Hello Brett: It's great to see that Cody is standing up to his bullies and not taking any crap from anyone. That bully had it coming - accusing Cody of one day becoming just like his bio-dad. In most cases of abuse and extreme abuse the horror of it all will make the kid or break the kid. I believe that his horrible abuses from Earl will make Cody a stronger person, one not capable of repeating the abuses on others. I am happy though that he is strong enough and angry enough to stand up to his bullies.

I was happy to hear some of Cody's thinking and his memories of the women who frequented with Earl, also the torturing of the other animals. It really helps me to clear up nay misunderstandings of how disgustingly horrible Earl teally is and was.

I am still following this story - It really has me eager to see what will happen next. You are an exceptional writer.

This is a gruesome story anyone who would torture a cat., or any animal for that matter deserves to be shot. I think of what Michael Vick did to his dogs and I can't believe he has been hired by ESPN.

    Dog fighting, cat mowing, it's all the same and has no place in society.

I see a little of your story in Cody's story. I don't know why I haven't followed it before.



"Animals are nothing more than stupid, worthless, critters that need to be eliminated, like you!" Earl Anthony Schroder repeatedly told him each time he terminated one of them. (I hate him already. )

This is a great story, very well-written, the description word choice was perfect. It was just enough for the reader to see what's going on but too much that it slows the story. The dialogue seems natural what the characters would say. The characters, especially Cody really came to life. Great job.

Good chapter, and now onto the next.

Good character development. I really like Cody, and I loved this part best:

Without a word, Cody walked over to where Spencer stood on the curb tormenting him. He cocked his right arm back as far as he could and cleaned the bully's clock! The aggravator did not see the punch coming until it was too late to avoid the blow. It landed flush on Spencer's nose and knocked him on his kiester.

    I wanted to illustrate how to deal with a bully.

    Seems I achieved my purpose with this chapter.
reply by Rasmine on 01-Sep-2017
    Yeah, but in my Flower Power stories I deal with it differently, but then again it's dealing with playground bullies not a child molester.

    Oh wait, it was this one. Yeah, this is one way, but if I want these books to get into the school system it can't be violent.

This is beautifully written, Brett, and I'm going to have to catch up a bit as I'll be reading it from now on. Is the first book published? If it is I'll go and buy it. This one showed Cody becoming a man in his way. Standing up to the bullies was the best thing he could have done, even if he gets in trouble for it, those bullies won't be bothering his again. I enjoyed this and that is without having read the earlier part yet. Well done! :) Sandra xx

Another excellent chapter, Brent. It appears the drama and suspense is amping up with Schroder seemingly in the wings.

Your descriptions and character references are spot on.

Brett,

A great addition to your story. *smile* I like this small, but brave, little boy. (Though I think he's growing up pretty fast!)

Only a couple of tiny notes, if you please:
1.) "When, Dad? When are we going to get him?" Cody wanted to know."
--> no q mark at the end, please

2.) Built in 1882, the (adobe?) structure featured earth-tones

3.) Cody deafeningly thundered. He vowed, (")I've had it!"

Thanks!

Is that scenario a stab at reverse psychology aimed to help quell kids' fear, or a social comment aimed at hoverers? Ask Spencer, "Do any of your body parts hurt right now?"

Cody has the language of a child of the 1950s. Other than him sounding like an old man, I like the story.
