While the wind was shaking the house it was nothing compared to the
previous evening.  Everyone was so tired that they would have slept just
about anywhere.

Overnight the wind gradually eased along with the rain.  By the time George
started waking them up the sun was beginning to rise on the horizon and
there wasn't a cloud in the sky. This was good news not only for them but
for all farmers in the district.

The first thing was to milk the cows and feed the stock.  Apart from a
large churn of fresh milk kept for the house, the rest went down the drain
because there was no way it could be kept fresh until the power was
restored. George decided to keep the one tractor attached to the small
house generator so they could keep at least some food frozen and
refrigerated. The waste was incredible.

Over breakfast George told everyone what had to be done, "The top paddock
nearest to the barn had drained away pretty quick so we'll put the cows and
the horses into that paddock after we have checked all the fences. We will
then have to try and get to all the other fences that are no longer under
water and fix them up as well. For the fields that have crops planted, when
the ground dries out a bit more we will I'm afraid have to plough
everything back in and when the time is right replant."

All of them especially Damien knew this would affect their budget
considerably.  George continued, "I fear that all the crops on my farm will
be gone so the same will apply there." Everyone including the youngest boys
weren't very happy at the gloomy news George had delivered.

George took all the boys out and the uncovered the old caterpillar tractor
which he hoped would start ok. While it would churn up the soft ground with
its tracks they would have to use that instead of disconnecting the tractor
from the power supply. Luckily it started after about three tries, blowing
some evil smoke into the air but sounding wonderful.

They hooked up the trailer and loaded some fence posts and wire along with
the equipment they would need and headed out checking the fences. While
they were doing that Jennifer and the two security guys stranded with them
walked along the road to see if it was open all the way to town. However,
it was obvious it would be another two to three days before they could get
through.

Jennifer was worried about the town house and Veronica and Eddie, while the
security guys were keen to be relieved so they could check on their own
homes and families. While the couple of battery radios we had were a
godsend the local radio stations had all been off the air as well so the
news we were getting was from some distance away. The good news was that
the Government was offering financial assistance to property who lost
crops, stock and buildings.

The fences around the home paddock were in fairly good shape and they were
completely fixed by lunchtime.  The cows and horses were happy to be
outside and nibbling on fresh grass which was already shooting up under the
sunshine.

After lunch they went and checked the outside living quarters in the
refurbished barn and found a bit of water damage and some timber
missing. It didn't take long for the place to be cleaned up and made
habitable once more, except there was still no power.

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Meanwhile in Ohio, Martha Fred's transvestite partner was on the verge of a
nervous breakdown. He still couldn't believe that the man he hoped was
going to be his partner for the rest of his life was a predator who used
the internet to prey on young boys, not only in America but the world.

He assured Martha that he hadn't done anything like that once he met and
fell in love with him, but how could Martha be sure? Still he vowed that he
would stand by Fred no matter what and visited him in prison as often as
the authorities would allow.

Because of his advancing years Fred wasn't faring too well in prison.  Even
though he was kept in protective custody other prisoners had managed to get
close enough to beat him up and on one occasion he was raped by a fellow
inmate. He told his lawyer who protested to the prison authorities but
nothing was done.

On Martha's most recent visit, Fred was much more cheerful. At last he had
been given a court date and under his lawyer's advice had changed his plea
to guilty. By doing this his lawyer told him that he would get probation
like he received the first time he was arrested about ten years ago.

"The prisons are overcrowded and judges are being asked to give out
non-custodial sentences where ever possible, especially in cases such as
Fred who would have to be kept in isolation and because of his age he would
require frequent medical attention." Their lawyer told them. This made
Martha feel happier knowing that his husband could be back home in less
than a month. All that was left to do was wait a couple more weeks when
Fred would have his day in court and they would be back together again.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Both Miles and Keith thought that Jeremy was settling in well at his new
school until they got a call from the Principle asking if they could come
in right away. Keith phoned Miles and told him to be ready because he would
be around to pick him up to take him to school. When Miles asked what had
happened Keith said he had no idea and they would have to wait till they
got there.

When they arrived Jeremy was sitting outside the principal's office and
just by looking at him they could see he had been fighting.  Before they
could question him the principle called them in to his office. Once they
sat down with Jeremy sitting between them with his head hanging down, Keith
asked the principle what the problem was.

"Jeremy was caught fighting with several other boys and I have since found
out this was not the first incident when blows have been exchanged. I will
be questioning the other boys and speaking with their parents later today
but I decided to talk to you first after what Jeremy told me. Jeremy
perhaps you would like to tell your fathers what you told me earlier?"

Jeremy was silent for a while as if trying to make his mind up on what to
say and how to say it, "A couple of kids in my class keep on and on that I
don't have a mother or a proper father but two faggots to look after
me. The fight started when one of them said it would be just a matter of
time before they started using me and doing queer sexual things to me." He
burst into tears after saying that and both Miles and Keith hugged him
telling the poor boy that everything they are saying are wrong.

Keith turned to the principle saying, "This verbal bullying of a poor child
who had recently lost both his parents and is now being raised by two guys
needs to stop and stop right now.  As an officer of the law I know for a
fact that this kind of bullying is against the law and I could have these
bullies sent to juvenile hall. I don't want to do that and I suspect the
parents could well be behind all this.

The bottom line is we need action to nip this in the bud right now and make
sure this kind if bullying stops." The principle looked most unhappy after
this tirade of words from Keith because he wasn't sure how to go about
nipping this in the bud, "I agree with everything you say Keith but I'm not
sure how to handle it. I must admit I haven't had a situation like this
before in my school and from what I've heard from teachers and other staff
members you're right in assuming this talk is coming from parents.

I have already had one family threatening to take their child elsewhere
because they didn't want her exposed to a child with two homosexual
fathers.  Furthermore the janitor overheard several parents while outside
the school waiting for their children discuss ways and means of having
Jeremy removed from the school."

Keith began to see red and while Miles was trying to calm him down he too
was seething inside at what was happening to their son. "I am the most
senior ranking Texas Ranger in this district and if this nonsense isn't
stopped I will make sure that something is done about it. I can already see
a case for a civil law suit against some of the parents and children, but I
will consult with some of the highest legal minds in Texas to see what our
options are. Both Miles and I are honest law abiding citizens. Admittedly
our sexual orientation differs from the normal but that is how we are made
and nothing can be done about it.

We intend to bring up our adopted son to know what is right and wrong, what
is just and fair and to give him the best chance in life he can have to
grow up to be a decent law abiding citizen. Now I suggest that we meet this
problem face on and I would appreciate it if you would call a meeting of
all the parents of children attending this school and we will meet with
them and hammer this out before it gets even further out of hand. The last
thing I'm sure you don't want is the press to get hold of the story so
let's keep it in the school and as soon as you have arranged the meeting we
will attend,"

While the principle didn't like being dictated to in this way he realised
that these two guys were a force to be reckoned with, so he bowed to their
wishes. Keith indicated that the meeting was ended by rising and extending
his hand across the desk before saying, "We will be taking Jeremy home for
the rest of today but he will be attending school tomorrow."

On the way home in the police car there was no request for sirens or
flashing lights.  Jeremy sat quietly in the back with his head down saying
nothing, in fact neither Keith nor Miles spoke at all during the short ride
home.

Once inside Miles fixed them lunch and when they were all sat round the
table Keith asked Jeremy just how the fight started. Jeremy was silent for
a while and both of his dads thought he wasn't going to answer but then he
opened up, "They kept saying that I had no mother but two queers who liked
taking it up the ass.  The kid I hit Shaun, who is a bit of a leader and
the main bully around school said to me, don't worry it'll just be a matter
of time before they both want your ass and I bet they've already asked you
to suck their cocks because that's what faggots do.

After that I couldn't help it I just hit him as hard as I could and he went
down like a sack of potatoes. All the kids who he had been bullied in the
past cheered me while his bully mates went for me but I took a couple more
down before they got me. By then a couple of teachers ran up and split us
up."

Both guys were silent for a while not sure what to say until Miles spoke,
"Would you rather go to another school for example a private one?"

"No, it looks like a good school but I wish they wouldn't keep talking
about you two all the time behind your backs. My friend Janet overheard one
parent say that she hoped I didn't join the swimming team or anything like
that in case I've got AIDS and I might contaminate the water and spread the
disease."

The look of anger and fury on both of their faces said it all, with Keith
saying that they would have to sort a few people out when they have that
meeting.  Jeremy began to cry with tears rolling down his cheeks and both
of them comforted him, telling him that everything would be sorted one way
or another, "We love you dearly Jeremy and remember you're our son and if
anyone again tries to hurt you or upset you they will have us both to
contend with." Keith then looked at the time saying that he had a meeting
he was going to be late for. After kissing his son and giving him a hug he
did the same to Miles and headed out the door. Once he had gone Miles
suggested that they sit back and relax for the rest of the day watching a
movie or something.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



After supper every one settled down in the dining room to watch a movie.
Although George warned that they will have to shut off the power when
everyone has gone to bed for a couple of hours, because they are running a
bit low on diesel fuel.

Jordon and Geoff were cuddled up together and they noticed the twins were
doing the same while the other boys were more or less sitting on their
own. It was then that Jordon noticed Callum the oldest of the boys who was
on the streets before coming to the farm was missing.

He pointed this out to Geoff and they decided to go look for him. As they
passed the bathroom they heard crying and knocked on the door, "Is that you
Callum, can we come in and talk to you?"

There was no answer so Jordon tried the door and found it wasn't
locked. They found Callum slumped on the floor curled up in a ball sobbing
his heart out. Both boys went to comfort him asking what was wrong, but got
no answer. Jordon pulled him up suggesting they go to their bedroom and
just talk. He allowed them to lead him out into the hall towards their room
when Damien came looking for them. When he saw Callum crying he went
towards them but Jordon motioned him away. He did as he was told, leaving
it up to Jordon and Geoff to sort out what was wrong.

All three sat together on the bed with Jordon and Geoff putting their arms
around Callum. At seventeen not only was he the eldest but also the tallest
and most well-built. He had light brown hair and was a good looking guy,
yet so far he hadn't made friends with any of the others preferring to be
on his own.

Jordon hugged him and at the same time they felt Callum's body stiffening
and while he tried to pull away he couldn't, "What's the problem Callum,
we're all here to help each other and if you have a problem you can tell us
and maybe we can help. If you don't want anyone else to know then it will
remain our secret."

Callum was silent for several minutes while the two guys remained quiet
patiently waiting for this poor boy to talk. Finally almost as if he'd made
his mind up Callum looked Jordon in the eyes saying, "Please don't get me
wrong or send me away from here, it's just because I don't fit in."

Jordon answered before Geoff could get a word in, "For a start you do fit
in and we will never ever turn you out. So if that's what's bothering you,
you have nothing to worry about."

For the first time the boys got some sort of reaction with Callum returning
the hug, "This is a wonderful place and you are all great people. I've
never been in the country before, always spending my time in big cities.
You see my mother was an alcoholic and drug user.  My father also drank a
lot and would beat me whenever he came home drunk which was most nights.

By the time I was fourteen I couldn't take any more, so I packed up a few
things and left home. I worked the streets along with other guys my age and
slept wherever we could find a dry spot. I'm not proud of the life I was
living." He paused before continuing, "One night I came across my father
lying in the street dead drunk and I beat him to a pulp.  It was all those
years of abuse and beatings coming out as I screamed obscenities at him
while stomping on his head and kicking him in the guts.

A guy who I had become friends with came along and pulled me off telling me
to make myself scarce and we both ran off as police sirens were heard in
the distance. I found out later that he was on life-support in a hospital
and wasn't expected to live. I moved to another city so I wouldn't be
caught and later heard that he lived for about a month longer before they
switched off the machines keeping him alive, so you see I'm wanted for
murder."

"While what you did was wrong to take another person's life I can
understand why you lost it when you did." Jordon told him before going on
to tell him about his father and how in the end he shot him, "So you see I
also have a cross to bear because of my father."

Callum looked in amazement at Jordon before continuing his story, "I ended
up in Toronto working the streets and living off my wits before Damien and
Bentley found me passed out in a doorway.  All because a guy wanted sex and
he paid me in drugs which up until then I had avoided because I knew what
they had done to my mother."

Geoff hugged him before speaking for the first time, "Ok, you had a hard
life but you're safe here and we will keep your secret, so why the tears
and sadness Callum?"

"For starters I'm not seventeen but almost nineteen and I know this is for
young guys only so what happens to me when I get too old to stay here?"

"Don't worry Callum we won't just throw you back out into the streets.  I
can promise you that. We haven't yet decided when the leaving age will be
but we will look after you, be assured of that.  Who knows, you might
eventually find someone here who you can maybe move in with, but we will
never ever turn you out with nothing, I promise you that." Jordon told
him. He then had another thought saying, "Regarding your age I think it
would be best keeping that bit of news between ourselves and not even
telling Damien. As far as anyone here is concerned you're only seventeen,
understood?"

Tears once again began forming in his eyes as both Geoff and Jordon leaned
in to gently kiss him on the cheeks, "You guys are unreal, I never knew
there were kind thoughtful guys like you in the world."

Just then Jennifer called upstairs to tell them there was hot chocolate for
everyone in the kitchen before we all go to bed.

On the way down Jordon whispered to Callum that he will have to talk to
Damien but no one else will know about the conversation.  You can also
sleep in our bed tonight if you like, just for company nothing else." He
added with a grin.

Downstairs as everyone was gathering around the steaming pot of hot
chocolate Jordon and Geoff took Damien to one side and briefly told him
about Callum's worries.  Damien said they will talk about it tomorrow
morning. Jordon also explained that Callum for tonight would be in their
bedroom.

Once everyone had finished supper George announced fifteen minutes before
the power goes off. Everyone said goodnight and headed for wherever they
were sleeping.  In Jordon and Geoff's room they quickly got ready for bed
and all three of them hopped into bed cuddling up to each other. They made
sure that Callum was in the middle so they could both hug him and assure
him that everything was going to be all right.

"You guys are unreal." He said with tears forming once again in his
eyes. "I have never met a group of people who cared like you guys do."
Nothing more was said because a hug can often say more than enough and with
arms around each other they drifted off to sleep.

The following morning was so beautiful with the sun creeping up over the
horizon and the grass in the fields already beginning to shoot rich new
growth. The boys were full of vim and vigour as they went about doing their
before breakfast chores.  As the cows were being brought in for milking a
loud cheer went up.  Which more than likely echoed throughout the district
as the main power supply was at last restored.

This meant that the milk could be saved in the refrigerated tanks and if
the road opened within the next twenty four hours it could be shipped into
town. The chicken coop had been repaired yesterday, so those not on milking
duty rounded up the chickens which were still in the barn and put back in
their proper home.


The beautiful tantalizing aroma of steak, bacon and eggs greeted them as
they made their way back to the farmhouse, finding that tables and chairs
had been set up outside and the food was cooking on the charcoal grill
outside. With no orange juice or anything like that left, everyone had as
much fresh milk as they wanted.

Jennifer and one of the security guys had already gone down to check on the
road into town and the news was that if the water continued going down like
it was, the road should be open later today.

Geoff's mom in particular was panicking and wanted to get back to their own
property so the fridge and freezer could be emptied and all that rotten
meat disposed of, "There's bound to be stinking food and it needs to be
buried or burnt or something.  The house will have mould all through it so
I will need a working bee." She told her husband George.

Meanwhile Damien hit the phones which were also working, talking to
supplier and sponsors hoping that financial help would be forthcoming. The
seed supplier said that he would replace everything that was ruined free of
charge.  The feed merchant said that while he couldn't give them anything
free because he lost a lot of stuff in the storm as well, but he could
defer payment until the government flood relief money came through.

Straight after breakfast Damien called Jordon and Geoff into the front
office to find out more about Callum. They told him all about the problems
he had and also the fact that he was nineteen and not seventeen as he said
he was.  Damien said, "I think for now we should keep Callum's age at
seventeen and I would like you two to be friends with him.  Assure him that
we will never ever throw him out without a job to go to or something like
that. We have never worked out what happens when they leave here and what
age they leave."

The boys went off to quietly to inform Callum of the news and they finished
up with a group hug. Tonight all the boys would be back in their own beds
and Geoff was having a quiet five minutes with his lover when he had a
brilliant idea, "I wonder if we could play cupid and maybe match up Callum
with Ben who is seventeen. We're having problems with him because he's a
bit of a bully.  I've noticed the twins are terrified of him, so maybe
Callum could be the calming effect on Ben?"

"I think that's a great idea." Jordon replied, "You're not just a pretty
face are you?" With that he gave his lover a big kiss which developed into
a bit of a tonguing.  Before they knew it both of them had massive
erections straining to get out of their jeans. Of course just then the
twins came skipping past and made sure everyone within earshot knew what
was happening.

So on the two farms things started to get back to normal.  With the boys
going over to George and Martha's farm to clean up and they spent two days
cleaning and mending fences.  By then the ground had dried out allowing
George to plough in all the crops and prepare the ground for the next
planting. He showed all the boys in turn how to plough and drive the
tractor and the older guys were becoming experts.

Damien was happy because a lot of their sponsors came to the party to help
out.  The other great news was that Veronica and Eddie could finally get
through and be reunited with Jennifer.  Plus the two stranded security
guards could at last get home to their families.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Miles, Keith and Jeremy were all ready for their meeting at the school to
answer any questions regarding same sex adoptions and to try and give their
new son a better chance than he was getting right now. The two guys agreed
the bullying and taunting of their new son had to stop or they would take
the matter further.

As they approached the school they could see by the number of parked
vehicles that there was a big turnout. They parked the car and headed
towards the school hall where the principle was waiting nervously at the
door to greet them. They discussed what form the meeting would take and
Keith suggested that the best way was for him to explain Jeremy's
circumstances regarding his parents and then explain Miles and his
relationship .The principle agreed and as they walked in Keith whispered to
Miles that the same talk they gave the local church may be the way to go.

As soon as they walked in the loud chatter of conversation died down with
everyone going quiet.  They just sat in their seats staring at the three of
them as they were led by the principle down to the front where a table and
chairs had been set up.

Once they were seated the principle spoke first welcoming everybody before
continuing, "I hope and pray this doesn't turn into a shouting match and I
also hope that everyone will treat everyone else with dignity and respect."
That last remark brought forth a few jeers and comments as the principle
then introduced Keith, "Thank you and I echo the principle's words and hope
that you will first of all hear me and then we will answer any questions
the best we can. My name is Keith Jones and my partners name is Miles
Fortuna.  For Jeremy's sake we are from now on going to be using the
surname Fortuna." This brought a lot of muttering in the audience as Keith
continued, "First I would like to remind you about the terrrible
circumstances which brought young Jeremy to us."

His parents died under tragic circumstances when they became hostages in a
failed bank hold up. I was the senior police officer on the scene and
Jeremy was the only survivor of a tragic car smash. I took him under my
wing because child services couldn't take him at the time. Miles and I had
already made plans to adopt a child, not one quite as old as Jeremy here
but a young baby.

 Our investigations revealed that Jeremy had no other living relatives.  So
we decided to apply for adoption because we didn't want this young eight
year old to have to go into the foster home system, which is not an ideal
situation for any child to grow up in.

That is Jeremy's story, now to mine and Miles relationship. We are
homosexuals and we are deeply in love with each other. We are committed to
each other for life just like any other married couple. For those of you
who don't fully understand what homosexuality is all about I would like to
briefly explain.

Homosexuals are not man made.  By that I mean we don't suddenly decide we
want to have a man rather a women, it's not something one catches off a
toilet seat or from someone else, and is certainly not contagious." Someone
shouted from the back of the hall, "Maybe not but AIDS is."

"Please sir, let me finish then we will answer any questions.  Back to what
I was explaining Homosexuals or gays are not made but are created by
god. We were like that when we are born and contrary to some religious
groups there is no cure. We are gay and there is nothing we can do about
it.

We fully intend to give Jeremy the best opportunity possible for him to be
brought up in a caring Christian environment and receive the best education
possible to give him a start in life. I would like to quote the words
Jeremy used when he was introduced to his class on his first day. `My name
is Jeremy and I am one of the luckiest guys alive because I have two
fathers on earth to look after me and a mother and father in heaven to
watch over me'.

I can guarantee you that he will receive the best education and life we can
possibly give him. So far at this school he has been bullied and teased and
some nasty things were said about Miles and my relationship.  Which to us
only demonstrated just how little is known about same sex relationships. We
asked Jeremy if he wanted to leave this school and go to a private one and
his reply was no, this isn't a bad school and the teachers are very good. A
compliment indeed when you consider how he has been treated.

Now that I have fully explained our situation and the love Miles and I have
for this bright young boy let me finish by putting to rest one of the nasty
remarks which have been made to Jeremy.  We are a gay couple living
together just as any other couple.  We are not predators who seek out young
children for our own sexual gratification. Those predators are not gay but
sick and part of my job as a senior police officer in the state of Texas is
to track down people like that and lock them up, hopefully for a long
time. Anyway I have spoken far too long and Miles and I will answer any
questions or concerns you may have."

Before anyone could speak Jeremy stood up and gave Keith a big hug before
turning to Miles and doing the same. He then surprised everyone by turning
to those seated in front of him saying, "I love my new parents very much,
and they are caring people who I know will be the best parents anyone could
wish for. I just hope and pray that everyone will give them a chance to
prove it.

As daddy Keith told you I like this school and want to stay but I don't
want to have to fight everyone to do that. All I ask is that the name
calling and bullying stop. I know for a fact when in college Daddy Miles
was a very good football player and he has said to me that he wouldn't mind
coaching a team if he was allowed.

I have never bullied anyone in my life and have no intension of doing so.
I have two wonderful dads who I know will never hurt me or interfere with
me sexually because as Daddy Keith said, it is predators who go after young
boys and girls for sex.

If they hadn't taken me in I have no idea where I would be right now, maybe
with a family of predators who knows. I love these two guys as much as I
loved my parents. So please give not only me a chance to attend this school
but my dad's as well."

When Jeremy had stopped speaking he sat down holding hands with both his
dads who looked on with pride. The room was quiet for a few seconds and
then one or two began to applaud with others gradually joining in. Not
everyone applauded but the majority did. Once the applause had died down
Keith asked if there were any questions.

The lady who asked about AIDS saying, "If Jeremy was in the swimming club
and for some reason or another cut himself or had a nose bleed in the water
what would the chances be for my son to catch AIDS?"

Smiling Miles stood up to answer, "No chance at all because Jeremy doesn't
have AIDS and neither do the two of us, but even then the odds or your
child getting a disease like that in the pool would be nigh on impossible."
After that there were very few questions and the meeting ended.

The principle shook the guy's hands thanking them very much and
congratulated Jeremy for the way he spoke. Just as they were about to leave
the parents of the boy he had the fight with apologized for their sons
behaviour saying that he would have to stop his bullying ways or he would
find himself in serious trouble.

On the way home Jeremy was very quiet not saying too much and then because
it was so late he went off to shower and get into bed. Miles and Keith went
in a short while later to say goodnight and found him crying into his
pillow. Miles rushed over saying, "Hey Jeremy what's the problem why the
tears?"

They are not sad tears daddy but happy tears because I am the luckiest boy
in the world to have two dads who really care. Both grown men began to have
watery eyes as they hugged their new son before kissing him good night,
"And do you know what Jeremy, we are the luckiest dads in the world to have
a son as wonderful and as nice as you."

To be continued

Writers Corner. Two main topics in this chapter the aftermath of the storm
and effect it had on the farm plus we heard the sad story from Callum who
lied about his age to get taken into the project and I certainly don't
think he will be thrown out do you?

Poor Martha his life right now is in limbo until Fred's trial comes up. He
believes that by pleading guilty he will receive probation and nothing
else. I certainly hope he's right.

Finally we have Jeremy having problems at school because he has two fathers
and no mother. This is a true to life situation and I feel so sorry for
him. Of course Miles and Keith will do everything possible to stop the
bullying and I think maybe what was said at the meeting will help, but
there will always be a handful of trouble makers who will make life
difficult.

Back to the farm and life is slowly returning to normal and Damien isn't
quite as worried about the budget as sponsors and even the government are
helping those on the land who suffered at the hands of the storm.

Let me know what you think of this and indeed all my other chapters. I look
forward to hearing from you.

Hugs

Editors Corner

Well thank you Trevor for another great chapter.

I was thrilled how mature Jordon and Geoff were in how they handled Callum.
I am also glad that Damien also agreed and will allow this poor boy to
stay.  Looking forward to some nice love making between Callum and Ben in
the future.

Now that the storm is over and electricity restored hopefully things get
back to normal.  I was glad to see that none of the bigots tried to use the
power outage to attack the boys.

I am really scared that Fred will wind up behind bars and possibly killed.
I do not trust the judgement of their lawyer.  At least that is what my gut
tells me.

My favourite part of this chapter was where Keith and Miles tackled the
bullying at Jeremy's school.  I hope that Jeremy's life gets much better
and that if someone tries to bully him again that the other students stand
up to them and let them know it is not going to happen in their school.  I
was also excited to see that the parent of the kid who bullied Jeremy
apologize for his behaviour and gave her assurance that it will not happen
again.

Well be sure to tell Trevor your thoughts about this story.  Good or Bad.
