After Hours

[Nickolas]

Good stuff about bad stuff, man.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thank you. A thin slice came from my own life

[Patris]

Some Spillane, some my uncle Jimmy. Dark, sharp, and very smart. Great character, J.

[Jimmy Doom]

I will take a Spillane reference, thank you.

[Jonah Town]

Your ability to capture the complexities of human experience is commendable! It's a reminder of how circumstances can change in an instant and how even the strongest among us can fall. Truly powerful writing!

[Jimmy Doom]

You can do this too, ya know. You have to peel some layers back, expose some skin and sometimes even some veins

[Zelmo of Troy]

Excellent.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thank you. It made my head a little dark.

[Luke]

Nice one, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks Luke. Someday I'll show you the place that inspired it. The building is an MSU annex now, near the medical center

[Joe]

At 22 we still think we're immortal.

Some learn early and some hard.

The debt can only be paid upon death and the scars have no erase button.

Good writing, Jimmy!

[Jimmy Doom]

I really did dodge the reaper on a few occasions.

[Patty Mallett]

Nice, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks Patty. I felt that one hard. I feel em all, but that one was taking chunks out.

[Holly Starley]

Another terrific story, Jimmy!

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks Holly! I'm trying to keep you all entertained.

[Holly Starley]

Nailing it.

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks

[Carol Angel]

Oh we are entertained! You were in there, could feel it…down one of those alleys that lead to all kinds of souls. Thank you

[Jimmy Doom]

Thanks Carol! Thank you for always sticking with me

[V Moire]

I could just see it. I felt invincible too, working in those clubs at that age. I had a generous pinch of caution and ambition that kept me from going too far astray. The lure was addictive and intoxicating. I had to quit the life cold turkey.

[Jimmy Doom]

Cold turkey is really the only way. Walk out on your own or leave in a bag.
