Andy--holy cow. I will get to the rest of this collection but that is where I started. Crazy great piece. I felt it deeply. Your message came through loud and clear. And that was remarkable writing!

Ok I of course realize this piece probably was fiction--perhaps--but it has a nonfiction feel to it 🙃

I thought it was incredibly written. I want to read it again because there's so much in there to ingest and just appreciate on an artistic level. Seriously it was kind of remarkable. I'm glad you felt proud of it. I do follow all your posts in general but I'm not a fiction reader. Otherwise I'd be reading your horror pieces! This time in my life I'm much more drawn to nonfiction but I'm sure your fiction is fantastic 😉.

I agree. I discovered him on Medium before he was writing for you there I think even. I adore his writing.
