I struggle to find words for how amazing this story is. My soul aches. Thank you for continuing to show us Prize's path.
Breathtaking. Sensual. Heartbreaking.
Indeed, your characters - so wonderfully crafted - must tell their story, and you allow them, particularly Prize, with deft 'simplicity'.
From Chapter One I knew this was different; you are a writer of most remarkable talent.
I am moved by this series, both as a writer and reader. In every loving nuance of text, I can see clearly your truth - that you were born to be a writer.
'Danny fell asleep in his arms and felt safe and loved.' A much desired sensual scene patiently fulfilled. Dear gentle writer, you toy with our minds and emotions. Is this what it was like to be a participant in an opium den? I cry tears of complex joy, tears of supreme loss, only to be erotically aroused, and then tossed in with the maggots named Maycott. I drift lost in swirling clouds of memory, dreams, and your numbingly beautiful writing. Tickets for the rest of this voyage are safely secured near my heart.
I've received a few questions about chapter 12, and it's coming. It's coming slowly because there is a lot of ground to cover and the characters are pushing their own agendas again.
Thank you for all your constructive comments and the hearts. You've helped me get this far in the story. Now to get everyone in line and bring The Farm to its conclusion.

Banal tale of repeated abuse. Not particularly interesting. And about 10 chapters too long.
I need to know what happens next! Your writing is pure poetry! So beautiful and I get completely lost. I hope there is more soon - I also hope poor 'Prize' gets the ending he deserves with Tom.
