This story has a nice Twain to it, very Clemens-esque, you could say. Looks like ol’ Huck Fin and Tom Sawyer gots ‘em some comp’tition here with Pistol and Tugs. Well done, Doc.
Yes, well done indeed. Quality writing that let’s you really hear the character’s voice— highly engaging and inclusive— I feel like I’m listening in the audience watching a play. With so much dialogue here I suppose it most certainly could be a play!
