Serendipity with some rock n roll. Pretty sweet kiddo.

But not too sweet. Just right.

I try to scrape some of the syrup off, most of the time. I've published a few that were diabetes inducing

Truck stops, generally but very randomly, are still good places to meet bands

The consummate salesman.

He's great at selling others' stuff, now, here's his chance to enjoy the fruits of the moment.

Some would be star struck, but not Tip.

Good job. Fun story!

Star struck people can be cute but extremely annoying

The van needed cosmetic work. Tip Reiger couldn’t have cared less, except he was selling ComfortLove blankets out of it.

He got the idea for the blankets from a dermatology PHD who was working as a masseuse out of her house in Downey.

Very good. Just a bit of realism mixed in to make it believable. I don't have any trouble thinking that this could be a report.

A few of the stories lately have pushed the edges of believability. Maybe I should write another fantasy short.
