Part 2…. hopefully soon-ish? Have a movie I’m writing currently that is top priority but I DO know where this story is going so rest assured. 😂😂

Man I haven’t read a short story with such a kick for a punch line in decades. Good job.

You got me engrossed and then you dropped a cliff-hanger. Now you've got me wanting to know what happens next, nicely done, enjoyed that, thank you :)
