Kurt
Life in The
Village, through the eyes of a student at the remote school.
This is an
original work of pure fiction (just an expression of a fantasy)
by Robert A. Armstrong (a pseudonym)
The resemblance
of the characters by action, name, location or description to any real person
is purely coincidental.
If it is illegal,
or offensive, for you to read stories involving interactions of a sexual nature
between adults and youths, then what are you doing here?
From
Chapter 67:
After saying goodnight
to William and Mr Grant, Karl and I head for the shower.
It crosses my mind
how much stuff I've learned to do with William and Mr Grant and Ron! And how
wonderful it is to be able to `practise' with my brother! And, what I did with
Andy!
Hey, Andy told me
that he would teach me how to let him go all the way with me when he comes
back! He'll be here in a couple of weeks' time, for
the holidays and the wedding. Then he and I can enjoy together what Dad and
Helen do in bed! Junior is stiff at just the thought of it!
"You excited?"
Karl asks me, taking hold of Junior. "I'm sure that you're going to like this!"
He and I are
thinking of two different things, but he's right: I am going to enjoy what he
wants to show me.
And Now...
My dear family of faithful followers,
I was recently alerted by one of my
readers (thank you JS!) that my story of Kurt was available as a book on
Amazon.com under a somewhat modified title, attributed to a person who
identifies himself / herself as "Melinda Robert".
I thought that a similar story might have
been a coincidence, with `Kurt' being a common enough name.
However, when I viewed the book for myself
via a copy that JS sent me, I discovered that the majority of it, my story, had
been copied from Nifty (through no fault of Nifty's), practically word for
word, right up to the end of my Chapter 63. However, it now appears that the
book has been removed from Amazon.com, for whatever reason, even though the
link remains discernible on the internet.
Oscar Wilde said that "imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery...". However, my work has not been imitated, it has been
plagiarised. Stolen. I should be flattered, but I am disappointed and feeling
violated, because `Melinda Robert' did not consult me, or even acknowledge me
as Kurt's original author.
Consequently, until `Melinda Robert'
contacts me to explain his/her actions, I will not be sending any more of my work
to Nifty.
Although I will carry on writing, with
many exciting things about to happen in Kurt's life, I will be reserving future
chapters of the story for my own review and enjoyment.
Thank you to the many, many hundreds of
readers from six continents who have taken the time to email me, compliment me,
thank me, and motivate me to continue writing. (I suspect that my audience is
much wider than those hundreds.)
It is possible that, at some time in the
future, when `things' have been sorted out with `Melinda Robert', you could see
Kurt return (hopefully sooner rather than later). Until then, please keep well
and stay safe.
Most sincerely,
Rob
