Thank you for this...Misty needed to work thru all of her loss, which I suspect you have 'bottled' along side your character. We haven't fully felt her losses, haven't been exposed so directly and gotten to know in detail the closeness, like we have with Luke, Tom and Logan. Like Chrys, at her death we didn't understand the relationship really. Like Misty's father, we haven't been very aware of his place in her life. But we all did know Tom and his importance to Misty, and Logan and Luke! Now Luke and Misty have, in this moment, an avenue to help each other thru mutual grief filling empty spaces in each other! Only Logan is needed to close this broken circle now I think. That's what we wait for so everyone can progress toward healing and hopefully find a common purpose I think. There is a little mystery that I don't understand the importance of. Maybe nothing...but when Misty probed for energy signatures and got an unexpectedly powerful response, hmm...
Now about "to late or not to late"...Mr Poff is quite correct. You are not on-deadline to us. You set the schedule for yourself. I always thought it pretty aggressive myself. I do read other serials that publish at monthly intervals even. I will read it when you say it's ready. This one was ready, no doubt!
Why Frank, you are too kind! Maybe that's what I didn't like about this one, that it forced me to confront uncomfortable feelings. Yes, you're right I've dropped quite a few more hints here about Misty's past and her family and what she values. Healing her relationships with Luke and Logan is a big part of what this chapter is about.
As for my aggressive schedule... I've, not always, but not exactly recently either, got pretty good at putting pressure on myself, often unnecessarily. But I do like keeping my commitments, and I do enjoy the little happiness boost I get from my twice weekly posting.
You guys make my week, most weeks.
The failed energy probe was just an attempt to show that Misty has lost control of her energy for the moment, and so can't 'slow release' in increments to get by, like she did back at The Base. This is the closes she's got to a full blown out of control episode since the one that put her in a coma for four years. And she doesn't want to risk it. Now she has the added worry of not being able to fully control something that can be catastrophic if she gives up.
Sorry if that was a little too much information, maybe something to expand on, or clarify, when I revisit this one. Thanks for the headsup.
"late" implies missing someone else's deadline. Writers are Gandalfs... We finish precisely when we intend to :) remember-you are writing for you, we're just along for the ride and what a freaking ride this entry was'. I was getting Misty eyed right along with Misty, an old guys don't leak LOL
Well thankyou Dave, you say I'm a word wizard then? That's a compliment and no mistake! And I'm so glad you enjoyed this entry. I was more than a little worried about it seeming too... ugh... I don't even know what it is that I don't like about it.
But I'm glad you did, and I'm sorry that I'm not sorry if it made you sad and leaky. 😉
As I have said in previous comments, I'm all over the map about Misty and Logan and, before we lost him, Tom. In this entry where you are describing how hurt Misty is by what she heard Logan say... I was literally yelling at the screen, barking at her that she had no right since she damn near killed him when she escaped. I've had to remind myself more than once how young she is, and then I laugh at how proud of you I am that you have gotten this good at toying with my damn emotions... and I really am proud of you and how well you are doing at realizing a life-long dream!
Penance-

Well, I can't deny a similar burst of happiness from the anticipation and fulfillment of each posting! 😊
