There was nothing Ennis could salvage from the wreck-nothing.

Even though this was a new paragraph, when I first read it, I thought Ennis was talking about his marriage.

It's so dangerous to let your mind spin like Ennis is doing, asking and answering questions at the same time...he can ask or answer, but to try to do both will drive him crazy!

And Alma and her mother and Santa! So sad...

[gwylliondream]

Hey, wait a minute... Didn't you write that line?

It comes at a good place though, doesn't it?!!

Hah hah... Santa.... I don't know why parents do that.

I knew that this referred to the wrecked helicopter, but I really liked the way it could also have referred to Ennis' marriage.

[gwylliondream]

Oh yes, it was impeccably timed so that it read that way...

Uh... not really.... it was the tail end of the last Ennis section. Pure happenstance that it fell where it did.

*cries*

Thanks for reading!

i liked the health lesson on sexuality. it was just the right scholarliness. it was removed from the actuality of sex, just like alma is. i can't believe what the beers did with santa clause and alma. they really did a number on that girl. disobeying her mother was a sin. she is so afraid of sin.

i'm glad ennis is on the right track for finding jack now. i just wish his mind would settle. he's so confused. i just know he will find jack soon and tell him what john twist said about jack being dead. i hope jack stopped at the head of that pass that brian fell down. he needs to make his way down the side of it, not try the direct approach. it's too dangerous. and i hope the cap ennis found was not jack's. the suspense here is killing me.

Thanks for reading, gr! Yes, it's exactly the way Alma experiences sexuality! I'm so glad you noticed that!

Don't let the suspense kill you! Only 2 more chapters!

Have a great week!

So much going on. Alma and her mother need a lot of therapy that is for sure young midwest religious mothers should all read this so they know how they are messing up their children's minds. Of course she thought she was doing best by her girls she certainly made a mess of things. Well, Alma was correct Ennis is a good decent man and respectable. He was just not really interested in you. Like yourself he thought he was doing what was expected of him and not looking at his true feelings just as you thought you were doing what was natural and you were supposed to do. Maybe this waitress job will expose you more to the world and give you some help to move past your mothers upbringing and to let you live a little. As for Ennis he is really putting his body through a workout that well, he may be putting himself in danger as well, by pushing so hard on weakened muscles. But, finding this hat is getting closer and well, now we will have to see what happens next. I pray that we don't wait long, the suspense is killing me already and

Hmmm... I wouldn't limit it to Midwest mothers! I know a lot of girls my age who were raised the way Alma was in this fic. Really a shame. For what it's worth, I never told my son that a dude named Santa came to the house. It just seemed so toxic for me to lie to him like that. A lot of people would argue that I was mean for not encouraging him to believe in Santa, but I disagree.

Thanks for appreciating how tired Ennis must be. It makes me legs hurt to proofread this before I post it!

Have a great week, Joe!

I fear the oh so wrong view of the world of Alma can't be really fixed any more. What a shame and what a sorrowful life she is forced to live.
I'm really anxious for Ennis to find Jack already and can't shake the fear- I hope it's not too late for Jack also
what a big mess all around
but- one good thing has come out of this- Ennis is finally trying to come to terms with his feelings. That's good and long overdue.

Thanks for reading Paula! I wish I knew how Alma could get her act together to have a happy life. After seeing where she comes from, I think it's pretty much impossible. With Ennis, there's some hope.
