"Like a river, life don't owe you shit. It's not obligated to pack fish down your gullet or remind you to hydrate. Frankly, it couldn't care less. But, if you lie on your back, it will push you somewhere." Strong words here, sentiment as well; really nice job with the characterization.
Agreed… seriously next level, Will! This was like the juiciest meatiest steak dinner complete with all the fixins. I didn’t want it to end and I don’t think it did! Keep it up my friend!!
Aw thanks for checking in! I’m in the thick of my annual Spring Slump. The brainfog usually lifts by end of May, and I’m VERY much looking forward to getting my creative energy back on track! Reading your stuff helps! Verrry inspiring!
will you are so fucking good.

Okay, this is some next level shit! Absolutely stunning, powerful prose. Wonderful!
hell yes Will.
Thanks, daisy!

Thanks, Raph!
Fantastic writing, Will. I'm really eager to hear more further adventures of Dougie (or any other Boston lowlife for that matter).
I respect how far you're pushing the prose style with an exuberant creative force. At its best it is really
exhilarating, really satisfying and... you know... good.
This was fantastic, Will!
Such an engaging and well crafted piece. Bravo sir!
Thank you so much, Michael!!!
Excellent. Got a subscription from me.

Will, I think you have found your groove and form with this piece.
It's been a pleasure to see you evolve. You deserve all the plaudits.
Thanks, Clancy! I’ll be following the groove 🎶

You're a great writer Will!
Thanks, Deborah!!
You got the lingo down, very fluid read!
Thanks, Alexander!!
We love a Boston story!
Haha! Boston is near and dear to my heart--felt really fun to revisit it
You captured it well!
Thanks! I'm so glad I did BeanTown justice. I was trying to work in Dunkin but thats for next time
I was gonna write the same thing as EJ. Holy shit. I still have goosebumps from how FANTASTIC this story is.
Thanks so much!!! :)
Woo hoo! So much energy, I read this before I was fully caffeinated but it woke me up right speedy. Chance of some love for my frozen shoulder?
Just heard from Doug he asked me to say “I love your frozen shoulder.” I imagine relief is flowing though you right now
thanks, D
