Hi!

Every Tuesday I’m going to continue this story. I’ve got the next few posts prepared for Tuesday deliveries. The story is all plotted out and i am guessing two years at one post per week. I am also going to make a better page to follow this part of the Gaelgia story — read it in order.

I’m afraid, things are going to get a bit rough on poor Xander and Galen rather quickly.

I don’t know what Zander and Galen’s world is like, but I wonder how the adults will react to their joke.
I wish I had Galen’s power. I’d like to hear more about the children and their world. : )

Finally back out. I think my head is on straight too. Maybe knocking on the underside of my desk helped!

Been there. No amount of pleading or tears can make the evil wall drones turn away.
I hope you are back out from under your desk.

Comment on Fire of the Gods by smcgee30

Thank you. In my life Im trying to surround myself with positivity. So, not all stories will be dark, and I think I naturally write towards peace, love, and understanding.

At least that’s what I want to believe about myself.

Interesting story.
Most of the stories of Fire of the Gods have been pretty dark and bloody.
But yours embraces Hope.
Reads like a fable. Very enjoyable.

True, but if we accept inferior products ourselves, we cannot get mad at people for choosing inferior books.

There is an old sales rules, never try to sell something you wouldn’t by yourself.

Nothing ever stays the same.
Disposability is built in to many products.
The only thing to do is use each product until it dies. There are (supposedly) 35 year roofs.
We can only do our best, and hang in there, hoping things will get better.

You’re correct, I will clear that up in the blog post. I should have done a more thorough reading before I blogged, but blogging at lunch has a 45 minute time limit.

Thanks for the comment though!

Great post!

Just to clarify, though…I never said *women* don’t ever complain and/or treat badly men who put them in the “friend zone.” I said *I* didn’t. I would never say no woman has ever been shitty to a man who didn’t want her, because I don’t believe that for a second.

Just wanted to make that clear.

As to the rest…you know, I really wonder about the ex of mine I described in that post, and whether or not you aren’t right there. Certainly there were moments in our post-relationship friendship where I felt used, Moments where I *was* used. And moments where it was made clear to me that he didn’t intend to fulfill even the most basic “friendship” requirements, like listening when I was upset about something, because we weren’t together anymore so he shouldn’t have to be there for me.

But there were also quite a few moments–most of them–where it was genuinely fun and felt like a real friendship. So I don’t know. Maybe I just don’t feel up at the moment to saying “yeah, he really just used me and treated me like crap, didn’t he?”

It’s an interesting point, though.
