I have just played the movie, The Age of Adeline" with Blake Liveley. It has a
similar plot, time warp and an ageless heroine, a great movie. It is a take off on another one, A Portrait of Jenny. Towards the end of this it seems that Austin has
lost his bearings among the group.

Hi there;
thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I'm sure you will find the storyline different as the book moves along. I appreciate your time. Austin just took a detour with one of the machines, he is about to rejoin the group,

Hi Patty,

This is the first chapter I've read in this book. Even starting in the middle of the story, I was able to get a feel for Austin's character with this glimpse of people from his past life. I surmised that they are all in Purgatory and waiting for their turn to meet their maker, so to speak.

Considering the cast of characters noted in your author's notes, the perspectives from each with their different faiths should be interesting, to say the least.

I thought you built the suspense well and gave good clues to the insight of this character, as well as peripheral clues to some of the others in the room. I didn't see any SPAG or corrections need.

Keep up the good work!

Kim

Hi, Dovey;
thank you for reading this latest chapter in 'The Waiting Room,' and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Maybe if you have time, you can go back and read the preceding chapters. The Waiting Room isn't purgatory, but just a place to wait for your 'appointment.'

I appreciate your review and comments,

Really enjoyed this chapter, Patty. It is really a fruitless use of mental energy to ask what would have been. But I like contrast of what would have happened if he had married the blonde (loved "dishwater blonde") and the if his wife had married someone else. At least, it made him more grateful.

I started guessing early, and thought there'd be a child he didn't know about. On this one, I felt like there should be more to the story. What impact did their liaison have on this woman? Maybe there wasn't any, but I'm left wondering. Maybe that was your point!

You left with a hanging question of what Adele wants to discuss, which holds interest for the next installment. I look forward to it.

Hi there;
thank you for reading this latest chapter of 'The Waiting Room.' I'm glad you found Austin's adventure in 'Whatever Happened to..' interesting. No, the point wasn't what their liaison had on the woman, but what he 'missed out' on by marrying his wife.

The next chapter will be interesting, so I hope you will continue to follow the story,

The story entertained me. I wouldn't be far off the mark if I said this story could have easily been a what if story, instead, it was different. Watching Austin look at the people he left behind, it made him unhappy and surprised.

Hi, Phillip;
thank you so much for reading this latest chapter of 'The Waiting Room.' I had a good time with the particulars of this story. Austin was somewhat disappointed by what he found, but he should be happy about the way his life turned out.

The shiny sixth star you gave the piece makes me happy and proud. I've put a great deal of work into this storyline,

Good afternoon, Patty

I really liked the way you incorporated Austin's 'What If' and 'I should have done this' dilemma regarding both women and his life in general. Scene construction was spot on. Enjoyed.

Question, why did Andrea appear fifteen years older than Austin?

dishwater blonde sitting on her couch -- never heard of that description regarding blonde hair.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

Hi, Ray;
thank you so much for reading this latest chapter of 'The Waiting Room.' Andrea appeared to be fifteen years older than Austin because she had led such a rough life. Cigarettes and booze aged her beyond her years. Dishwater blonde is a shade of blonde that is more brown than blonde.

Thank you so much for the shining sixth star on this chapter. I'm honored,

We are better off not to second guess our life. It is just
possible we would not be happy with what we discover, Austin, sadly has found that to be true. This gives us something to ponder Patty. Well done. Nancy

Again, very interesting. So Austin had to die before realizing that he had a great wife and was lucky he didn't choose his first love. He was lucky she chose him over the rich suitor. He'd been very lucky and should not have taken it all for granted, wishing for more.

Hi, Phyllis;
thank you so much for reading this latest chapter of 'The Waiting Room.' Yes, Austin needed to find out just how lucky he was. And it was all too late. I'm glad you found the chapter interesting, and I appreciate your comments.

Hey, this is a really good chapter and I enjoyed reading it. I like the various viewpoints of each character and how their religion influenced their lives. Sorry but I have something I wanted to point out.

This sentences doesn't make much sense to me. Is there a word missing or does the sentence need reworked??

A slight hum made a sound, and it tingled through his fingers.

Oh, so did Austin's widow hook up with George? Interesting!

Hi there;
thank you so much for reading this latest chapter of 'The Waiting Room.' I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I don't think Austin's widow had moved on already. George already had a lovely wife.

Well, I wish I had that machine. I would like to know what happened to some of my former acquaintances. I think we all would. Once again a good post.
