RE: Echoes of Tommorrow's Past - Part 4 (My Original Novella)

Oh, man! You really dug a deep hole there. It's hard to just sum everything up in a matter of hours. Imagine, your whole life being whittled down to an hour. I wouldn't even know the memories I would put in there. Surely there are a lot of sacrifices to be made.

Masterful stuff, my bro! That tense hook at the end really carried the whole chapter. So much potential! What is Dr. Grey and Kim up to? What happened to James' mother? So many questions in my head. Definitely a mind bender! Great stuff, brother :D

Sort:  

Hey, my bro!

Man, thanks for the awesome comments! I've been on a roller coaster of busyness these last few days. Last night around 1am, I went to sleep just after reading your latest chapter. Gonna put my thoughts up on that in a bit. But suffice to say, you just continue to impress me everytime.

Your feedback is invaluable to me. And man, you've done me a big favour too! Helping me see the direction you think the story will take! I really appreciate that because I can tell you, it's going off at a complete different hook from you one you're hinting at!

The last thing I want to be is predictable so you letting me know what your thoughts are helps so much! And just to clarify, this story's narrative was finished a while back so I promise you I'm not changing it as I go along. I know what happens from start to finish and just need to put it all in writing, lol.

James's mother committed suicide that same day after seeing him off to school when he was fourteen. This was his last memory of her but that image seems to have haunted him throughout his life. He never quite got over the fact that he never got to say goodbye...

So I can only hope you'll like the angle I'm gonna use for this one, my bro!

Bless you right down the socks you wear on your feet, lol! An inspiration to us all, good sir. Thanks! :)

I'm glad to be of service any way I can, brother! I await patiently to read about your thoughts :D Yeah, it's always great to be unpredictable, and it's quite hard to do especially once you have established an identity. You have to think of ways that your fans don't expect, but still make everything coherent.

Oh shoot... I didn't know that. Wait a minute! Why was I supposed to say sorry for his loss! HAHAHA! He's a fictional character for God's sake. That's your power, man. That's your power haha Was it mentioned before? I don't recall reading that. Did I miss it or did it slip my mind? Perhaps I need to make a trip to Digital Realities to recover that memory.

I just double checked, but yep, was mentioned back in Part 2.

”I guess so.” He acknowledged. ”I’m just… scared, is all. You know… My mother committed suicide when I was fourteen. The last recollection I have is of her waving goodbye to me by the front door. Later that same day, the school informed me that she was gone. It was devastating, Dr. Gray. I’ve been an orphan for most of my life now.” He sat forward and leaned his arms upon the Doctor’s desk. ”I just don’t want to relive that horrifying ordeal all over again.”

But it's kool, bro. I'm so busy lately I could have easily missed it out, lol. Again, your feedback is invaluable. So looking forward to my journey through this story.

Bless you, man! :)

Ah shoot, sorry about that, brother. I read every word, so it must've just slipped my mind. I'm terribly busy as well, as you can imagine. Juggling lots of thoughts in my head. Man, I'm so bummed I missed out on that important detail...

Please don't apologise, bro! As you said, you're in a crazy busy space right now. I'm just glad you stopped by when you got the time. :)
