This is a very strong conclusion to an epic story. It summed up the characters and their interactions nicely. The story painted a vivid picture of the life of a particular class of person. And an intense slice of time.
Thanks.

I am really pleased that you commented.

I wanted to do more for Harley and Juggs. I based them on my own experiences growing up, with an Aunt and a cousin who were somewhat like these characters. I wrote this before I learned to do AI images, and the site I posted it on, always blurs the eyes, which is irritating.

I was going for the classic summer time feel of ENF, with the "Truth or Dare, except no one cares about the Truth" type of games, that devolve into seeing who is willing to streak further, or stick their whole hand in their mouth and suck it like a cock, or whatever many of us grew up playing with our cousins while vacationing.

We barely knew them, and we had tons of access on hot summer days, so what else do kids full of hormones do?

I took the story down a BDSM path, because I also wanted to show the Uncle Eddie and Juggs, was into BDSM before it was mainstream. The people from this generation had to buy dirty newsletters from the local adult novelty store. I remember the ones I saw smelled like chicken soup. They reminded me of a coupon cutter insert from the newspaper, except they had grainy pictures of fairly unattractive local men and women looking to play kinky games.

It must have been a real high risk time back then, but it was all underground and hush-hush. Now, anyone can google "Moby Dick, hardbound edition" and will be guaranteed to see some sort of nudity/bondage, so everybody knows about it. However, when I found out I had an Aunt into BDSM as a young man, It sort of blew my mind that anyone would do anything like that.

I am posting another story called Keeping the Babysitter in Line, that is also channeling that time period (a few years later) in 1980-something with a similar theme, but probably a little more autobiographical - just with some poetic license taken.

The goal with this story (as that one) was to write something relatable, but I've never been fully happy with the last two chapters of this story. I wrote this before I made the decision to stop posting as I write.

Now, I complete the story fully and post as I as edit. This way, I am positive I'll be happy with the arc, and not feel compelled to erase things when I write myself into a corner.

I've noticed for some stories, people have dozens of comments and suggestions. My stories, tend to get views, but few constructive or encouraging remarks.

However, I will say this - the site that I use primarily has a lot of toxic people who often write very discouraging comments, and so I'd rather no response, than a nasty gram.
