Wonderful characterization and gripping story. The image of Adam carrying the dead child and helping bury it makes me sad… for the parents and for Adam. How much he has learned from the tests and difficulties he has encountered. thank you!
Author’s Response: Thank you so much for such a great review … I often think of the terrible things that Adam must have seen adn experienced during his childhood. No counsellors in those days! Thankyou so much, pjhomerak.

Very engaging story with a rationale behind Joe’s problem with heights. Enjoyed this very much.
Author’s Response: Thank you, mohegan, I really am pleased that you enjoyed this story and very grateful for the review. Thanks again. Krystyna
I thought I had read all your stories until this one popped up on a feed and others were reading it. The title says it all and I was on edge all the way to the end. Beautifully written to show us inside Joe’s head about his fear of heights. I was feeling everything he felt. Your descriptions were fantastic. My most favorite part was Adam caring for Joe and patiently helping him deal with his fear. It was stunning to learn of Adam’s thoughts of being on that ledge versus what Joe felt. I always enjoy your stories and this one was no exception. Now I need to see if there’s any others I may have missed in the library. I’m hoping you might have something new for us soon as well.
Hi AC, and thank you so much for you review on this story. It was a really encouraging comment and I truly appreciated all that you said about it…I think I really wanted to show how much Adam felt for Joe, and also all the feelings that Joe would have felt being on that ledge…you know how sometimes when one writes a scene it really gets into ones head and one lives every moment …that was how I felt with Joe there…
Yes there is another story in the pipeline…sorry I am so long between tales so to speak (sound a bit like a dachshound there!!)
Came back to read again, love Adam caring for Joe!
So glad you came back to re-read it, Beth…and that you enjoyed it as much. Thank you for leaving me a review and your comments…..
Thank you Krystyna for this great story. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. The section on Eagles Nest really explains Joe’s fears of heights and how if we don’t address a trauma, it can last a life time. I loved the scenes between Adam and Joe. Well done!
Hello Kima09 …so very very pleased that you liked this story. I tried to keep the thought of Joe’s fear in my head as I wrote it, and to imagine how he would feel in such an extreme situation ! Thank you for such an encouraging response ..🥀
Loved how this story explained Joe’s fear of heights. A really well written peice of work that was a pleasure to read.
So glad you enjoyed it, MissieWritesFanfiction … some fears are never vanquished but with the help of loving brothers
they can be held at bay. Thankyou for letting me know you had read it
Incredible story, love you you portray Adam as the very caring big brother, great job!!
This was a real nice story. Adam is the most understanding brother of all. Hoss has a fear of darkness, Joe has a fear of heights. What is Adams fear?
Thank you, Hope…when I read your last question it reminded me of another story I had written where Hoss asks Adam the very same question…and the answer Adam gave was “Failure!” So I hope that is a good enough answer for you . Glad you enjoyed the story …thank you for leaving a review
I have re-read this story many times. In fact, in another library this same story is listed under the title of “The Sword of Damocles.” Thanks so much for all the wonderful stories you write.
The Sword of Damocles was the first title I gave the story but On The Edge seems more appropriate, doesn’t it? I’m really glad you enjoy it and thank you yes, I aim to continue writing if you continue reading
Yes. The title for this story, “On the Edge,” is very appropriate. I will be watching for your new stories.
Thank you, Elizabeth … There are quite a few of my stories in Brands library so I hope you get to enjoy more of my stories, thank you for this comment, which was very kind of you
It’s been a very long time since I read this one. I’m glad it popped up in the random stories.
So glad you enjoyed this one again Beej … I shall have to reread it myself now as it is a while since I wrote it. Always good to see a review for an oldie !
So glad I found this story. I haven’t read this one in years, and it was exciting to find it once again. Excellent take on Between Heaven and Earth and the continuing saga of Eagle’s Nest. Well done, Krystyna!
Thank you very much, JFC. It was very easy to write about Joe’s terror just imagining his facial exprrssions helped a lot. I really am more than pleased that you enjoyed this one …thanks again for your review…
Quite the emotional wringer you put Joe and we who read your tales through. I’ve thought of writing of that moment at Eagles Nest. I enjoyed your take on it. Well done!
Joe’s emotional make up is worthy of exploration and the Eagles Nest misadventure of his childhood is a good premise upon which to write a story that will involve his fear and terror of heights. I am very glad you enjoyed it and thank you for letting me know.
Thank you so much, Joesgal …poor Joe, he was really suffering on that ledge. I know some writers indulge the belief that Joe and Adam were not close, but I prefer to believe quite the opposite. I am particularly pleased that you enjoyed the closeness between them in this story…thank you, Joesgal
Loved this ! You are so good with your descriptions , i could feel joes fear , and i love the closeness of adam and joe in this
Brilliant! I’m so glad to have rediscovered this gem! I remember reading it in the forums. It kept me on the edge throughout, both on that first reading and in this second one. You put me in that ledge right beside Joe, and I was just as terrified. A very worthy read!
Thank you so much, Freya,coming from such a good writer as yourself that is quite a compliment and I am really grateful that you took time to read it again. I just love the thought hat you could see yourself on that ledge with poor Joe…oh he does suffer at our hands, doesnt he?
