Those red threads searching for a body to inhabit... those were so nasty and sad in the best way that I just kind of winced and kept going. 😣

Intense, dark and beautifully written

Brutal and dark, but with lovely, occasionally lyrical prose. Like black coffee laced with antifreeze.

You nailed the "dark" part.

John, another fantastic story. You certainly have a way of keeping me on the edge of my seat with the graphic detail you are able to put to paper.

Thanks for keeping this story honest. I once wrote a script about a pregnant drug user with a few layers that investors and casting agents didn’t want to touch. The story still haunts me. So thanks again for keeping this truth alive.

This piece stayed with me truly.

The emotional depth is truly impactful. It makes one reflect on the fragility of life and the importance of compassion and understanding for those battling addiction. Bless you my dear friend for sharing such important and brutal truths.
