Wow.

Yeah.

Considering how painful, and how traumatic it is to read such things...Well, I am a strange fellow.

Well shoot.

Very nicely written, and a pretty fun story right up to, well, you know. It's just a personal bias, but I really dislike such unhappy endings.

Thanks, and not every story can nor should have a happy ending for every chapter. I’m of the opinion that those stories with a bit of harshness in them have more potential to bring a fuller and more satisfying ending in the long run.

Yeah, it's just a personal bias. My life has been full of those abrupt sad endings, so I prefer to avoid them in the fiction I read.

*jumps on his back and beats him on the head with her little fists.... don't you dareeeeeeeee!!!!!!

While my knee-jerk reaction is to agree with Ms. Vixyyfox's response, I have to say that such a sweet story ending in such a way is a good reminder that life is fragile. One never truly knows when a life-altering event such as this will occur. Since you've left the outcome open I assume we will be hearing more before too long.

Oh yes. I have a few loosely fitting ideas for him and his future, of course it all depends on what the next few prompts happen to be. I kind of like the challenge I’ve set for myself of trying to write a character’s story when the topic that dictate what events in his life comes from random directions. So in a sense his fate is in Poetigress’ hands, and from what she’s said before the prompts are already picked out weeks in advance. How’s that for predetermination?

I did not see that ending coming. It was a good addition to the story of Timothy's life and I do hope things get better for him.

Thanks, but things may be neither better nor worse, just different.

*Blink Blink* What just happened.........

Oh dear god, you can't do this to us. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US!!!!

But seriously, that was good. At first I didn't know where you were going with this, but the I read the ending and..... well, you can figure out the rest. Well done.

Thanks.

Timeless cruelty. Perhaps just deserts or wanton disregard.



A beautiful thing.

Nice

Nice story Tragic end.

Thanks for all your comments.

You are a bastard. D: You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!

Seems you were the most hated person of FA about seven months ago. The beginning of the story has pretty much all the charm that were present in the previous 'Timothy' stories, but the ending is quite cruel. Hasn't he suffered enough, he lost his father? I have sort of a black sense of humor, but I can't find humor from this. I am lucky in a way, as I can read the past prompts in pace I like. I think I read the next prompt earlier than I had planned.

Great little piece, charming, sweet, cute and cruel.

That was the long term storyline I had established for him in mind asserting itself. Cruel, yes and I make no apologies for it. Sometimes its necessary for such things to happen to characters that they can be tested or grow.

I can see why people were so tweaked out at the time. And some of these comments were like the equivalent of getting death threats. But I agree with you, if you don't test a character by creating problems and struggles, they can't grow and develop. And I think the way you've constructed the storyline is why Timothy has become such an endearing character.

I actually liked the death threat quality, let me know I had snuck in to where they live and was hitting ‘em hard.
