Captivating writing. "I even sold one of those Rhino dick pills to a pimply kid with a shit-eating grin while the banana-scented fumes of his sunscreen assaulted my nostrils" is my favorite sentence of the week.

Visualizing that entire showdown scene had me in tears. Not an easy feat. Tu salute, Don Corleone.

There's nothing more fun and satisfying than when you write out a banger scene. Keep it up.

For sure! I’ve got a couple more stories in mind for the ol’ Quik FIx and all its crazy customers. Stay tuned!

I did my usual idiot thing of thinking the first comment was from the author...

so try again..

"An absolute peach of a story. Delicious succulent prose, like a hot salt beef bagel and just as satisfying. I applaud you Jimmy."

Honestly, my favorite part of writing fiction like this is taking all the years of weird shit and turning it into tall tales. So fun. I definitely never beat anyone in a game of SKATE though
