simple pleasures

[Jon T]

I will also say that the voice in this is so captivating. i want to hang out with this guy and get him to narrate the obituaries. All the language just feels exactly right. Loved all the parentheticals and quips too. Always enjoy reading your work so much.

[Will Boucher]

Thanks Jon! It took me a while to feel like the voice was right, it was a tricky one to nail down, glad you enjoyed it my friend

[daisy cashin]

Those damn rat bastards. Loved the voice of this one.

[Will Boucher]

Thanks Daisy!

BEST ENDING EVER. Every individual sentence I read in your stories makes me robotically clap my hands like a monkey-with-cymbals toy.

[Will Boucher]

Thanks!! lol love you’re staying on brand with the monkey imagery.

[Sudana Krasniqi]

The dialogue and the narrators voice here is some of my favorite I have read in quite a while, Will.

Enjoyed the shit outta this one.

[Will Boucher]

Thanks so much Sudana! It was a fun voice to figure out

[Mari]

So good! Love the narrator. average caregiver experience lol

[Will Boucher]

Haha, thanks! I work with a lot of caregivers so I've heard some stories that helped inform this one haha

[murphy gray]

The whole story I was thinking that maybe Ms. T is an ex-student of Ishmael and she never understood his teachings and this was her punishment. Great story. New sub

[Will Boucher]

Thanks Murphy! Oh right, I forgot about Ishmael. That would have been a nice twist!

[NJ]

I’d buy anything you sold with writing like that! Bless that precious brain of yours! 10 stars and one extra star because you know I love fucking profanity

[Will Boucher]

haha thanks! There’s a healthy helping of bad words in this one. I’ll have to wash my mouth out with soap

[Jane Dougherty]

Chilling.

[Will Boucher]

Thanks Jane!

[petrichor]

[Keith Long]

So very good. And that ending, brilliant

[Will Boucher]

Thanks so much Keith!!!

[A.P. Murphy]

Excellent narrative voice Will, a vivid story of an everyday kind of horror. Really locked me in to the story, that first-person character

[Will Boucher]

Thanks, Murph!

[Michael Edward]

Well you definitely got me with that opening line! :)

[Will Boucher]

Haha! I think it’s my favorite opening line I ever wrote

[Logan Heron]

This was wild, Will. Wild.

[Andrew Robert Colom]
