All Comments on 'A Friend from the Past'

A very nice story. Good luck in the contest. The only complaint I have is the length of the story but I know that can't be helped.

Another great story from a great author.

A great story yeah it was a bit long but if it was any shorter it wouldn't have been as good. The detail was what made it long and what also made it such a good story.

However, to tell the truth emotionally it was flat. The spark just wasn't there for me. Thanks for writing.

Good storyline and plenty of detail... Another of your

stories to be enjoyed by us.. Just keep them coming and we'll keep reading and enjoying them...

Well, the reality quotient is a little low, but so what? As always, another great story well-told by a master of romance and drama. I feel lucky today. We get new stories by rachlou and DG Hear in the same day. What could be better?

What a great tale DG. As I've said before, you are the person who inspired me to submit MY stories...thanks again my friend. MoogPlayer

when I read the special forces thing ... I thought "Oh great here we go." But having DJ die in everglades quicksand while John and Aliana just watched... without using any violence .... was VERY good and Nice plot twsit.

Hey Dg! Just wanted to let you know i throughly enjyoyed your story . I thought it was well written .. It was a first of your stories and now i have another favourite author to my collection ..

This story is just another addition to your long list that I completely enjoy. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Big Swamp 1, Bad Guys 0. Great story - full of twists and turns and true love wins out at the end. Well done DG.

from an eclectic writer.My only question is where was Ashley when they made love on the way back to Florida?Pistolpackinpete

Another interesting tale from the master. I am amazed at the novel way of disposing of DJ.

What I fail to see is DGH going for the cliché of "Special Forces". Special ops keeps coming up time and again in stories on Literotica. Either there are too many special ops guys in US or majority of them either have a slut wife or reformed slut. I guess we need to look for newer profession where our heroes could be deadly with their hands.

As usual good interesting work from DG. You had me

worried a bit with the Seal bit but it was a great opportunity to have her wondering what it was.

Please be back with us in the near future.

I much enjoyed this story. It was very well written and made me care about the good guys and hate the bad guys. DJ's death was a special treat, but I hate the thought of him polluting the Everglades, even just the quicksand. Although I do remember coming across some of your other stories, I will check out various ones and see if I also enjoy them. Thanks for a very pleasurable reading experience.

...but a damn fine read! With part of this story being based in the Everglades, I couldn't help but think what a great basis this one would be for a CSI- Miami episode. I can pitcture Horiato tilting his head and speaking in his Captain Kirk-like manner, "Darrell <deep breath> your FRIEND sinking into the quicksand isn't the end. It's only the beginning!" Keep up the good writing.

Another fine tale that is more realistic than most. A true romance is so much fun. You do these so well It's always a joy to see a new one from you. Thanks for an enjoyable read.

A very sweet romance story. It wasn’t as dramatic as some of your stories. I kept waiting for the good guys to get in trouble and then the reversal but it didn’t happen this time. Still a very enjoyable and entertaining read. I noticed that some others commented on the use of the very popular “special forces” cliche’. I have to agree that it is overdone and I really don’t understand why such an accomplished writer, such as yourself, would put that in, especially when it really wasn’t an issue. The part where John took out the two scum bags outside the lounge could have been explained easily without using the “special forces" training. Thank you, again DG. Another fine story to add to your library of literary works

I like it a lot, I prefer longer stories but you did a good job with this one anyway.

<P>

It has love, sex, pathos, drama, conflict and best of all, no stupid melodrama. I'm now going to read some or all of your other stories.

<P>

<P>

PS. melodrama = stupid melodrama

excellent submission, keep up the good work, very imaginative, galen

Good read though it would have been easier and safer to have just killed them in Ohio, no one would put much effort into the investigation of 3 known drug trafficers. Of course then the story would have been shorter and not as interesting. Great job!

Please keep producing romantic treasures like this

This story was great, and i remembered why i like reading your stuff, and have you down as a favorite author.

sorry it took so long for me to find it, gonna go check now and see if i can get up to date

Another good one

You sure know how to keep my attention. I almost burned my supper!

No matter what else there is in it, the idea of a bully getting what's coming to him is a powerful attraction in a story. And of course, two old friends finding each other after years of separation makes good reading also.

You are a superb story teller, and I thank you for the great yarns you've spun for us.

I liked the story. Reading it I didn't stumble over any grammar or spelling problems (maybe my eyesight is going) and the story flowed well.

Thank you.

Especially DJ sinking into the sand. (sort of reminded me of Blazing Saddles) He was not polluting the swamp as a previous anon wrote but just contributing his nutrients to the swamp life. Nice read. 5 Thank you. Jim

Not enough juicy sex scenes for me but what you had were good. A good story with a plot and a happy ending.

You know DG I hate reading your stories because they keep me up until all hour of the morning, I start reading saying I'll read a bit then finish it tomorrow, only trouble I get so engrossed in it I end up reading till its finished and thats usually way passed midnight. Just Don't stop what you are doing, OK.

...from a very good writer. Thank you!

Nice story - good outcome -

Minor language and tense errors and a bit of a stretch for credulity - but fuck it - it was nice heh

Mr. Hear, you did it once again another fairly believeable story. Yes, as tavadelphin says, it is a bit of a stretch BUT it makes for one heck of a good story.

Keep up the fantastic work..

Now don't get me wrong, you can't do much better than that for a compliment. It is another story all together from the other side of the pond(USA). Really enjoyed the tale and know that it probably is a fictionalized version of the facts at best. It showed too much insight to be a real life story. There is always some sort of uncertainty involved that throws a wrench into the way plans work out. It is better this way anyway, there is a good ending with great entertainment.

and this one is sweet beyond compare. Thank you for your literary effort. A "5", and I will return.

A little contrived with the DJ stuff, but the love story was wonderful!

OLD FRIENDS GET TOGETHER LOVE RECINDLED GREAT STORY

RON TEXAS

I really loved this story 5 stars. Please keep writing.

is to be a new love indeed. TK U MLJ LV NV

Yes, you did a great job with this story. It was a great romance about 2 REAL Loving People! This is what love is all about. Thank You for a real good story.

You got me again, good story

Just as great as the first time I read this story.

I really like your stories, they inspire my emotions and hope that you continue to write your stories of inspirations and heroism. In my latter days of my life, hard for me to do the things I once did. Some of your stories remind me of my past life and my hopes. Thank you

yes very good story

Very nice.

Would have liked a little more depth for your heroine though and your hero as well.

LOVED IT AND HOW IT ROLLED ALONG AT A GOOD PACE....PAYBACK IS A BITCH AND THEY PAID THE DRUGGY BACK IN SPADEFULS...GLAD HE WAS DAFT ENOUGH TO DEPOSIT HIS MONEY AND HER AND THE KID GOT IT ALL FOR THEM...A GOOD STORY WELL TOLD...

A married female UPS driver and a single red haired male UPS driver have had been flirting for months. Their planned affair became physical just a few days after 2016 CHRISTMAS. SHE GAVE HER CHILDREN AND THEIR FATHER AN EXTRA SPECIAL PRESENT WHEN SHE MOVED OUT JUST BEFORE NEW YEAR'S DAY!

AFTER DROPPING CHILDREN OFF TO BE WITH THEIR FATHER SHE AND RED RANG IN THE NEW YEAR AT HER NEW APARTMENT

EVIDENCE INDICATES RED IS NOW STAYING WITH HER

BOTH MAKE ME SICK!!!!

what is annon 1/10/17 talking about?

Anyway was good the first time, gets better with ever reading

Don’t know how I missed this one earlier, but I did. Glad I found it. Loved the whole concept, the story details, the plan and the ending. Thank you, well done.

One small thing... You don't buy 30k worth of crack... You buy 30k worth of powder and cook it... Other than that the story was ok... But a little formulaic...

-jaye-

It would have been abetter story still,if he had also sorted out the nasty parents of her child's father.

Great story, keep em coming. You are a very good story teller.

Story reads well but not very realistic as far as dealing with a dangerous drug dealer and his cronies. No former service guy would have led these guys on a twisted path through the everglades without a gun to put these guys away for good. Too much like a Hollywood movie where the bad guys talk about what they are going to do to you when in reality they would have simply shot John and Aliana on the spot without a discussion. We have concealed carry here in the states. Florida was one of the first states to pass concealed carry. A threat to your life is all you need to use lethal force here..The bad guys could have been shot in a Wal mart parking lot and no charges would have ever been filed against John. First rule of staying safe and alive is " Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation". If you cannot avoid the bad guys then take out the bad guys first. As a concealed carry guy " I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six" No slight intended for this author. Just wanted to point at that elaborate stings are unnecessary. Use the KISS principle.

Fantastic story. Some elements may not be 100% realistic but everhthi g worked to keep the tension high enough to keep me interested. Again a great read....just don't listen to the negative Nellie's!!!!

I read this one before but reading it again was like discovering it all over again. An excellent read and many thanks for sharing it with us. I think I should schedule it to read again next earth day.

He is a man, Jim, who is at home in any Society.

I have read quite a few stories and this us not your run of the mill story

I loved it

I gave it a 5, but that's not even close. 100 would be much closer, but not quite enough. Write more, I love it!!

Great story, loved reading it. Very nice job. Keep them going

Its nice to read stories with some content. The sex is good but lets have some story to go with it. Great read keep up the good work waiting for another.

Another well grounded story - 5*

Love the story. AAAA++++

Should have done the job properly and also sorted out the guy who got her pregnant and dumped her.

5 stars ++++ Enjoying most of your stories that I have read (so far).

Got a kickm out of this one, thanks.

Another masterpiece, both in the base story and the love scenes. Five stars +++++.

This is far and away my favorite story on this site.

As far as previous readers who mentioned Florida's open carry law, that law allows you to carry a gun. It does not allow you to shoot someone. If you shoot someone in an open carry state, you need to convince the police that you were right to shoot them. If the police or DA decide to prosecute, you have a burden of proof to prove that you were actually in fear of your safety when you shot. As soon as it goes to trial, it is a "crap shoot."

On the other hand, there is no reason not to tell the police everything about the death of DJ. It does not matter if John intended to lead Darrell to step into quicksand. DJ did not need to follow John and Aliana into the Everglades. The fact that he was too stupid to recognize quicksand when he approached it was on him. Darrell chased them into the Everglades, ran into quicksand, and died. Whether intentional or not what he did was suicide!

Another beautiful and touching love story, even with some of its dark side.

We loved the happy and joyful ending with two longtime loves melting their hearts and souls into one ❤️.

Thank you for a story shared from your heart to ours.

Wonderful story. They all got theirs. Darrell got his in a posh setting in the Everglades. Alaina got hers when she married and conceived with the man she loved all her life. Ashley got a new daddy, a home and a new little brother to boss around, and John got his from a wife and daughter that thought he was the best thing ever. Alaina could proudly say, "my husband" and Ashley will say " Daddy "for the rest of her life. They are each other's lives! This is a wonderful story, JUST LIKE ALL OF YOUR STORIES!!

What a great story. I gave it 5 stars. That was quite the plan dealing with DJ and his two underlings. Loved the story!!!

Nicely written, I love a happy ending.

For me DJ was a big dumb brain, the plan should be more clever and less obvious

Anyway, storie well written and a pretty god idea of a story.

Awwwww. :) Thank you for writing this; did me good to read it.

Nice story!

Nice story. However you should try to make your caracters a bit more real. He and your other heroes are all so noble. In this story why can’t the female lead be a stronger woman? The child speaks sometimes like a grownup or an older girl. That is my opinion.

Second time reading this, and it's still great. Don't ya just love happily ever after ?. LP

Great on the re-read too!

Very well developed. At no time did any information or circumstance seem a stretch or out of place. I never doubted that a special Forces team of 3 would be threatened by a loud mouth bully drug dealer...We were taught to try and know thy enemy...Guess cocky DJ was over confident. Special Ops guy are hard to beat on foreign soil...A home game No sweat GI

This story is a 4-star with the quicksand a fitting end for the villain. The author could have had a field day describing Darrell's panic as he slowly ever so slowly sank to his doom. Loved this part a bit too much I fear but ......

Third time of reading, still enjoy it , probably read it again soon

Second time of reading, still a 5 Star story

second time reading very good will read again

My guess was that DJ was going to end up as alligator food. Breaks my heart that I was so terribly wrong. Thanks for the 5 star story.

Just like all good fairytales, 'And they all lived happily ever after'.

This has been and continues to be one of my favorite stories. I started to read it again and stopped at the first line of the second paragraph about the lumber business. For whatever reason, I suddenly remember something that I read somewhere years ago. I think the U.S. needs to take a lesson from Germany.

It is my understanding that the Germans have been logging the Black Forest since before the British had any colonies in North America! The thing is that they manage the forest so that they replant to keep it healthy.

I'm not sure what the variety of the trees are in that forest, but I think there needs to be a balance between clear cutting and doing what we have done in So Cal where our forests have about 10 times as many trees as our rain and snowfall will support! Trees out here are dying because the overcrowding of trees has resulted in weak trees being unable to fight off infestations of bark beetles! In addition, we regularly get massive forest fires all over the state like the ones that wiped out the town of Paradise in the northern part of the state a few years ago!
