The Perfect Pieces Ch. 13

Something is twisted

when you can make me like unsavory characters. As I have said before, you are the most amazing writer I have encountered in over 60 years of reading. With a good publisher and editor you could make some serious money. I don't joke about good books. The fact that you have provided your stories to me as a gift, asking for no money, is not something I will forget.

Who are you... really...

Said it best. I feel very honored to have shared in these written adventures and I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I closed my eyes and could envision each stained glass piece and piece of glass that Mark described, perfectly! You are a true literary master and the entire world should know of the gift that you possess. I only wish that I had two copies of each story (paper and hardback). One for my library shelves (display) and one for my bedroom bookcase (reading). You are a literary marvel!

Rotten characters

And about 10 chapters too many.

Ignore the last comment.

Negative comments by anonymous readers should always hold no sway. I wish it had been longer.

Thank you

I just finished reading everything you have published here, many of them for the second time, and they are every bit as wonderful as when I first encountered them. A few minor quibbles over grammatical errors, but the quality of the stories quickly overcame that. Thank you for keeping me entertained.

Who are you?!!!!

Gosh where to begin? I've read everything you have written and then a second time in some cases. I've never told my wife but OH HOW I WANT TO! I want so much to share with her the richness of life I find in your writings. Yes I really would like to know who you are and if you are published under a different name and then again no I don't. For me you are hidden treasure which has helped to love my wife on some many deeper levels. Thank you with all my gratitude, thank you.

Warmly and with gratefulness,

Nico

Again and again...

I come back to read your stories! Including your latest which is huge in terms of pages. Read it twice already!

Thank you for sharing on Lit, for free!

Your ability to draw us readers in is amazing as is your character development.

If you publish, I'd love to know.

Thanks you.

Lead-free

Wow, what a roller coaster. Very, very well written. I will read all your published prose here on Lit. I don't know of your personal or professional constraints, but I for one like longer chapters. Being purely selfish of course, but you don't know the whims or musings of your tribe until they are presented. Thanks for a wonderful tale and hope to expound with more exuberance at future readings.

Read all your stories ❤️❤️

Perfect

A rare story, thank you for sharing it.

Captivating

I have read your writings. Some twice over. You a have a blend of charm and style. You writings never fail to leave me softly sighing and and smiling. Doesn't get much better than this. Look forward to more.

Sensational

What a sensational story and a delight to read.

Short... Long...

...It's what's inside that matters.
And You Sir, have so much inside. I can't get enough.
I do have to say, I prefer one chapter with 23 pages, over 13 chapters at 1-2 pages each. It may be easier on Tim and Lit, but I would rather click the next page, than have to go back and find the next chapter (If I can remember which one I just read).
Regardless, I will always be Anxious to start, Scared of the twist, Happy to be sucked into the mind of your characters and sad when it end.
Regardless of how you cut it, you never fail to earn 5 Stars.
Thank You!

Nice ending

This is a comment for all 13 chapters.

I have to admit that I was quite angry and disappointed that Amber was the bad guy but was pleasantly surprised that she ended up being a nice shade of grey. Lizzie ended up being my favorite, she was just too sweet to resist.

I loved the entire story!

Listen to this song

Please listen to "Pretend - by Scott Porter" it was the first thing I remembered after reading this wonderful story. You won't regret it :)

One of Your Best.

Thank you for this thoroughly enjoyable gem with its so appealing three characters. As I said previously, the rich dialogue and plot twists gave readers mini-cliffhangers from paragraph to paragraph. Would have been such a loss to have trashed the story, and in the future if you ever even consider such a thing with one of your pieces please allow your readers to decide. This is as good as any of your works I have read in my opinion except two. Care to guess?

Excellent Material to Read.Absolutely Marvellous from 1-13. and to Tim413413 for selfless editing

A little too Imaginative?

How many kids would she have been responsible for killing with the drugs she peddled? It seems that prison doesn't do a very good job at rehabilitation---perhaps the drug pushers should all be set free from jail so they can self-rehabilitate like Amber, without retribution? You are a fantastic writer with tremendous imagination, although you stretched it a little too far this time.
