Excellent breakdown.

Very helpful info. Thank you!

Not sure how to edit a submission, but somehow, in internet madness, the pen ultimatum stanza was omitted. As if anyone gives a fuck!

This sounds like the pain he felt was caused by her not caring. You cared more so you wrote about it. Nicly penned.

It’s good to read your material again. Some writers whack me upside the head with their weighty words. And I don’t mind a bit. It makes me think. It makes me curious. That’s the best drug to me: Curiosity. So thank you for feeding us this drug of yours.

Thank you Fia. In a nutshell, your interpretation is correct

Cheers Mark. I miss ‘chatting’ to the likes of Gary and your good self. For some reason (prob my IT incompetence) I can’t expand my messages on here. I’ll send my email.

Brilliantly penned, Fia. Amazing write, you’re a fantastic storyteller my friend. Dig this, cuz. Appreciate you.

very nice. lookin forward to next part.

Talk about a steamy build up the suspense here if just strong as can be. And the dialogue flows perfectly like a bunch of ladies on a night out at the bar. And then the guys lining up with drinks for the protagnist is a surpising and original plot line. Fantastic opening.
