I love this!! (You read exceedingly well.) It was characterization and world-building all rolled into one. I’m very impressed!! I would listen to an audio book of these stories.
Thank you so much, Liz! It’s certainly interesting to read one’s own words aloud – to discover and be bound by the nuance of the self-imposed punctuation, etc. And then, of course, on playback, to be confronted with your own voice – always a slightly peculiar surprise! It was certainly fun. xoxo
tugs at the ol ticker to hear this reminds me of people I used to know Master Reeves, you have permanently slammed the mic down brilliant and thanks for sharing with us xoxo
