I like it, and it fits the challenge very well. Sorry to hear about the bad experience in Dayton. I lived there for a few years, but it wasn’t nearly as eventful.
I’m glad you survived the assault and the criticism. Mice In The Leaves is a beautiful read, Tad. Thanks for sharing it. (I also like knowing that I’m not the only one who writes at work.)
