Yay Andy! I am so impressed by this story. The characters and plot ring with so much truthfulness that a few times I've literally wanted to shake Andy, especially when he tormented that young man Chris. Although that, like the attempt at drug dealing, was such an obvious signal to him that all is not right in Drewland and served as parts of the wake up call he is only now accepting (I hope I hope).
I realize it's so easy to be objective when not subjected to the deceptive/confusing inner monologue that Andy tortures himself with, but the world created is so compelling and it's characters so sympathetic that it's easy to invest in them.
Thank you Adam Phillips for your fine work.
