I hope you're ready for your weekly 'cup' of Weightless! See what I did there? By Cynus, of course. |

The dad is still an ass, but we don't know everything.

The dad is still an ass, but we don't know everything. He certainly is an ass and he is starting to really piss me off! I too get the impression that there is more to his behaviour than we are aware of in the present moment, its gonna have be something monumental to absolve him of his abhorrent behaviour / attitude towards his son! It seems as though the boys are building towards a beautiful relationship though , with a bit of tolerance, trust and empathy on both sides. Wonderfully written as usual, Thank You Samuel 😊 x |

The thing I've always liked about Sam's characters is how well constructed they are. They stand out as individuals rather than mere clones of each other and I think it's those strong characterizations that stick with us after a story ends.

I read it and enjoyed it. I agree that the dad is a pompous ass. His failure to treat all his children equally goes against several rules in the "How to be a Parent" Rules and Guidelines Book. Having been a parent of 3,and still being a cynical realist, I know parents are humans first and will have a "favorite" child. I also believe that parents should never let their children feel they have been Rank Ordered, and try their hardest to treat their children equally.
I'm not sure which way Cynus will go with the dad/son relationship. I'm not sure which way I would like the story to go, either. Part of me wants Zane to have a happy healthy relationship with his mother and sisters, while ignoring his dad, and living happily ever after with Clint for the rest of his life. Having his dad realize that his dads injuries, career frustrations, perceived life injustices, medications whatever have effected his relationship with his son, and begging Zanes forgiveness, is the other smaller part.
Whatever happens, I will continue waiting anxiously for Wednesdays to see what happens. Because I really like this story and the characters, Zane and Clint. See you next Wednesday. Thanks for writing the stories.

Great story. I'm waiting anxiously for each episode. I too am pissed at the dad and wonder how/if he can be redeemed. I say this as someone who, while I got along with my own father once I reached adulthood, as a teen I was often in conflict with my father. Even now, in my dotage, I see fathers and sons having fun together and being affectionate and I watch wistfully. I would have loved to have that kind of relationship. I'll root for a reconciliation but I don't really expect it. Keep up the good work!
John
