Thanks."and the reddish light changing to purple across the waves" on a really excellent story. Poor Cristina and Julie. But commitment is good and wins in the end. A lot of work went into writing these episodes Jolly. And the effort paid off. Brilliant!
Cheers. Not sure where I'd go with a sequel yet. I'll consider it. Mickey is a fun character to write. Still, the way it is now, he's in a bit of a tight spot.Well, Pilgrim, it wasn't the ending I expected and seems like one of those newfangled Hollywood things where is it doesn't sell they let you die there but if it does you set yourself up for sequel. Personally, I'd prefer the sequel. Can't see you wasting good writing talent dyin' on that cross...
I like the word "yet".Not sure where I'd go with a sequel yet.
So many questions are waiting for an answer.You have to bring back Mickey for more adventures
That's really nice, Madiosi. Many thanks!
A literal cliffhanger...he's in a bit of a tight spot.
...so he must have gotten away somehow, but not in perfect shape...a visit that would culminate in at least one miscarriage of justice, several deaths, and leave me out of the running for any future Olympic trials.
This time I was really little perplexed when it comes to the cover. Very relieved that it likes. The Story is in the libary.That's really nice, Madiosi. Many thanks!
Sorry, man. But I think it's great.This time I was really little perplexed when it comes to the cover.
No worries at all. I appreciate the comments, both positive and critical. I can't remember now whether I was really planning a sequel. I know it was mentioned somewhere. I do realize that the ending is not "neat" or wrapped up, and resembles a cliffhanger. However, if you read pulp novels (which is one of my little pleasures), the endings are not always in the favour of the protagonist. Indeed, the story that provided the idea for this story, and for the Mickey character, ended with the main character in an ambiguous position. My own view of this story is that, since he's not dead, but still alive and annoyed, the ending is far from sure. I did enjoy writing it, and I do occasionally toy with the idea of doing another one, but I need to have a good plot, rather than shoot out something shoddy. Thanks very much for reading and for your comments. Much appreciated.Jollyrei. With much regret to be a wet blanket to the praise party, and with the highest respect for your tremendous writing skills, nevertheless have to say reading this tale now with yet no sequel in 2019 that the ending just sucks. Understand that the protagonist facing death watching the sunset rather than riding off into it having saved the girl has appeal to the creative mind, but have some mercy on your more pedestrian readers. This story, with your genius for the most engaging internal and external dialogue among the characters, deserves much more. Had to say it. With all due apologies.
