Sometimes It Goes the Other Way

[glaenconer]

Ennis’s boss took off his glove to shake good-bye, said Ennis was a hard worker, never got into fights over the woeful imbalance in the male to female ratio, said he was sorry to see Ennis go.  Ennis appreciated that more than the man would ever know, but despite the remoteness and high pay, he couldn’t stay here now, couldn’t stay anywhere unless

Sweet music!

I love the style, the lyrical spareness of this story. Not a wasted syllable, not a word out of place, and no dithering around with anything that takes away from the elegance of bare bones.

A lovely performance.

Oh yes, you are going in the direction I like. They are telling each other the important things, making plans to do what they have to do to be together. Thank you for this wonderful chapter. Hopefully the Monkey's Paw is gone for good. S!

It sure ain't neat and tidy, but they're together and they admit that it's what's most important to them. that always makes me happy.

Evenin'.

Well, again you've taken elements of OS, and they've gone a different way. Ennis quitting his job to be with Jack, but not just for a few days but all the time. Earl a loner, not with Rich, ended up castrated, but the same effect on Ennis. Jack realizing the chasm, but not shying away this time afraid of losing Ennis but talking through it. And Ennis now accepting that they are different, not wanting to be alone and lonely for the rest of his life, so talking it through too and so they can be together always.

Yes, just a few words spoken rather than held back, acting rather than hesitating, can make a difference in one's life.

Thanks again.

I'm glad that Ennis is admitting that he want to be with Jack. I hope they can make it work.

I'm really enjoying this story. I'm looking forward to your next update. : )
