More than that, I was inspired to push my own bar higher. 🙏

Hi Ben, I liked the tensions in this story; those between the protagonists and also where they were going; would they get there without consequences; etc. Sincerely, Heather Podrow (a friend of Kim Waite).

I remember reading this when it came out, and I can’t believe I never smashed the like button on the first episode. It’s really good, Ben.

I did want to point out a minor typo. The link at the bottom to part two is misspelled as “Part Tow”

I know. I've tried to fix it, but every time I do, it sends me tow part "tow".🤷🏼

“Cecil’s expecting me, and he’s only here until tomorrow,” he added, making sure to pick up his drink and drain the last of it. Father’s was the first funeral I’d ever been to.

Man! That really hits home. Gorgeous writing, Ben.

Well done Ben. I'll have to dip into the archives to see if you've published a second part.

It's all there. I was supposed to put the second part up, but this was the only opportunity we had to decorate the house. It usually takes a couple of days. 🤷🏼
