Favorite line—The kind of woman whose younger years were only a prelude, the mere prologue to a magnificent old age. 

Wonderful concept!

Mine too! Just one of many phase turns and on point descriptions.

I am really into this, but this episode left me very uncomfortable...Burgess is trapped between two different worlds,his loyalty split between family then and community in the now! I wait with great trepidation for your choice of resolution...

This chapter is so full of metaphors that I lost track. The feeling of trepidation and tightly controlled anger was well written.

Awesome! Feels like something dark might be coming next.

This is tracking along a REALLY interesting path, with all sorts of moral implications -- and no clear answers. Wonderful story-telling and character development, SE!

Magnificent! Oh, Burgess, what have you done? It’s not so easy as he thought it would be, not so straight forward. Such a thorny web!
