Luke closed his eyes. "I'm sorry Zack...I'm sorry...it just...the thought of someone hurting you...in anyway makes me angry....so angry...I care about you so much..."

Luke's eyes became ablaze like blue fire. "Who told you that?!" he demanded. "It's not true Zack...not a bit of it!"

I didn't have that problem...not sure about anyone else....hopefully the dopey feeling will go away once your body adjusts to the medictions....you are in my thoughts!

"Now...I know...what I went through is a lot different than what you're feelin'...heck...if I was in your shoes, I'd probably feel the same..." He bit his lip. "Now I don't know why your folks ain't come back for ya... but sometimes..." He sighed hard. "Sometimes...bad things happen to good people. Ain't no reason...they didn't do nothin' t' deserve it, it...just happens...now your folks...they must have a real good reason why they didn't come back....somethin...musta stopped em...cuz anyone'd be lucky t have a little boy like you...they'd be crazy not t come back," he said softly.

"I uh...I brung ya somethin'" he said, taking from the pocket of his jean jacket something carefully wrapped in a napkin. "S'a couple cookies...Daisy made 'em this mornin'. Now I know you probably don't feel like eatin' right now...but you can save 'em for a snack later...or give 'em away...whatever you want..." he suggested setting the cookies carefully on the window ledge beside the little boy. Luke bit his lip. Swallowing hard, he said something he had never told anyone...not even Bo. "You know...even years after my folks died...I'd still...imagine them comin' back for me somehow.... wasn't that I didn't like bein' at the farm but...I just missed 'em so much...I guess I thought...if I waited long enough...God'd send a miracle..."

same here Dukefan....and I'm your best buddy Bo?! Awwwww:) It was worth it to hear John say "what?" in an English accent...hope he never does a movie of Oliver Twist....LOL I don't know that he would cut it LOL

:0 Where is Maudine when you need her?! If anyone deserves a kick it's you!!!!

So...My result was 20...that either makes me a superfan or a person with a baaaaad obsession....LOL and he either gets a kick outta me or would like to kick me out...not sure which

nah...Rog and I don't fight... I was taught to respect my ELDERS (or in his case the much elder;))

*feet tapping along with Dukefan* Rog is old...as such it takes him a while...you got your spectacles on Uncle Roger? Maybe thats whats taking so long...he can't make out the keys!

Tillie (as in BlackTillie)

I love that episode!!!!! LOL

sweet....

I agree

Luke nodded with a sigh. "Thank you, ma'am." With that he slowly made his way back to Zack's window. He knew that the little boy didn't seem to want him there, but Luke just couldn't leave him there alone. "Hey...I'm back..." he offered as he sat down beside him.

Minewas the first birthday wish on the official birthday thread...I feel so special

I agree

Luke swallowed hard. He never did like it when someone he cared about was hurting. Now Zackwas hurting, and Luke had no idea how to fix it. "There's got to be somethin'"

Luke swallowed. "How can I help him?" He remembered what it was like for himself so many years ago...waiting every week for his parents to magically reappear...waiting to wake up from a very bad nightmare. He didn't wish that on anyone...especially Zack.

"I was wondering about Zack...he seems...depressed....I mean...really really down...." He ran his hand through his hair uneasily. "Did I...do somethin?"

I've read through this thread and thought about it....so now I guess I will throw in my two cents... I admit...I have used one-liners before...I really try not to, but sometimes it makes for a smooth transition so the other person can continue....and my one liners tend to be more than three or four words... As Mary Anne said, there may be on occasion a time when something like that is needed...as my aunt used to say, "There should be a place for everything and everything in its place." For me though, I take my writing very seriously...I am choosy about who I write with, who I RP with and even the stories I read. I am definately not easy to please. I am a teacher after all...As such, if I see a story that is one liner after one liner, or jumps from one thought to another, it drives me crazy. It just makes for poor writing...the readers get bored...and chances are...when you do so many one liners, the "flow" is not there, making it very hard to read. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means a writing expert. But I have written enough to know what makes for a good story, and constant one liners do not. Besides...I think Hazzardnet is a quality site...I think the admin strives to keep quality high on the threads and with the members. I think the fan fics andd rrs should be no exception to that.
