I love the ending,even it's a little bittersweet, but life is like that...I really feel the hurt of both. 🌹

I love the end of this story Luke and the digital art of the thug you met whilst waiting for a friend.

Really liked the resolution, such a sweet tone to the story. Having him get knocked down and showing that he's still a hero was a great turn of events. Gave me the feels, which is a great sign :)

Ahh, too kind! Thank you, Scott. The resolution was a big focus for me so I'm glad to hear it worked.

This reminds me of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

I was hoping no one would spot that. It's quite close to the one where Robert bumps into a kid at the station and bashes his dad. Then he complains that everybody loves his brother more, well... mate?

Your short stories have got me back into reading. I can't say I've been faithful since your last post. I hope you'll accept my polyamorous literary desires. See you in a fortnight!

That's why they call you Promiscuous Chris, just so you know. What are you reading? I'm reading Tenth of December by George Saunders again.
