

Thank you for the great words.  Your comments in the chapters were always thoughtful, and you showed a lot of interest in the work.  I appreciate that, I sincerely do.  I'm glad you found something good and meaningful in this book.
