Rog stepped into the hall, which for all intents and purposes might just as well been no man’s land. He had flown hoppers in every canyon on the southern reaches, known and unknown. Never once did he lose his way. Those days were gone, forever. There would be no more hoppers, no more hot meals after a hard day’s work on the ranch, no more ninker this or ninker that, no more Chaz. And now, his one foothold on sanity, appeared to be but a dream; his ability to control his environment and outcome, a hazy mirage shimmering in the back of his mind. Categories: Story, Rog

Even a hazy mirage is made beautiful through your imagination

and out of context:
Isn't imagination everything?
Like what John Lennon said/sang?

Lemme wait for great commentary to follow

Anon, the imagination, I think, is the window from which possibility looks with longing eyes into a world not yet shaped by hands and hearts. Thanks for those kind words. :-)
:-D
It does Steve. Not what I had in mind, but now that you mention it, that's all I can see. :-D
With imagination, all things are possible.
Welcome to my choir Alexandra. :-)

Proving what I said below about expression. :-)
Less, more, short, long, even content aside for a second, I'm always astounded by how well written your chapters are. There's a natural balance within.
I have great sympathy for Rog as a character and I know that you know that I fancy him rotten. :-D Any stereotypical traits based on his sex that we could attribute to him are all the good ones. Once again, that thought of what they have all been through, the having left everything behind and going to the unknown in every way, not knowing what is ahead, it's unimaginable - but for Rog and Yul they have each other moreso that any of the other characters have someone. For Rog, and you did the job of showing us this so very well here and in previous chapters, lost is as far as we could imagine.
Excellent tidbit of a chapter!!
Just have to say, it's a little hard finding the discipline to read these other chapters first, when the top one has that fractal and that title. :-D
Oh I wish you could see the Rogesque smile on my face right now thinking of you in that internet cafe knowing that top chapter is just sitting there and knowing how long it is and knowing somewhat the content. When it's all done and over the gang would like to know: Was it good for you too? :-D
Not only that and then I had to contend with only reading half a comment - you worked hard, well, so did I. ;-D
What a great big treat to come in and see so many chapters - did a double take to make sure, but yes, 4 it was, woohoo kind of covers that reaction. :-D
And then, to have that fractal and my eyes had caught the warning label and read that already, well, it's a credit to how good the other 3 were that I managed to wait, and not be tempted into skipping ahead in eagerness.
And it was well worth the wait, a perfect performance, 6.0 across the board. :-)
Good morning, xo, enjoy that coffee (may not have time to any above that need replying to this session) and have a wonderful day!
On my first cup and I can feel the light seeping into my brain. I do so much appreciate your reading of the story and your insights and commentary. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the story would not be the same without you.
Now, here's the question. If Yul comes on to Em, tries to seduce her with the vial, what does she do? :-D
:-) Still waters Em, hmmm...I'm not quite sure, with Em, I think, it would depend on the moment more than anything.
