Reading to the end, that's a pretty big deal nowadays! Thanks for letting me know that.
I updated my post to mention that a big part of the reason I was inspired to write this story is because I write things like this for work.
It's a new job and new way of writing for me, so I wrote down one of my own stories and posted it here for practice. I feel kiiiinda weird about it though, 'cause I worried a little that it would come across like I'm trying to look like this really nice person or whatever.
But that wasn't the goal or the point. So if I ever do something dirtbaggy like that, lemme know
