Awesome story! The plotline was definitely interesting and different... I liked it...
One issue: LOOSE ENDS! :-) I am SO confused on this "James Howlett" character (I thought he was Logan/Wolverine???) You should write a story and explain it... and how he is either defeated, overcome, or befriended :-)
Author's Response: Hey, just wanted to reply to the review: I'm glad you enjoyed "Still Life." As for who James Howlett was, I'm surprised you're confused: He's clearly a hybrid (red eyes like Gambit, warty skin like Toad, blond hair like Sabretooth) and we know that Essex made plenty of those. As for his story being not being "tied up," I intended "Still Life," to be open-ended: I personally dislike having everything neatly concluded, especially since the story itself is so dark. For that reason I have no further plans to continue with this universe. But as I said, I'm glad you liked the story and thank you very much for the review- They make writing so much easier. Hobbits away, hey!

OK, so I had to go back to Chapter 14 and re-read the end, but between that and Mia's sharp observation in her review, I am going to throw out a guess here that 'James Howlett' is one of the 'triggers' Essex created to try to gain ultimate control of Wolverine, but 'James' turned out to be just as staunchly independent as Logan and wouldn't play along. Maybe there's too much of Victor in him, or too much of the real James Howlett, or maybe I just missed this boat entirely. I'd sure like to know how this all fits--but even if I never find out--this was still one of the best stories I've ever read. --Wendie
Author's Response: you and mia are both right... i just couldn't leave the thing from chapter 14 hanging... and i kinda like the idea of a wolvie-toad-victor frankenstein creature on the loose... glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the very kind review,rndiane

I'm officially confused. When the hell did Victor start going by the name of James Howlett?
Author's Response: ah, but he's not sabretooth... not entirely anyhow... red on black eyes remember? palms like a toad...

Wow. No kidding. That whole thing was spectacular. I love action adventures. And yours? I kind of crave those. This was beautiful. I don't want it to have ended. I'm going to go sort through the rest of your work now and see if there are any other action stories. Not everyone can do them as well as you do.
I'm highly intrigued by the James Howlett at the end. I had thought that Laura was the only successs from his jeans. Sounds to me like a mixture of Sabertooth, Logan and Toad. Ugh. What a horrible orgy that would be.
