My brain is starting to fry with this. When you reach the end, I am going to print it all out and read it over one weekend when I am full of energy and low on commitments - it merits that amount of attention. Kate xx

    Thank you.
    At this rate it'll be about 4 months. I could email it to you if you would like.

    Lovely offer, but not yet. I have so much on my plate, and NaNoWriMo is calling to me... Also, I wouldn't want to deprive you of the stars. I will carry on reading as is, and do it properly after. K

    Should i decide to spend hard-earned FS dollars on other projects, I'll announce an end to Spy-Ohmie posts. Thank you for your interest in the story. I really appreciate your comments, and helps.

I guess I missed a lot. We left the prehistoric times and maybe in current or future times and Ohmie's parents are spies communicating in code. I wonder why the ping was "NO." Was that from his mom? Hope they can get out of whatever situation they are in.

    Yes, there was a lot behind this chapter. My use of the same name (Ohmie) has caused a bit of a problem. In this modern times book, Ohmie is the dying (lymphoma) son of CIA agents. Yes, the NO was from Mom. She did not want Ohmie sent back to the states.
    Thanks for reading and for the review.

Oh, this chapter is another delight. The full throttle of humor is back! I needed some humor. It came just in time. Things were getting tense, which was an excellent time-out for my heart. I love the addition of the mom and her backstory. So funny. I love how the father and son are so cheeky with each other. This is genuinely so much fun! I was thrilled another chapter was ready. I do not ever want this adventure to end. Ack!

This is another exciting chapter, Wayne. Everything is very far-fetched, but that's what keeps it interesting. It's hard to imagine a boy suffering from cancer is able to keep up with his always on the move father! Great job, again.

    Thank you. He is exceptional, the reason he wasn't diagnosed at all until stage 4. But he isn't invincible. More on that later.
    And thank you so much for the six stars!

Wayne,

The adventures of poor sick Ohmie continue to hold my interest. And we learn that MOM! is a spook too. That's quite the code. I'm sure I couldn't break it.

    Reminds me of my summer job feeding a mangle in a commercial laundry.

Another interesting Ohmie adventure, but very far- fetched of course in terms of all that travelling, which always works out, despite his chemo and various other complicating issues. Yet it's an engaging and enjoyable read: who cares about real life and its limitations?
Well done.
Wendy

Invoking the Little Rascals are you? (Buckwheat) I think Ohmie's adventures may just have one up on them.

A larger font size would help readability and perhaps bold type.

My bed at home was sounding real good to me. (real) should be (really)
He nodded, the little twitch thing: comma (,) should be a semi-colon (;)
A couple meals, a night's sleep: SUGGEST (couple of meals) insert (of)

Why is this guy running? Break it out to us Wayne. Why can't he stop and take a nap?

    Thanks for the review.
    First person, to me, is like dialogue. Ohmie thinks the same way he speaks. (real, couple meals) I could be wrong, but that's how I feel it.
    Want me to tell you why he's running? It's two more chapters to find out. Or I could tell you.
reply by GARY MACLEAN on 12-Sep-2022
    Yeah, I get it, and I have noticed that, so I have not written several others because I know Ohmie is talking like he thinks. This one just didn't seem to be like Ohmie though. Live and learn.

    You are probably right, I might have been inconsistent.

    Oh, by the way, don't tell us the end. I can wait.

    Thank you. Only about 40 chapters to go. I'm not sure I'll post it all. If you would like, I could email it to you (I have others already).
    Thanks again for the review.
