Good story. I can relate Boys mature very very late in life as we don’t have to face reality like young women. It’s a sad fact but a fact. Why we need to give women a huge thanks. This story is thousands of years old.
Read it - and made me get inside the head of a teenage boy in America from "back then". I wondered if he ever found out what happened to her years later... there was a sad undertone to it obviously -- that came through for me.
God Ray, that last passage. Absolute gut punch. Fantastic writing
That’s not writing…it’s a serious insight. I can’t wait to read your first novel.
It's coming
Good. Maybe a pop-up illustration for “Big Frank?”
You nailed it with the getting out of prison. Happens all the time.
The scariest short story I've read in some time.
Good writing, great title, fucking nightmare life. Enjoyed it, Ray.
Oh damn I really liked this one. The whole way his brain just unravels and spitballs. Soo good!
Man that last passage took the wind outta me, great writing Ray
🙏
That was hilarious! Many thanks. You're a talent.

found myself smiling then had my hand covering my mouth as it all unraveled. absolutely beautiful.
You sure can write Ray.
Only way to keep sane!
Sheesh.
Fantastic. What a way to start the day.
Poor Mona. People hyping themselves on being the savior for the ego high.
