It's a GOdDAMN crime that I am the first to comment on this!

You had my attention arrested from beginning to end, I felt the anxiety and the closing line was the perfect release. Loved it!

I was under an unexpected deadline to produce a second story for a project. Yanno how I crow about that time Emil said “goddamn I wish I wrote this sentence?” It was this story where he said that.

And he said it at exactly a point when I was questioning why I even fucking do this. Kiiiiiiiiiinda like you did with dropping this love today. Been a rough one in my head and all angry sad hating myself because art.

sigh Yanno. Thursday.

Ugh, fuck-ing THURSDAYS! Yeah, I get it and know it well. You hit a nerve with this piece that every creative knows intimately. Thank you for writing this, this is fucking good.

...and ignore those doubting voices if you can, or light them on fire, whichever works 🤷‍♂️

It was a snub-nosed S&W .357. But that's too loud so I need to change it. I'm working on it. Waiting advice from a friend.
