I missed this one!! I've been slacking off with my reviews! Is there still more to come after this chapter? I ask because I noticed you started a new story. Best, JohnC

This was a great chapter, Gretchen. I enjoyed reading it.
You described Miranda well when she was waking up.
Yes, she was a bit looney. What her thoughts were, though,
were realistic. I'm thrilled all her important men were there
with her. Yes, she did put up an awesome life or death fight
and lived to tell about it. Well, I believe Missy will have lot of
time to think about her actions up to this point. However, I
can see her scheming trying to lie her way out of trouble, but
no dice. You did a great job with the 'tension' between Miranda
and Mitch. She wants so badly to be with him, but doesn't want
to show it too strongly.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Pulitzer prize winning writer Sam Shepard always told me that the most important part of being a great writer is to always be completely honest, telling the good and the bad equally. And if he was right, you never miss a beat, right down to the turd in the toilet. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    I experienced hearing an actual conversation about that years ago. The boys talking were quite proud. Lol. Thank you for this awesome review. Gretchen

It's good to see Miranda up and alive, so far her putting two and two together has figured out Missy, madder that a cut snake, what she had planned to do with Miranda's anybody's guess, and Dougie...well that another problem, beautifully written Gretchen. Blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this part of the story with us. I can't wait to find out all that Missy is guilty of. I know there's a lot more. I still hope you make plans for another Miranda story. She a great character.

    Thanks so much, Barbara. I'm thrilled you've enjoyed this story. Who knows if Miranda has another story. I have another story that is waiting. These two characters ain't happy waiting for their fifteen minutes. Hoping you'll come back for them. Gretchen

Well, Missy is finally caught. I hope they put her under the cornerstone of the jail. Everything turned out okay, and Mitch and Miranda will have a happy life together.

This is good! I really like it. We need to know who was in the cars too. Did you forget about that? Waylon and Aaron are a cute pair. I love their conversation. So like a young boy to talk about his turd and the toilet. LOL Made me crack up; really good stuff down to Mitch and his sweet words of affection. I love Mirandas reaction to the pain, well I just really like the chapter. Well done, Gretchen. Nancy:)

    I woke up to a conversation similar to this when my oldest was younger. Apparently that is a great source of pride for guys. Lol. Thank you so much for the excellent review and rating. Loose ends will be wrapped up soon. Gretchen

    I had to laugh, When my son was young he had to show me the long turd in the stool. He was proud too. LOL Boys are different! Hugs!!!

This was a great chapter, Gretchen! Her subjective train of thought just before she surfaced and while she was trying to get her bearings, were extraordinary. I can't imagine why Missy chose to put bagged body parts in the abandoned washer when the pond and a rock inside of each would have been more efficient. I imagine, though, that will be explained. The only thing left unexplained is the whereabouts of Dougie. That should come next time or the one after. I'm giving this one a big whoppin' six!

    Thanks, Jay. I think all loose ends will be wrapped up in the next chapter or two. I appreciate the six. Gretchen

Another wonderful read, very realistic characters and dialogue, and I am so glad that Missy has been caught and is out of action for a while. What a piece of work. I have very much enjoyed this story, and will be disappointed when it ends - unless you have another great read up your sleeve! Well done.
Wendy

    As a matter of fact, I have another one prepped and ready to go. Lol. Too many stories, not enough time. Lol. A good problem to be honest. Thanks so much for sticking with me through this. Gretchen

Very intriguing and well written. I could easily picture the various scenes described...filthy trailer, hospital etc. Which, in my mind reflects the precision of your word choice. Found one little revision:

to get [my] some water.
to get me some water.

Excellent story telling on this one!
Brandon
