OMG! If you wrote this from scratch, you are extraordinarily talented. Seriously. I am going to print it. You didn’t miss a single angle. I’ll confess, as it went on, I was afraid you would mess up and say the young lady put the fix in and the poor young fellow would have to precisely time a bit of flatulence for the sound effect, but you kept it classy.
Kudos!
P.S. I don’t know if you write pieces often, but, if so, I’d like to be on the ping list.
Thank you very much. Yes, I write these pieces stream-of-consciousness and hit the post button. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I will think about doing a ping list here.
