Cole Parker Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 What a beautifully written, moving story. A must read for everyone here. Wonderful writing. http://awesomedude.com/nicholas-hall/gull-island-light/gull-island-light.htm C Link to comment
Altimexis Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Cole beat me to posting on this one - I was busy working on my Halloween story. Yes, Gull Island Light is an exceptional story, beautifully written and presented. I absolutely loved the way Nicholas weaved together past and present, and how he explored homosexuality and indigenous people at a time when neither were respected. This is a fantastic read.

Chris James Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I will always enjoy a story that takes me places I have never been, Nicholas has done that, although I wanted more. Everything north of Chicago is a mystery to me, and although Nick claims the story to be fiction in his notes I have to doubt if the setting was contrived. I agree with Altimexis, writing the story in glimpses of past and present gives the reader the broadest look at the characters and places described. The emotions of a first experience, the differences in culture...just everything about this story is a delight. Well done...all should read this one. Link to comment

colinian Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 A very meaningful story. It's not often there's a story in AwesomeDude (or Codey's World) written about the Indians who lived in America before anyone else arrived — and still live here, but under very different circumstances.

Rutabaga Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 This poignant story is back as a Pick from the Past. Caution to anyone allergic to exclamation points . . . . R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 And the story is back once again as a Pick from the Past. A very moving tale. R Link to comment
