  1. It's still good! Had to stop reading last night because I had to close the liquor store lol. Lourdes should be given the title of Jester. She's a joke.
  2. Chip! Ginger! Such a scandal and I'm here for it.

    Magic

    Woo-hoo! Forkin' love CJ! Going back to binge-reading...
  4. Oh. So this is what a cliffhanger looks like.
  5. I'm love black olives! They go in a lot of what I cook (finely chopped, for Noah's sake). CJ has good taste. C'mon, CJ. Just go talk to the ginger guy. You know you want to...
  6. I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. I hope Chip is just as he said: overworked.

    Glory Days

    I love the camaraderie this group of friends have, including CJ's ribbing. Reminds me of people back home always asking if I "got me a girlyfriend" yet when I was a kid.
  8. Lol. Acrobatics.
  9. I like this chapter. You've described Georgetown very well! I'm excited to see how CJ handles his financial responsibility.
  10. Two paragraphs in and Lourdes was on my shit list. Her obsession with retaining a social standing made me want to hurl. It reminded me of my hometown and a particular aunt of mine's desire to be a mayoral brown-noser. I would've lost my marbles if I heard the mother of my child say, "Whatever, let's get this over with..." Jesus and the forkin' donkey, so quick to completely abandon your son? Loving the storytelling, Carlos!
  11. The tension control has me hooked. The flow between camaraderie and serious tones is great. Please, oh pretty please. I'm itching to whatever Cesar's going to say to... Lourdes. Yeah, that one's gonna take a minute to get used to.
  12. An exciting opening! Mom and step-douche kick CJ out and send him to Dad with no reasoning. Jesus... Great parenting examples one after another. I can already tell I'm in for a great read.

    It feels nice to be posting again! I have a few short stories cooked up while I'm working on the longer projects, so keep your peepers peeled.

    Chapter 1

    Dang, I should've had a "no drinks" warning at the top of the page. Oh God, not the GigaAlphaChad!

    Chapter 1

    Hondo, the super-dee-duper masculine macho man that has to have his way with everything. Walks with a stride filled with so much gumption.

    Chapter 1

    Oh no, not the service counter! I did that for a year and I'll never get my IQ points back. Had a lovely argument with a customer who wanted to return a loaf of bread that came from a competitor (as in it was their generic brand...) and would not understand why I could not complete the transaction. Also, the nonsense I had to deal with regarding Western Union was insane. I had to talk down so many grannies that were hypnotized by scammers. Like... so many!!!

    Looks like a few of y'all needed this chapter. Glad you liked it, SR!

    Chapter 1

    I think we'll be hitting the laundry aisle in next week's chapter (posting early Monday morning), but those are some great lines! Deli department: a slice of paradise. I've been in the grocery industry since I was eleven, so this was an absolute pleasure writing. Karens are my least favorite people to handle.

    I absolutely love this comment!!

    Chapter 1

    Pfft. We all know a Karen's husband is powerless. The man's always adhered to her unbreakable and forceful will. The aluminum apron might have some use...

    Chapter 1

    Stores should have bigger aisles lol. Nah. If I come back to Tiffany and Giacomo, it'll be those two realizing Retail Ninja's love and causing mayhem at Karen's house.

    I'm tickled pink Retail Ninja was relaxing for you after work, Chris!

    Chapter 1

    When I started writing this, I thought having a superhero for a store was the funniest thing ever. And then I wrote Kruel Karen. I would never want to deal with her, but my God she's my favorite villain I've ever written.

    Chapter 1

    Tiffany and Giacomo are precious in their own ways. I'm so glad Retail Ninja gave them something to gnaw on. Glad to see you reading, Wolf!!
