There you see Pat, there was no need to fret. I think most of us know everything triggers little reactions and goodness our old pal Wiley has been through enough traumatic times to withstand anything. As he said it was a compliment to your writing ability.

Re: WileyJohn:
Thank you Wiley and Kabu for your beautiful comments here today. Sometimes we run across a trigger in the most unexpected places that takes us right back to the stuff we're not quite over, in spite of all determination to put it behind and get on with things. You are both very gracious and kind.

My dear friend. Kabu said it exactly as it is. While your hero was killing off wives because he was a brick short of a load, my feeble mind does what it always does when it reads GREAT writing. Reading usually touches me personally somehow and I thought of losing Joyce, then about how Kabu and I think of losing the other and how it would devestate either one of us, and I am about to lose my brother. Not your doing, just life and we love you. Your GREAT writing 'hooks' me most of the time.

Re: Nautikos - "it seemed to be on page 30"
It's a stand alone: - 30 - is reporter's code for "end." It is an instruction to the typesetter from the olden days when stories were covered using pen and narrow notebooks, typed on cheap yellow newsprint paper and stuck on a nail peg on the copy editor's desk. Sorry for the confusion.

It was creepy...And also wondered if it was part of a larger work, because it seemed to be on page 30...
