Awww No.It can't be finished there's so much further this story can go.
I would love to see Ryan go home and I'd love to see Sandy/Kirstens reactions. I can imagine Kirsten after the initial shock asking Ryan "what the fuck have you done to your hair".

I thought it might have been Seth at the graveside but I'm really loving that you made it Luke. I especially liked how you got Ryan to get all the death info from Luke before he revealed himself.
I actually thought Luke would have been more shocked and pass out at some spot.Loved how you let Ryan be so decisive once he found out the facts and wanted to see his family ASAP.Oh and the Ben/ryan replacement name didn't go un noticed. Cool touch on your part.*nods* *g*

This was truly amazing please don't turn your back on it for too long. I for one would be so disappointed.
Thanks for writing and sharing this wonderful story.mwah

You're spoiling me with your comment.

Personally I'd like to continue this, but it's based on the same idea as "Lost Time", so I'm not really sure if I can make up two plot lines, which aren't too similar.

But I'm open for ideas about how Ryan's supposed death may have affected his family and friends.

oh I thought that it is connected to Lost time... like a revised version or sth.

[nullsys]

Actually it is, but they are both (original and this) unfinished, so either I choose one of them that I'll finish or I'v to make up two different plots.

I agree with jassylou. it cant be over.

That idiot waited three month? Wow. I would have thought that he believed tat the Cohens didnt know he was alive in the hospital

Cant wait for Kirsten and Sandy to find out. It will be interesting to see how u ll write it. It is a difficult thing to get right.

I'm a bit stressed right now, so I hope you don't mind accepting my reply to jassylou's comment as yours as well. (hope this sentence makes any sense)

I think it would be nice if Kirsten had been pregnant at the time of the accident but Ryan didn't know.He may even have grieved for Ryan.

When Ryan reappears he has a beautiful brother/sister.Caleb could be glad to see Ryan back from the dead. He's realised that Seth will never be the g/son he wants him to be. He could channel some of his love towards Ryan.

An idea might be to write a little conversation between Ryan and each one of his friends individually. Get into their thoughts from there.

If he was in a relationship at the time of the accident a reunion of a romantic kind would be great.

Seth would probably think Ryan had super powers."Jesus and Moses" where on his side,type powers.
Generally Ryan finding out the strength of his feelings t'wards family and friends and theirs for him.

I feel foolish offering my opinion/suggestions as I am no writer just an avid reader. I just think it would be a damn shame to leave the story here.
It's amazing. Soon...Yes?. mwah

Don't worry about that. I'm always open for ideas. If I don't like them I won't use them, but mabe they are way better than my own?!

[jassylou]

Heeee:) Well at least you acknowledge them. Some people don't. hug

I like the inclusion of Luke, one step away so more dispassionate
