All Comments on 'Through the Fire Pt. 01'

As always, nicely crafted, looking forward to the remaining parts

WOW!!! Another great start to another great series. Please continue to write stories please Sir.

Can't wait for the next one!

tissues in hand, anticipation high

Brilliant start, you have me hooked. Hope the next chapters will be coming soon.

Thank you so very much for this one. *****

I enjoy reading your stories. This is one I like a lot. AAAAAA++++++

I am in trouble if you are warning of the need of tissues in part 2. Fantastic start and so realistic. I am eagerly awaiting the next part. Thank you.

Have tissues ready? What did I just go through? You must have meant have a new box ready.

Part two has been submitted for publishing 😁

As a retired firefighter, I had times where I interacted with burn victims of all ages. Your character of Brian has the same thoughts and emotions of those I met. For “ordinary, everyday people”, they will never know the emotions and anguish burn victims must deal with. Thank you for starting this awesome story, you have shown light on those brave, tortured souls. I am looking forward to the rest of this story.

I'm always on the watch for new stories from you, and this one is off to a great start. The character development is strong, and we already have a mystery to follow. Many thanks!

Thank you for this part. Looking forward to the next part.

Gosh darn it, Other. You're a poet. And at times I hate you for it. This looks like the start of another promising story. Looking forward to the next installments. Tears and smiles, just like always with your stories. Another instant favourite. If this turns out your version of Beauty and the Beast, I'm down for it. Looking at your past work, I know you'll treat your characters with the respect they deserve.

Except DuMont. May he grow a boil on his Johnson the size of 2 AUD coin. Just on the inside of his foreskin, near the head.

Absolutely another great story. You should of mentioned tissues for this installment.

Beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You're pre-warning about chapter 2? I needed it for this chapter. 5*, again.

A really nice start! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ding ding ding, round 1 already made us drop to a knee, cant wait for the next round !!!

Excellent start! 5 stars.

I really hope that the gentle giant gets pushed too far and goes medieval on Dumont's ass in chapter 2.

Good story dealing with understanding. It's always difficult dealing with people with disabilities. The ones with disfiguring problems but normal mentally maybe easier as you can converse with them normally, at least in my mind. A lot of us just try and ignore disabilities because it bothers us so called normal people. This was a very good story and perhaps we will all have a little more understand from reading it. Remember one of the old phrases you or someone else has said? But for the grace of God there goes me. 5 stars

This feels like it's going to be one of your really good ones, which means we readers are getting really lucky. Thanks for sharing with us.

Damn you - always with the tears. Hope the releases come quickly! 5.0*

Great things can happen for great people if they allow it!

Lovely beginning. I can anticipate awaiting eac chapter with intense anticipation.

A brave topic. I have no doubt you will handle it with aplomb, while I will navigate it with Kleenex. Seems fair to me. 5!

I am very glad you are back to writing. This has the start of a wonderful story.

Just love your work this one is a really great beginning…

5 stars

Ah "woman ex machina" again. Absolutely hilarious how this author's protagonists always get some woman out of thin air

Damn you lol hooked again. Enjoy your stories so much

Well don! I am interested in where you are going to take this. Love your Other work.

I can't imagine what's next as I've already delved into the tissue box several times. Thank you for what you do.

Nice start to another great story! Always on the lookout for your stuff.

Oh, that’s really different for on here.

Good plot line so far.

Nice writing, good description and characters

This one really resonates with me. I'm a burn victim not as bad as him but I burned got burns from protecting my sister from boiling water being spilled on her and they cover my part of my back and my left arm i usually wear a slave now because kids stared and it mafe me and their parents uncomfortable but i understand wanting to hide yourself and scars. Thank you for this story it's beautiful

Burn unit, not Burns unit. And it's "Come on", not "Common" Two completely different things. 4*

Retired surgical technician. Combat medic. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

More Tissues? Awesome tale, Brian seems to be realizing he has much to offer.

I HAVE LIKED EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WRITTEN 5 STARS YES BUT YOU HAVED MADE THIS FEEL MORE PERS

ONAL TO READ

An outstanding beginning! Looking forward to the future chapters!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I think I'm going to invest in tissue stocks, this is starting out as e real "tear jerker" and will likely continue, It is really well written, like all your other stories. Looking forward to part 2..

Good story like the way you are weaving it. waiting for the next part

5 stars so far, a deeply touching story with an interesting mystery girl calling the MC her hero. Definitely look forward to the next chapter.

Amazing story and writing, definitely one of the best stories I have been able to read recently.

Wonderful, can't wait for more!

You capture the attention so well, no waffling or distractions from the plot, its a wonder that your not writing for a living, or are you?

Special sale to the readers: Tissues for just $20.

You will need at least 5 before this series is over.

The numbers may not say it, but this author belongs in the Hall of Fame for dealing with sensitive issues with great finesse.

Thanks O2O1

A well put together story about a very sensitive subject. An Army colleague of mine was badly burned when a missile hit and exploded causing a massive fire. He suffered massive burns but after many operations and therapy he is his old self obvious scarred. I do not see the scars I see a really good man that suffered this tragedy but has come out of it and nothing stops him from living and helping others injured like himself.

Damm your good, I got so emotional reading just this first part. Keen to know who Theo is and how he knows Brian.

I loved the attitude of his sister too, she has spunk!

How the hell aren't you writing professionly, you are an amazing talent.

Looking forward to part 2, I see you noted you have submitted it!

That was such a brilliant start to this series, I almost needed the tissues in this one so I will be getting a box in for the next one

Another great story start. Glad to see you back!! Can’t wait for part.

With great admiration,

Cybercritter!❤️

I hate allergy season, I had a hard time reading this through watering eyes and runny nose. Very well written, with full on emotion. Enjoying this tale……. Should be a Hallmark movie. Looking forward to the next part.

Thank you for sharing

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Made me cry. Years ago I had my leg amputated below the knee. I was in my wheelchair for a PTA meeting. Being a volunteer kids talked to me, asking what happened. But parents pulled their kids away as if I was contagious. I understand about Brian feeling like a "freak". Looking forward to the next chapter

My compliments!

I've been looking forward to this since you announced it on your profile, and I'm glad it's here.

I hope the next chapters arrive in short order, after all the set-up in chapter one, I'm anxious.

I admire how you introduce characters. It's very well done. As I'm learning, it's hard to do in a short-story format, so I get how much effort goes into this.

-

Be well!

for part 2.

Awesome start, tissues already used!

I really hate stories that make me tear up. I was burned myself on both hands and part of my face but no where near what is described here. 5 stars for this and the rest of the story no matter how it turns out.

Yes, I could go for more, a lot more...

Hell of a start. I'm looking forward to see how this one develops. 5*

Oh my, this is almost too emotional. All I can say for now, when is the next one ready. Thank you!!

Outstanding! I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapters. Five stars!

This was quite the excellent start, I liked how you exposed the fear, the panic and how Brian slowly isolated himself, always expecting the worst on others.

If I were to make a request, knowing this is Lowing Wives, please don't be too mean to him, the story could be quite depressing.

Very cool that you wrote again. Brian DuMont seems to be a mix of two villains: Philippe Du Monte (classic literary villain that the author original never punished and others had to do so); and Lord Voldemort, who didn't like being named after someone else.

And the idea of ​​the character being a burned victim is a different approach. 5 stars

Dang John, I almost broke out the tissue while Brian interacted with the children. Beautiful story! Dang what a story and can hardly wait for part 2, thank you! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s.

10 Big Blazing Stars for John Other, I almost need tissues myself already. Thanks for the great effort to write such a 'tear jerker' story. Good Job so far, as always. Thanks, Buster2U

Thank you!

Thank you for giving me one of the very very few opportunities to let go of my tears.

Your story did it and did it so well.

Your main character described the feelings of the “outsider freak” so well that I just wonder how you could mirror my feelings.

Though I must concede that I am not a burn victim, I have numerous external and internal scars from accidents, cancers and - unvoluntary - fights. Plus the invisible scars of being a foreign child, uprooted oh so many times during childhood, bullied and worse.

Thanks to a few people like you, I encountered some situations where I could vent me feelings before they turned me into a person only looking for revenge.

So, thanks again for writing so powerful and well!

And thank you for sharing it with us!

Fantastic start to the story. I can’t wait to see where this goes. Once again, you have outdone yourself.

Start of a wonderful series. You are up with the best story-tellers. Please keep writing...

Very interesting. I share the same name and build as your main character and have carried many scars from a childhood incident (not burns.) Now I want to see what else you can pen that reflects what I have lived.

I am more than glad I have waited until all four chapters were published to start reading. I would not have been happy having to wait for the chapters to be published. What a story. Not enough stars or superlatives. Your story telling and writing skills set the curve.

Damn, you made me cry again.

You're an exceptional talent and thanks for giving us another moving story. You're great at making your characters people we can relate to and feel comfortable with. Few authors can do this, you are one of the best at it.

What an amazing start to this story, I look forward to reading each chapter. As for te tears, I have already cried reading this part.

This story is making me cry.

My brother was a burn patient. When he was 3, he was following our cousin around at the beach. There were concrete firepits scattered around the beach, probably 4 feet in diameter. My cousin was walking along the edge and across these rocks that were inside. My brother being far too small lost his balance and stepped into the pit. Someone had a fire there the night before and just covered the embers with sand. My brother had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his left foot up past his ankle. He never lost his toes thank God but he had to have a few skin grafts from his thigh. He was in the hospital for over a month. His foot is still scarred. That's nothing compared to this boy from my middle school. He was stuck inside a burning van. He was terribly disfigured. No one treated him poorly from what I remember and he always seemed happy. Still, the poor kid was far worse than out main character.

Amazingly well thought out and written. An emotional subject treated well and with respect.

Made the mistake of reading this in public. Now I've got tears in my eyes and trying not to embarrass myself. Great read!

Those darn onions again. 5 stars and more.

I tend to love reading your stories and this one is different and starts a bit slower build up than you traditionally to develop your introduction to the characters. That being said being a fan I said let me see where this is going and as per usual not disappointed shed a tear before I even finished this chapter. Well done. I once had !n acting teacher who said if a member of the audience come up to you after a show and said you almost made me cry you haven't done your job. Kudos on a job well done

As always excellent story well told by an incredible writer

WOW! What an emotional story. Do hope that Ava and DuMont get their comeuppance. Maybe the twins end up with Brian and ?

I was an anaesthetics nurse and worked for a few years in burns. You reduced me to tears and I thank you. Your descriptions are impeccable and on the very slim chance that anyone feels that Ava and bellend are unrealistic I had a patient whose own father (well sperm doner) used a similar term for her, to her.

Damn.......you are such a great writer!!!

Iv enjoyed every story Ive read from you, and this is not exception. Damn onions. Great work!
