Sorry I haven't left more comments on the chapters but I usually catch up reading on my phone at work and the mobile doesn’t allow me to post - But I love this story and can't wait for the next installment.

Posted on Tue, 18 Feb 2025
I'm sure this was a difficult poem to write; I'm happy you didn't let the dark memories fester within, that you wrote them out and held them up to the sunlight so they can wither away and you can emerge, whole and beautiful as you're meant to be...

Cows seem complacent when they are grazing. I find them comforting to watch and I agree with Turlough, their large expressive eyes are gorgeous. They’re sturdy, beautiful beasts. Your poem brought me into an early morning light where I saw all of...

So kind of you to say this Di_Hard because I’ve become fond of these characters too. It has become difficult for me to focus on almost anything lately but when I went back to this tale I found solace in creating their world. I’ve even been...

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...
