Lovely to have the friends and to have decent weather. I worry about the winter though. But this continues to be compelling writing. Well done. I'm looking forward to the next one. x

Comment from LJbutterfly
Your story is well paced and is flowing smoothly. There are details I wonder about, but think it best to let the story unfold as you remember things. I'm glad your friends brought clothes and food so you could eat something other than canned pasta. I know you never return to your parents, but wonder your next moves out of the woods. Don't forget to tell us how long you were in the woods.

Oh, yes, absolutely that time will come up shortly. However between you and me, I spent almost 6 months there October came and I had no choice but to seek warmth.
Thank you again for all of your reviews you've done for me today it's truly a special thing.
May I ask what your name is? Thank you!

I enjoyed, what I may call a rant. I will read your auto bio Chost asap. An interesting approach. I feel there is a lot to discover. There always is.
Take care and have a wonderful day.
Cheers

Comment from BethShelby
I like the fact that you give us a bit of you situation of today as well as what happened in the past. I'm wondering about your present family who have taken what you had and left you in one small space. Yet I think at one time you mentioned it was your turn to cook so that means you don't live alone. Anyway, I'm sure you'll tell us more. If you lived int boot camp 6 weeks that must have make you more than capable of living in the woods. It is good you have friends willing to help. Looking forward to more.

Hi Beth, good to see you and have your review once again. I do not have a present family is unfortunately the ones I grew up with have found a way to take from me my house my vehicle I no longer tell them where I'm at. I don't give them any more chances. They get nothing from me again. I have nothing except my writing. So I will not hear from them again until there's something they think they want to take, I have not spoken to them in short time. No, it is better for me that way. Thank you very much that you're concerning your compassion. And your kind words are pure gold to me. Thank you, have an awesome night!
Comment from Jim Wile
You had a couple of good friends there, Lea, willing to take the chances they took for you and for being as supportive as they were. No one can go it completely alone, just as no one can live exclusively on Alpha Ghetti O's, and it's nice to know you had some loyal help.
It's interesting and sad to hear how you wondered what your parents were thinking about your absence even though you knew in your heart they probably wouldn't care. What a position to be in! This remains a fascinating tale of survival. - Jim

Jim, your interest continues to flatter me. I hope, and I'm glad people are getting something from this. And you're right nobody can live on canned pasta forever! My family is high up in Canadian social services. One of them is a policy Maker. That is why I was not helped. That is why no one cared if I disappeared or not. I just didn't know it at the time. I will write about it in future chapters. The "whys" are much bigger than we know. Thank you so much again, Jim. Make sure you have some alphabetic for dinner. I'm kidding, LOL.

Hi, Lisa, thank you so much for your review. I sure hope you had a nice lunch with your friends. You're in such a beautiful place. I can't imagine anything nicer. And the history of the land that you're in amazing.
I welcome you along with journey with me to read this. Note that some of it is hard. But also I believe necessary. This is my way closing the door on a lot of bad things. I appreciate you and your comments, I hope you're having a great day. Oh, congratulations on your win, too by the way, excellent! YOU ROCK!
-
Hi Lea!!
What win?
Lisa

Sorry I can't remember which one it was. I should have given you the name I have to go back and look. I'm sure I saw your name on the contest list. For winning stuff. I'll go back and check. Hey, I hope you're having a great day!

Okay, sounds like a plan... the last one I won was ages ago...
Lisa
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Another excellent story and this is a cumulative rating for all the times I've not been able to reward you properly! Your reader is every bit engaged with you in the forest, experiencing your hunger, feeling your excitement and, possibly above all, your curiosity as to how your parents are reacting to your absence. Lovely dialogue (in my view one of the hardest elements to get right). Well done, Lea, your story is flowing superbly! Debbie

Thank you so much for this. I so appreciate it and I still appreciate your reviews too. You always have some such cool things to say. And thought for provoking it's loud, always a wonderful. Thank you for coming along on this journey. And I shall say so again, I'm sure. Thanks for the awesome reading and for your friendship. I hope you have an awesome day!
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Ugh. That's a loooong time to have been in the woods alone. Did your friends ever give you insight into what your parents were doing? Or your sister? Was it harder or easier to return to the woods once you'd had a shower and brushed your teeth and been in a "real" house again? How did these visits come about? And how frequently? Did you ever come close to being caught? What did you do with your long days away from civilization? What were some of the other methods you used to steal food? And the places? Any close calls? These are questions that I'm sure I'm not the only reader who wonders about. This chapter, I think, needs to be expanded upon. Maybe even made into several chapters. Inquiring minds want to KNOW!! :) xoxoxox

Yeah, I think you're right that occurred to me too. Re write a couple of things and split that into 2 I will do so first thing you are so smart you know, you point out things that really need to be looked after. I appreciate that about you and for your review too I appreciate that as well! Yeah, it was a long time almost 6 months. Can have some fun moments. I did get to leave a couple of times go up to the lakes in the mountains fish. Love fishing...especially fly fishing!
Oh I think I'll label a couple of runs that i had to do. And no my parents didn't lift a finger. People lie for 2 reasons, protect someone else or protect themselves. And that's what they were doing.
Yes, I had a couple of close calls, I'll mention those two i've been I mean, we're gonna, I'll let you know when it's done, thank you again, have a great evening! I also think we're looking at two books ...explain later!
