    I have a rather personal problem with your writing: I can’t put it down once I pick it up. Right at 48 hours to consume this one. I feel cautious about commenting on stories long complete but I have to tell you that I loved absolutely everything about this. Rick really stole my heart. The level of detail could convince me you yourself are a plumber and a pianist. I could say the same about farming and other career paths you’ve written with such a dedication to accuracy. I don’t just enjoy myself, I learn something new every time. You send me off to consult the interwebs and I’m better, a bit wiser, because of that. Because of you. Thank you.

    I’ve pulled the tissue box closer a few times already but this time I needed them. Happy tears!

    Rick is changing. It’s palpable.

    Capriccio

    My heart aches for Rick and his aloneness.

    Chapter 2

    Mrs. Slocombe served by Mr. Slocum. Huh. If I wasn’t completely enrapt already my loving, laughing memories of Grace Brothers would have sealed my affection for this complex tale. Already a joyful read. Can’t wait to see where you take us @Rusty Slocum

    Chapter 1

    I am thoroughly and delightfully confused. There is a time to be silent and a time to shout is what I recall of the biblical battle. Have faith. Miracles happen. Will the 10:20 be on time Monday?
  10. No comments? I imagine many readers have no words since I’m at a bit of a loss myself. My mind immediately went to “if a picture paints a thousand words” though this is entirely the opposite. These 10,253 words paint a picture, a scene, a world. Amazing. Dark, yes, but filled with the moonlight. Filled with possibilities. Beautiful.
  11. Wondering how long lopsided will work for their exploration.

    Chapter 1

    I am deeply moved by this magnificent, powerful prose. Raised in the rural, Deep South and being just a handful of years younger than the protagonist I am captivated by the imagery, the little things. The church key for the beer. The clock radio seemingly every house had. The respectful silence when Paul Harvey commanded the AM radio waves. Thank you for sharing this. My day is better for having read it.
  13. Helen might be more dangerous than the gunslingers.
  14. I really want you to meet Mike. He’s a totally average, office worker, suburban husband and dad until he isn’t. A death saves his life. Quiet, careful and introspective, Mike embarks on a journey few middle-aged men with limited life experience would be brave enough to take. He is possessed of a metered and methodical patience that will charm and perhaps confuse you. If I impose a moral on Mike’s story it would simply be this: it’s never too late to change. Meet Mike. You’ll be happy to know him.

    Chapter 5

    Bravo!
  17. A story within the story. Love it!
  18. You GO Mike!
  19. Not in the marital bed I hope, Maggie. That’s just disrespectful if those condoms aren’t for her dildo.
  20. Better late than never, Mike! Posting the link to guide is a great kindness. May it reach the right eyes.

    Chapter 4

    This chapter was great for my eye health: they stayed wet the whole time. Spilled over some, too. Won’t take much to turn that (amazing) band list into quite the soundtrack for this story. Emphasis on Billy Joel maybe? Could be either sadness or euphoria… Dickie will go down again. Fool.
  22. I can’t begin to imagine where this is headed but I’ll be here to find out.

    Chapter 1

    I was waiting for this to be a dream sequence and it isn’t. Intriguing. Wondering who Jeremy is…

    Chapter 2

    I had no idea how much I needed a laugh today until the bus ride. “Much better than driving a tank.” *dying*

    Chapter 21

    Epic. Thank you.
