You write such vivid description. The pile of pavement pizza painted quite the picture in my mind.

When Mr. Jingles said stay golden, I totally thought he’d starting peeing gold coins. His own pot of gold at the end of his chunk filled rainbow 🌈 🍀

That was magnificent, so much grunt so such a short story! And the artwork was gorgeous too! Where did you find it?

Certainly not the ending I was expecting, but it was a very enjoyable (if messy) read :D
