The Outland Chapter 6

[bmshirts]

Very interesting chapter. Rob slowly warming up to the new, happy Jack, and to Ennis. His telling Ennis how bad off Jack was before the accident. I'm sure that will bring up guilt feelings in Ennis and also some interesting Q & A conversation between Ennis and Jack. I hope Ennis moves right back into the trailer and into bed with Jack.
How long before Rob figures out that there's much more between his dad and Ennis than mere friendship, that Ennis is the one Jack was/is having the affair with? Does he love his dad enough to want him happy and to accept the relationship?
Thanks. Carole

Interesting questions - I don't know the answers yet! While I know where the story is going, the minor detours are still a mystery to me.

Thanks

I can't add anything to what has already been said. Marvelous writing. I love how you have written Rob. He's a real person. Just like you have taken AP's Jack and Ennis and breathed more life into them.

Keep up the good writing, I'm waiting for the next episode. Hope Real Life doesn't get in the way of your next posting.

I've had enough of RL for the moment, like most of us. I'm happy playing with these characters whose fates I can control. Thanks for reading and commenting. Much appreciated.

I can't add anymore than it has already bee said. Your writing is exceptional. Anytime an author gives Bobby his view of how he felt about his daddy and mamas separation its special, and you have.
Thank you.

I always thought Bobby didn't get a great slice of luck in the OS, maybe even less than Ennis's girls.

This was a great chaper, simply great. Loved reading about Jack and Ennis and the rest of the family from Bobby's pov, especially since he hasn't been around his dad for awhile and has had time to think about him. Pretty sure he hasn't figured out anything, though -- sounds like he's still in the dark about that much. Maybe when he comes back in the summer? [Oh and I loved how the first thing he did when he went to Gillette was to ditch Jack & Ennis at the hospital and go and get fast food! LOL! Nothing like a nice hot meal of fried grease! Typical!] The glimpse he had of the turquoise truck before the cloud covered it from his view makes me worry just a bit though. I'm looking forward to reading more soon.

I think that might just be my fondness for the turquoise truck, which I've had the pleasure of riding in (and on).

I also think Bobby is clueless but it might turn out otherwise :D

Beautiful, beautiful writing

This is just exquisite writing, it's almost like poetry it's so beautiful. I can't praise this story enough. It was amazing to experience life on the ranch and to see the bond between Ennis and Jack through Bobby's eyes. I hope we get to read Ennis's thoughts on the things Bobby told him...

Re: Beautiful, beautiful writing

I'm pleased you liked life on the ranch, especially since I barely know a thing about ranch life :D
And Ennis certainly has some thinking to do.
