Very well deserved golden cherries Hudsonmoon----This was a gem of a story. Pearls of humor drip from every word of resolution. And as always, the character's and dialogue were pure perfection. Please keep writing these vignettes; they are founts...

Posted on Fri, 10 Jan 2025
I love the build up in the last few chapters and the cliff hanger of an ending in this one- Did Spencer escape out the bathroom window? Is he going to cybermates to fix his head? I cannot wait for the next chapter to post.
You have a gem...

Thank you Di- He was the best part of me. That photo is of course a younger one but his face was much the same, no lines and always smiling that great smile. My sons, although going through a harsh grief too, are helping me stay strong.

A look back over the years

Thank you Di-Hard- I am struggling to understand the why and feeling the guilt we'd missed something sooner, some sign that could have changed this outlook. It's a battle I am desprate for him to win and I'm hoping for a miracle.

Posted on Mon, 28 Oct 2024
I had a feeling the narrator was ethereal but then you added human concerns and I wasn’t so sure. This well plotted tale led the reader deeper and deeper into the morbid awareness of the situation and seeing the events from the vantage point of...

Posted on Sun, 27 Oct 2024
I was worried when that robot, repair tech thought Vanessa might be abusing Spencer but then he did fix him, only he sent Vanessa from the room while he did it and he added some, unasked for, upgardes. It does make you wonder what those upgrades...
