I remember how I felt reading “To kill a mockingbird”. I was 13 or 14 years old and I knew that something bad was going to happen. And it did.
I had that same sense of imminent danger reading your story, Jimmy. Then a sadness about the loss of innocence. Nicely crafted, and your economic style means the reader is transported on an emotional journey in a couple of minutes.
Loved it, and well done on the story and the photograph, Jimmy.
That’s a wow.
Thanks. The story really grew as I was writing
Brilliant story.
All the emotions.
Wow.
I was trail walking at dusk at a conference in Northern Michigan and this one poured out of me
I couldn’t figure out where the heck Maria came from but I was really glad she showed up
People just walking a trail
All of these comments, yet. I was holding off until I could breathe again -and because I couldn’t stop thinking ‘Holy shit’.
What a freaking beauty this story is - brutal but as real as beauty is, J.
I wanted to write a really good one to do justice to the memory of the place I was. Even though it’s dark I think the story succeeded
Boy did it succeed. No question.

That comparison is a beautiful compliment. Thanks Paul
Another great start to a much longer story or tv series. 👍🏻
Awesome, Jimmy. A breath catcher. I hope the dumb kids figure out Ganjy helped with all that, haha.
Thanks. I’m glad I guessed correctly that this one was worth sharing
For sure. I dig the subtle class thing going on too.
The tension built though i remembered the outcome.. that’s how good this is.
