Ahhh... Nathan is one of the few without GPS! (Like me!)
I've been to that point of almost out of gas. Scary feeling. I can imagine I'd be shaking and all freaked out if this happened to me. The low gas light gets me all worried as it is, let alone not have a memory as to what I was up to for HOURS.
I'm glad there's more. Good thing I'm a little behind. :)

I mean, really. Consider that. Waking up and not having a clue. I'd wig out for sure.
Thanks again,

Nathan seems to have an unhealthy attachment to Cathy. He is too shy to introduce himself so he spies on her. He can't remember how he got to the parking lot. He really needs help.

He sure does, Ready. Wonder if he'll ever get it?
Thanks for the R&R!

Comment from joelh605
A life of loneliness and fear gave him the ability to empathize with her loss and he began to build a connection in his mind.
You're explaining how the fine artist morphs into Bad Bart. We need to know this. There's some risk of wandering into "tell" country, but I didn't see it happening here.
The bit about deciding to get to know her casually is odd - his alter ego Norman was way ahead of him on that score (Suzi's disappearance, e.g.) - do we get to learn what happened to Nathan that brought Norman to life?

A short time later he read about her accident and subsequent blindness and as much as he was able,
"as much as he was able" is one of those parenthetical phrases, so it needs a comma before the first "as"

Hey Joel, that 'telling' is one of my things and I try so hard not to, but there are times. Keep an eagle eye peeled, if you will. Thanks for the great comments and ideas.
Hugs,
Gayle

Five, as usual... what a gripping story this STILL is! I'm not getting bored yet... I say that because before joining f.s. last month, I had not read for seven years (until age 52 a compulsive reader) In fact, I gave 15,000 books away when we moved here!
Congratulations. Many thanks, also.
Pat.

I have to think how it all might have turned out if Nathan had just gone up to her at Starbucks or something, introduced himself and went from there. No need for Norman, maybe. Who knows?

You have done a terrific job of showing Nathan as a mental case. His feelings toward Cathy can become dangerous on a moment notice. Good job.

Gayle,
Poor Nathan is really fractured. I want to see how you resolve all this and will follow your future chapters. I couldn't find anything here to criticize.

Comment from Korton
Another interesting chapter, Gayle. Nathan is experiencing gaps in time, while Norman works his mischief. We still don't know however if Norman made it all the way to the farm. Very well done.

Hey Frank,
I've done a good bit of research on DID and almost all the time, when the 'other' personality comes out to play, the host is unaware. Sometimes, depending on the situation, the 'other' personality just leaves the host in the middle of something he has no idea about. That's how Norman deals with Nathan. Regardless of when, where or what Nathan is doing at the time, if Norman wants out, out he comes.
Must be a horrible existance, BTW. Can you just imagine? I have enough trouble just making my characters behave. Just think about another personality. NOT!
Thanks
Gayle

To showtimebook,
A short story describing a man's illusive behaviour after being trapped with his thoughts when he loses all aspect of where he is.
He becomes enchanted with a blind woman and wishes to find out more about her but realizes it was just his mind playing tricks with him after waking up after three days.

Hi Charlene,
So nice to make a new friend. Seems you've come into a strange "first" chapter and I bet you wonder what the heck is going on. If you want, there's still bucks on some of the earlier chapters. If you catch up, you'll like the story better.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again<
