As he promised David has come up with another fantastic chapter for this epic.

The only problem I found is that I was having difficulty in seeing the words because of the tears in my eyes.

Wonderful!

LOL

I don't want to spolt it for those that have not read it yet, so I will just say:

This episode has a huge amount of imagery and feelings, I too had tears in my eyes (and rolling down my face).

I find myself reading not for the castration/ballbusting etc., but to find out what is happening to the characters. The descriptions and imagery have been so good I feel as if I actually know them all.

Thank you for this wonderful series, your wonderful writing and for the characters and story lines that have become so engrossing.

Jamie.

David, you have done terrible things to my emotions. You are a true master, so much so that if you haven't already considered a career in writing you should do so now. If Stephen King can make it, you should have no trouble at all. You are head and shoulders above him and many many others.

And to think the best story I have ever read hasn't even cost me anything!

charlie, jamie, and colin,

thanks for the praise. i'm just glad that you are enjoying the story. it's been an interesting trip writing it and i feel like most of the characters are real and good friends. i'm concentrating my writing efforts on the tribes and am about halfway finished with chapter 30. not sure when it will be done, though.
